In 2016, when her eighth studio album, Anti, was released, Rihanna gave her last live performance for the next seven years. Since then, the multiple Grammy Award-winning artist has amassed a billion-dollar fortune with the high-end cosmetics and fashion label Fenty. She also recently welcomed a newborn baby boy with her partner A$AP Rocky in May.
Finally, on Sunday, on the occasion of the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs American football match at Arizona’s State Farm Arena, Rihanna put an end to her stage performance dry spell. However, Donald Trump has now launched a new strike against Rihanna in response to her well-received Super Bowl Halftime performance.
What did Donald Trump say?
“EPIC FAIL: Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst Halftime Show in Super Bowl history,” the former president raged on his Truth Social website.
“This after insulting far more than half of our Nation, which is already in serious DECLINE, with her foul and insulting language. Also, so much for her ‘Stylist!’”
As usual, Trump only cares about getting his way and serving revenge, long after everyone else has moved on from such controversies. The “foul and insulting language” Trump alluded to was the slogan “F*** Trump” that Rihanna painted on a car at the Cadillac Ranch in Texas in 2020.
After opening with her 2015 single B*tch Better Have My Money, Rihanna performed a mashup of her biggest hits including Umbrella, We Found Love, Where Have You Been, Diamonds, and Work for a total of 13 minutes. Videos of Rihanna’s performance are now going viral and getting overwhelmingly positive reactions.
Many spectators also noticed that Rihanna was showing off a pregnancy bump during the performance. The 34-year-old pop star’s second pregnancy has now been officially confirmed by the artist’s representatives.
