On February 12, 2023, apart from blockbuster football, R&B sensation Rihanna is set to headline the Super Bowl halftime show. TMZ primarily updated that NFL and Roc Nation were in talks and Rihanna’s performance was a done deal.
Within minutes of the disclosure, the media outlet finally declared the news true. Instantly, she posted a picture of a hand holding an NFL football on social media pages. With Rihanna as the headliner, Jay-Z extended his appreciation to the artist.
“Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn. A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment.” he wrote.
Earlier, Rihanna had the opportunity to perform on the grand occasion in 2018. However, she rejected the proposal in solidarity with quarterback-turned-civil rights activist Colin Kaepernick. After being sidelined because of his kneeling protests in 2016, the veteran went unsigned, which nearly faded his NFL aspirations and future in the league.
During that time, she mentioned not becoming a sellout or serving the organization in any form. This latest news will certainly excite NFL fans worldwide to stick to their screens on the grand day of the Super Bowl.
