During a recent episode of The Big podcast, the Los Angeles Lakers legend couldn’t help but shower the pop star with praise for her breathtaking performance during the Super Bowl halftime show. Understandably, The Big Aristotle wasn’t really happy when a certain section of fans dissed RiRi. Hence, when co-host Nischelle Turner showed up with the numbers of the Super Bowl audience, the Big Man had an apt response for the haters.
According to reports, Rihanna’s halftime show was watched by 118 Million viewers compared to 113 Million individuals watching the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. Instantly, the RnB star hit the record books, as it was the second-most viewed halftime show in Super Bowl history.
“That’s what I’m saying, Thank You.” said the Big Man after learning about the astonishing viewership. He further added, ” … don’t get on your Twitter followers with 30 Million people. Leave this lady alone. Rihanna thank you[Claps], that was my first time I’ve ever seen you perform. You did a great job. I love you, we all love you.”
