No one wants to play with Maroon 5 during the 2019 Super Bowl halftime show, and Amy Schumer believes that’s at least partially her doing.
According to TMZ, the comedienne believes she started a “domino effect” when she lambasted Maroon 5 back in October, pleading with the top 40 band to drop the NFL gig because the league was “conspiring” to lock out former second-string 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick over his anti-racism protests.
“No one is stepping up to perform.” Schumer told the entertainment news program.

“The snooty lil digs about me in stories about the Super Bowl halftime talent is such a yawn,” Schumer said. “All out of touch white guys annoyed by me standing up for what I believe is right.”
