Kansas City Chiefs Win Super Bowl LVII Against Philadelphia Eagles

by

The Kansas City Chiefs just emerged victorious against the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LVII. Moreover, their victory was hard-fought, well-earned, and the product of an incredibly close game. For viewers who don’t often watch football and hardcore fans alike, it was a nail-biting game. In fact, the two teams were neck and neck for the majority of the game, trading touchdowns and massive plays. However, the game-winning play didn’t come without some controversy.

Moreover, this is yet another Super Bowl win for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Also, the quarterback is now the NFL MVP, becoming the first player to do so and win a Super Bowl since 1999. Given this is the most competitive night in the world for some, it’s not surprising to see some conflict come up. Furthermore, a touchdown and two-point conversion from the Eagles tied the game with 5:15 left. Then, the Chiefs marched down the field with the ball, arriving at Philly’s 15-yard line with two minutes to spare. As Kansas faced a third-and-8 that went incomplete, things looked doable for the Eagles.

However, a flag changed the entire game. According to officials, James Bradberry (defensive back for the Eagles) committed a holding on Chief player JuJu Smith-Schuster that prevented his running route. Moreover, the call meant five yards and fresh downs for the now-Super Bowl LVII victors. Of course, that was all Mahomes needed. After that call, Kansas killed the clock with three plays and set up a 27-yard field goal from Harrison Butker. In the move that sealed their win, his goal gave KC the 38-35 lead.

Meanwhile, the Eagles’ final play was a throw from Jalen Hurts that didn’t reach the end zone. So, Mahomes and company scored Super Bowl No. 2 for the Chiefs. Overall, it was an incredible game and an overall wonderful night for entertainment. Between Rihanna’s halftime show and commercials galore, any pop culture fan had something to celebrate. However, what did you think about that game-winning call for the Chiefs and the game in general? Regardless of your emotions, tell us in the comments and come back to HNHH for some heated Super Bowl discussion.

Rihanna Representative Confirms She’s Pregnant With Second Child

by

A representative from her team just reportedly confirmed that Rihanna is pregnant with her second child. Moreover, this confirmation comes after the star’s spectacular Super Bowl halftime show, where she played a slew of hits both on and off of awe-inspiring elevated platforms. Furthermore, someone from her team confirmed her pregnancy to The Hollywood Reporter. Of course, this confirmation came after rampant speculation online from the moment fans saw RiRi’s belly. While it’s always advised to be skeptical, it seems people were so hungry to know that the celebrations came quick.

Still, it’s understandable if you were too caught up in the show’s hit parade to notice. However, it all started when the 34-year-old singer opened her red coat during her rendition of “B***h Better Have My Money.” When she revealed her belly to the screen many saw a baby bump right away. Even though it’s a quick conclusion to reach, many wondered whether she simply had postpartum weight. Normalizing such things is a valid cause and an important one, but it looks like it’s a conversation for another time.

Moreover, people have seemingly split opinions on her show. Although she can rock a colosseum all by herself, many felt disappointed by a lack of guest performances. However, the Fenty mogul hinted at the most special guest of all well before anyone knew. On Friday night, she had an interview with Nate Burleson on NFL+. When he asked her whether she thought of bringing special guests, her answer was curious, and we all should’ve seen it. “I’m thinking about bringing someone,” she replied simply. While people speculated about Jay-Z or T.I., the true special appearance was something unheard of at previous big game shows.

Meanwhile, the “Diamonds” singer is already a proud mother of one with her boo A$AP Rocky. “When you become a mom, there’s just something that happens that makes you feel like you could take on the world,” she expressed. “You could do anything. The Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world. It’s important for me to do this this year, it’s important for representation. It’s important for my son.” Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Rihanna and her incredible career and family.

Jay-Z And Blue Ivy Carter Took Adorable Photos On The Super Bowl Field, But One Detail Stood Out For Fans

Jay-Z was recently spotted alongside his eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, while at Super Bowl LVII. The father and daughter duo stood on the field to take some photos, but one thing stood out. In one of the photos that have surfaced online, Jay-Z can be seen wrapping his arm around Blue like a proud dad, which is no big deal. But fans were quick to point out that Jay’s photo for his gameday access pass looks like it’s from decades ago.

Jay- Z has a lot to celebrate these days. Aside from being a proud father, he and his wife are Grammy award-winning mega hitmakers. The couple recently tied for most Grammy nominations in recording history with 88. But it was his wife who made history that night, with the most Grammy wins from any artist ever for her Reinassance album.

The Brooklyn-bred mogul also took the Grammy stage that night —his first time in years— giving a thrilling eight-minute performance of Dj Khaled’s “God Did.” Joining him were Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, John Legend, and Giveon.

The rapper also closed on a multi-billion dollar deal with D’Usse following his lawsuit with Bacardi, with whom he co-owned the liquor company. Jay’s company SC Liquor sued the top-shelf liquor brand over “financial clarity” back in October, according to TMZ.

Rihanna’s Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show Performance Included A Slew Of Her Biggest Hits

The moment everyone was waiting for — or at least, non-football fans and everybody outside of Philly, Kansas City, and Phoenix (where the game was held) — has arrived: Rihanna’s Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show performance has brought the house down.

While the set included such hits as “Rude Boy,” “Work,” and “We Found Love.” The set opened with “Bitch Better Have My Money” as Rihanna stood on a suspended platform high above the field, and as it dropped down to hover just over the field, she launched into a dance breakdown-driven “Where Have You Been” and “Only Girl.” She even threw in a little of DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts,” as a treat. The final song was “Diamonds,” a showstopping number that once again saw her ascend to the top of the stadium as thousands of fans’ phone lights glittered around her like, well, diamonds in the sky.

It’s obviously difficult to squeeze 15+ years into just 13 minutes of performance — as evidenced by Rihanna remixing the set no fewer than 39 times — but fortunately, all those comparisons between Rihanna and Beyoncé turned out to be good for something. Rihanna watched Beyoncé’s 2013 and 2016 Super Bowl Halftime performances for inspiration, telling iHeartRadio, “She is a beast and a whole other level. Just to be inspired, really.”

In addition to the challenge of compressing so much music into such a short amount of time, Rihanna also had to contend with conservative pushback to her playing the Halftime Show. Ronny Jackson, a Republican Congressman from Texas, tweeted, “Why is the NFL showcasing this crap? Rihanna SHOULD NOT be the halftime performer!!” However, he was quickly (and rightly) shouted down by Twitter users who recognized his outburst for the cry for attention it obviously was.

Now that the performance itself is in the rearview, fans are looking forward to Rihanna’s next move — hoping for a new album or tour announcement — although she’s warned that just because she’s returned to the stage, doesn’t mean she’s automatically jumping headfirst back into the music spotlight. But we can hope!

Cardi B & Offset’s Super Bowl Commercial For McDonald’s Celebrates Love

by

Cardi B and Offset’s Super Bowl commercial for McDonald’s was a wholesome and loving affair. Moreover, their signature McDonald’s meal (for two, obviously) will launch on Valentine’s Day. In the commercial, though, they are just one of many couples who talk about sharing and enjoying their food together. Of course, some of them have different takes on sharing fries than others. Still, even in the most stacked advertising night of the year, it’s hard to deny they stood out. Overall, it made for a tender and filling ad with a lot of heart.

During most of the commercial, the couples talk about what their partner wants. For example, Cardi B said that Offset always gets a Quarter Pounder and a Hi-C. “He a simple man,” she said as they sat together at a Mickey D’s table. Moreover, the other couples debated about getting “[partner] points” for letting them eat from their fries. “If it’s mine, it’s hers,” the Migo said. Surely, they’ll enjoy many more McDonald’s meals together, especially now that they have their own. if you’re curious, it comes with a cheeseburger, Quarter Pounder with cheese, and barbecue sauce. Also, you’ll enjoy a large order of fries, an apple pie, the aforementioned large Hi-C, and a large Coke.

Furthermore, Cardi took to Twitter to excitedly gush about the ad. “Y’all saw our commercial? PARAPAPAPA I’m F*ckin him! …The CARDI & Offset meal is coming February 14 at your closest McDonald’s!!!” The fast food giant also had to hop on and give a little promo of their own. “Introducing the Cardi B & Offset meal, coming February 14,” they captioned a picture of them sitting with the bag in front of them. Oh, the McDonald’s bag, not the bag they got for participating in the commercial.

Meanwhile, Cardi B and Offset recently performed during one of the many Super Bowl parties this weekend. While they’ve been dealing with some unfortunate beef as of late, nothing does the trick quite like a shared meal to get their spirits up. Let us know what you think of their ad and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on the Super Bowl.

Diddy’s Super Bowl Commercial Highlights Past Catchy Hits

by

Diddy’s Super Bowl commercial for UberEats ended up being one of the funniest this year. Moreover, the skit is based on a group of executives trying to get Diddy to make a new song for the Uber One membership. “Diddy don’t do jingles,” his threatening bodyguard tells them, as he sits in silence in his office. However, the commercial then goes into the studio, where Combs and his entourage listen to prospective hitmakers. In fact, they’re all bonafide hitmakers, as you’re bound to recognize all these tracks. Even if they fit slightly into the “one-hit wonder” category, these melodies are more far-reaching than some entire discographies.

Still, it was pretty funny seeing the Bad Boy chief give his take on these “auditions.” Starting things off was singer-turned-minister Montrell Jordan, who rapped a UberEats-centric version of his 1995 hit “This Is How We Do It.” Moreover, Diddy cheered on everyone in the booth- well, almost everyone, but we’ll get to that. Next up was Donna Lewis, who spun her 1996 cut “I Love You Always Forever.” Also, singer-turned-farmer Kelis sang a remixed version of her iconic track “Milkshake” from 2003. Don’t remember that one? Well, it brings all the boys to the yard, and they’re like “it’s better than yours.”

However, once Swedish duo Ylvis hit the booth with a rendition of their YouTube sensation “What Does The Fox Say?”, Diddy asked them to stop their repeated barking. Then, they retorted in Swedish, and the mogul’s right-hand man responded perfectly back. Last, but certainly not least, singer Haddaway emerged from behind Ylvis to sing his absolute smasher “What Is Love.” Overall, it was a nostalgic, brief, and sweet celebration of some of the biggest earworms of the last thirty years or so.

Meanwhile, the 53-year-old took to Twitter to share his excitement over his second Super Bowl commercial. “Proud to be starring in my second #SuperBowl commercial! Watch it tonight during the 2nd quarter!” he wrote. Also, his flame Yung Miami expressed support of her own via the app. “Papi only does HITS,” she wrote excitedly, sharing the commercial in full. Speaking of which, you can see the whole UberEats commercial from Diddy above. Of course, stay logged into HNHH for the latest on the Super Bowl and its amazing commercials.

Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Stuns The World

by

After all the wait, hype, and about seven years of waiting for Rihanna to return to the music stage, her Super Bowl halftime show was quite the sight. From her insane stage design, engaging choreography, and abundant catalog of hits, the performance offered a lot to both stadium audiences and fans watching from their couch. While no special guests appeared, the singer gave a wonderful performance and oozed confidence as she sang her best hits. Also, she even took the chance to plug some Fenty products during her performance, as she used a mirror and blush.

To start things off, she played a short video with her track “What’s My Name?” When we finally saw RiRi above the football field- wait, above the field? Furthermore, she stood on a suspended platform far above the field, with other stages reserved for some of her backup dancers. Her actual performance, though, began with her banger, “B***h Better Have My Money.” Also, she showed off a beautiful red ensemble as she sang and floated up and down. Eventually, the star singer returned to Earth, but went back and forth between her main stage and the floating platforms.

Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Setlist

In fact, the 34-year-old’s setlist transitioned and mashed up with itself perfectly. For example, she transitioned her next track, “Where Have You Been,” into “Only Girl In The World” as her white-dressed backup dancers seemed like a hive mind of great dance. Then, she played more classics like “We Found Love” with fireworks, “S&M,” “Rude Boy,” and “Work.” In addition, she went seamlessly into “Wild Thoughts” before walking off stage and transitioning into “Pour It Up.” Most surprisingly, she played a short snippet of the Kanye West track “All Of The Lights,” where she gives an iconic vocal line.

Rounding out her performance, she rose again after playing “Run This Town” with a live band. Finally, she graced fans with two of her most iconic songs to end it off: “Umbrella” and “Diamonds,” during which she might’ve made a crazy announcement. Moreover, many people believe that Rihanna is pregnant with her second child, though that just might be the Internet reading too deeply into a belly. Regardless, let us know what you thought of Rihanna’s show down below and come back to HNHH for the latest updates.

So far, the Super Bowl LVII commercials featuring musicians have been centered around music. Cardi B and her husband Offset’s McDonald’s commercial was all about their forthcoming couple’s meal at the chain. While Jennifer Lopez and her husband Ben Affleck, put their love of coffee and donuts on full display in their Dunkin’ Donuts commercial.

However, music mogul, Diddy wanted to remind everyone just how he became a mogul in his appearance in Uber Eats’ latest commercial. As part of the company’s campaign to push its Uber One membership, the former A&R is seeking out the perfect jingle to do so.

During the commercial, several musicians at the helm of the millennium’s most catchy tracks audition. Singer-turned-minister Montell Jordan appears rapping his 1995 single “This is How We Do It.” Singer-turned-farmer Kelis sings a remixed version of her 2003’s song “Milkshake.” Donna Lewis, who had a hand in the 1996 hit “I Love You Always Forever,” “What is Love” singer Haddaway and duo Ylvis behind the 2013 song “What Does the Fox Say” all appear.

Before the commercial aired, Diddy couldn’t hold back his excitement, tweeting, “Proud to be starring in my second #SuperBowl commercial! Watch it tonight during the 2nd quarter!”

Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce seems to be having a great game so far. The Cleveland native celebrated his touchdown over the Philadelphia Eagles during Super Bowl LVII with a classic dance move provided by the GS Boyz. The Texas rap group is behind the popular “Stanky Legg” dance, which debuted back in 2008. The dance is based on a dance movement that originated in Dallas. To date, the trio’s hit has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

While the song only peaked at No.49 on Billboard Hot 100, it reached No.7 on the rap charts. The single was a major hit on BET’s 106 & Park, topping the video countdown in 2009. The track even received a remix by Trina.

Aside from the big game, fans couldn’t more excited to see the halftime performer, Rihanna. The Barbadian singer is expected to hit the stage tonight for a thrilling performance of a medley of her biggest hits. The “Work” hitmaker recently revealed that she changed the setlist nearly 39 times.

Fans are hoping that her upcoming performance could be her entryway back into music. While sitting down with Apple Music host Nadeska the new mother said that she’s feeling open to “exploring and creating things that are new.”

She continued, “I just wanna play. I wanna have fun. I want to have to have
fun with music.”

Move over, Cardi B and Offset. You two aren’t the only beloved entertainment couple putting their love for one another, along with their love of fast food, on full display during Super Bowl LVII. Instead of a burger and fries at McDonald’s, Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Ben Affleck, lent their famous faces to the coffee company Dunkin’ Donuts.

Affleck is a notorious lover of the chain, having been spotted at several locations across the country. But during the commercial, he switches places. Rather than his usual role of customer, he is now a worker surprising drive-thru patrons… and the last of which is his singer and fellow actress wife, Jennifer Lopez.

The franchise quickly posted the commercial after airing during the Super Bowl onto their official Twitter page with the caption, “They say go big or go home, so Ben went big and came home to Massachusetts.” Lopez wasted no time in quote tweeting with her sole line from the commercial, “#GrabMeAGlazed.”

Lopez has sung all about her need to remain humble despite her fame. Whether she’s singing about how her love doesn’t cost a thing or how she’s still just “Jenny from the block,” she has proved it in this funny commercial.
