Surprise! Rihanna is pregnant again. This was the big takeaway from the Grammy-winning singer’s Super Bowl half-time show on Sunday – her first solo live performance in seven years. The 34-year-old took a step back from her music career to focus on other projects such as her successful make-up and lingerie line Fenty, before giving birth to her first child in May 2022.
Rihanna’s return to the spotlight was not met without criticism in America. Some Republicans condemned the NFL’s choice to have Rihanna perform due to her aggressively left-wing political views. Others took issue with the performance itself, pointing out that some of her lyrics and dance moves were quite raunchy.
‘Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst half-time show in Super Bowl history,’ former president Donald Trump said. ‘This after insulting far more than half our nation… with her foul and insulting language.’
The most baffling accusation was that Rihanna’s red jumpsuit was a nod to Satan.
