As soon as she hit the stage in a red Loewe jumpsuit to open the show with “B—h Better Have My Money”, it was pretty clear that Rihanna’s outfit was meant to show off her baby bump and confirm she was expecting her second child with A$AP Rocky.

Things just get better from there, and she knocked us off our feet with her amazing performance, which included such smash-hits as “Only Girl in the World”, “Rude Boy”, and “Umbrella” before she closed the show with “Diamonds”.

Rihanna previously told Apple Music’s Nadeska Alexis that she wanted the halftime show to be a celebration of her catalog, but doing it in just 13 minutes wasn’t an easy task. She reportedly came up with 39 different versions of a setlist before choosing 12 songs to perform, spanning her entire career.

Super Bowl LVII took place on February 12, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and it saw the Kansas City Chiefs win their second title in four years.

Rihanna announced she’s performing at the Super Bowl halftime show next year by posting a photo of herself holding an NFL ball. The NFL officials confirmed her involvement and reposted her photo on their social media channels.

The upcoming halftime show will mark a huge shift because the NFL parted ways with Pepsi after a decade and found a new partner in Apple Music. The company’s VP of Apple Music and Beats, Oliver Schusser, described Rihanna as an incredible artist for the inaugural Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Roc Nation is coming on board as executive producer and the strategic entertainment advisor for the live performance. Their founder Jay-Z, who helped Rihanna sign her first major contract with Def Jam, praised her as “a generational talent” and “a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn.”

Rihanna will headline the halftime show on February 12, 2023, when the Super Bowl LVII is set to take place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

The post Super Bowl Halftime Show Finds Its Next Headliner in Rihanna appeared first on TheDailyDay.

The singing actress has been around since 1989 and has 9 Grammy Awards and 3 Golden Globes to her name. Throw in two Oscar nominations, and you can see why Blige is the worthy recipient of this year’s BET Lifetime Achievement Award.

Fellow musician Rihanna presented the award to the “I’m Goin’ Down” singer.

“Mary J. Blige: you have set the bar for relatable, timeless, classic music. You opened multiple doors for female artists in this industry. And on behalf of all the women [who] came after you — like myself — thank you for being you so we can feel comfortable being ourselves,” the “We Found Love” singer said in her introduction.

“Thank you for pouring your soul into every track and giving us a song for every feeling. Thank you for showing us that love is all that we need. But we didn’t know how much we actually needed you.”

In her speech, Blige said, “People always ask, how do I sustain and stay relevant in this industry? It’s because, although I am a leader, a queen, and a living legend… I’m a servant as well, and I’m here to serve. Being a servant is not always glamorous or popular, but it’s the job and the assignment that I was given. It’s because in order to be an authority, I had to learn how to come under authority because when the glory is placed on me I give it back to God immediately.”

And that’s the 411.

According to Forbes, the singer now has a staggering net worth of $600 million, far surpassing those of the previous record holders Madonna ($570 million) and Celine Dion ($450 million).

Considering the 31-year-old pop star hasn’t released an album since 2016, most of her fortune has been amassed through her Fenty Beauty line, as well as her fashion line Fenty with French luxury goods company LVMH. It’s estimated that the cosmetics line is worth about $3 billion and generated $150 million in its first 15 months of operation.

Clearly Rihanna has invested wisely, and many experts attribute her financial success to more than just slapping her name on a brand.

The Barbadian beauty mogul has chosen ventures that speak to her personality and show fans that she actually believes in the product. Not only that, but her makeup line is extremely inclusive, offering shades to everyone from those with very dark complexions, to those who are very pale.

Obviously, Robyn Rihanna Fenty has done a lot of things right, making herself a true rags to riches story. You go girl!

Not what we think, apparently.

Rihanna may be one of the most famous stars on the planet, but it turns out we’ve been saying her name wrong this whole time!

The “Wild Thoughts” singer was born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, but has gone by her middle name “Rihanna” throughout her 16-year career.

In a video interview with British Vogue to promote a pop-up store in Paris for her new Fenty collection, the Barbados native illustrates how to correctly pronounce her name.

And it isn’t “Ree-ah-nah” like many people (especially those in the United States) are used to saying!

Instead, in the singer’s own words, it is pronounced “Ree-anna”.

Raise your hand if you were today-years-old when you found this out!

The “Love on the Brain” singer has music on her mind, too, according to her latest Instagram story.

Last year, the 30-year-old announced that she would be bringing us new music this year after a 3 year hiatus since her last album.

She made the reveal in reply to a fan who commented on an Instagram post.

And now the rumour has become real with the Barbadian beauty sharing snippets of herself in studio.

Fans understandably went wild with excitement:

It is possible that the singer’s 9th studio album might be filled with reggae as she told Vogue in May that she was exploring the genre.

RiRi, we don’t love the way you lie, so bitch better have our music!

The “Love on the Brain” singer may have had much of her success whilst living in the United States, but she has never forgotten her Barbados roots.

And now, the 9-time Grammy award winner has something to show for it.

The 30-year-old has been named “Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary” with the duties of promoting “education, tourism, and investment for the island.”

The appointment was made by Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, who said, “Rihanna has a deep love for this country and this is reflected in her philanthropy, especially in the areas of health and education. She also shows her patriotism in the way she gives back to this country and continues to treasure the island as her home. She has also demonstrated, beyond her success as a pop icon, significant creative acumen, and shrewdness in business. It is therefore fitting that we engage and empower her to play a more definitive role as we work to transform Barbados.”

RiRi’s full title is now Her Excellency Rihanna CE, Barbadian Ambassador-at-Large for Education, Tourism, and Investment.

Take a bow.

The publication acknowledged the influence of the 4 individuals, particularly when it came to their impact on social media:

In spite of Kanye’s recent tweets causing controversy, his latest album, Ye, helped the 41-year-old achieve the record-equalling feat of having 8 consecutive albums debut at number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Kanye’s sister-in-law, Kylie, meanwhile, is the highest-paid celebrity on Instagram, with her February post announcing the name of her daughter, Stormi Webster, becoming the most-liked image ever posted on the platform.

Busy Phillips may not have as illustrious a film career as her best friend, Michelle Williams, but the I Feel Pretty star has utilized her Instagram account to let people in on her daily life which includes being a working mother and battling with mental illness.

And Rihanna’s recent foray into the beauty and fashion industry has made the Work singer even more popular, while her denouncement of her image being used as part of a domestic violence campaign by Snapchat in March caused the company to lose $800 million in revenue.

Police rushed to the “Love on the Brain” singer’s Los Angeles home on Thursday night after the alarm was tampered with.

Upon arriving at the residence, authorities found a 26-year-old man who appeared to have spent the night — in the house.

According to reports, Eduardo Leon had managed to disable the alarm system the previous day, and entered the home, where he unpacked his belongings, proceeded to charge his cellphone, and then spend the night.

RiRi was thankfully not home at the time as the 30 year old was in New York City to launch her Savage X Fenty lingerie collection.

Leon refused to exit the property when ordered to by police, forcing them to taser him in order to arrest him.

He is now being held on $150,000 bail on further charges of residential burglary and trespassing.

Let’s hope he doesn’t make himself at home ever again.

During an interview with Vogue, the “Needed Me” singer revealed that she is no longer friends with Canadian rapper Drake.

Speculation has always surrounded the pair’s relationship, with fans wondering whether they may have ever embarked on something romantic (which RiRi has always denied).

Then, while presenting her with the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, the “God’s Plan” rapper dropped a massive bombshell.

“We love the music, we love the videos, but most of all, we love the woman who hasn’t changed since day one,” Drake declares. “She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old. She’s one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life I’ve looked up to her even though she’s younger than me. She’s a living, breathing legend in our industry.”

The speech didn’t go down too well, with Rihanna saying, “Waiting through that speech was probably the most uncomfortable part. I don’t like too many compliments; I don’t like to be put on blast.”

“We don’t have a friendship now, but we’re not enemies either. It is what it is,” the 30 year old clarified.

She definitely doesn’t have love on the brain…
