Adele

All eyes are off the GRAMMYs and are on to the Super Bowl. That includes Adele, who is making the trip to Phoenix, but not for the battle of the Chiefs and Eagles. Adele is going for Rihanna.

During one of her residency shows at Caesars Palace in Vegas, Adele revealed Rihanna is bigger than the game for her.

“I’m going just for Rihanna. I don’t give a flying f–k,” Adele said.

Rihanna will take the stage during halftime of the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, her return after a lengthy hiatus.

In a PEOPLE exclusive, Rihanna is stated to be “focused” and “rehearsing” for the halftime show.

“She is ready for the Super Bowl,” says the source. “She is rehearsing right now. She’s very excited, ready and focused.

“She can’t wait to kill it.”

Last week, Apple Music provided Rihanna fans with new and exclusive opportunities to appreciate and celebrate her musical talent.

Rihanna teased fans with a first-look clip earlier this month. As the big performance approaches, fans can enjoy Rihanna’s music with the deeply enriched multidimensional sound of Apple Music. Starting today, customers can listen to the megastar’s tracks in Dolby Atmos with Spatial Audio, displaying her heart-pumping anthems from her career fusing pop, rap, R&B, and EDM sounds under her ever-expanding tent.

“Rihanna is one of the most prolific artists of our time, and we, along with her many fans across the globe, cannot wait to see her take the stage at the first Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Apple Music and Beats. “We are excited to celebrate Rihanna, and give her fans a new way to experience her music with Spatial Audio, as well as exclusive content from Apple Music.”

Apple Music Radio’s Nadeska Alexis will interview Rihanna at the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show Press Conference on February 9, 2023, at 10 a.m. MST. Viewers may check in live or on demand via Apple Music, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter, as well as the NFL Network.

Rihanna is staging her comeback on one of the biggest nights in television, Super Bowl LVII, which is set for February 12. A source close to the Barbadian-bred mogul reveals that the “Diamonds” singer is more focused than ever for her upcoming halftime performance.

“She is ready for the Super Bowl,” a source told People. “She is rehearsing right now. She’s very excited, ready, and focused.”

Despite the 34-year-old new mom being under a presumably grueling rehearsal schedule, the singer reportedly “can’t wait to kill it,” according to the source.

In October, ahead of her highly-anticipated halftime performance released a teaser trailer, only further amping up excitement.

But before Rihanna hits the stage, Country star Chris Stapleton will open the show with the National Anthem. Emmy award-winning Abbot Elementary actress Sheryl Lee Ralph is also expected to appear, performing a rendition of the Black National Anthem, “Lift Every Voice.” Iconic producer, singer, and songwriter Babyface will also grace the stage to perform “America the Beautiful.”

In other news, Rihanna has a lot to be excited about. Aside from her new bundle of joy that she had this past May with boyfriend ASAP Rocky, Rihanna’s track for Black Panther 2, titled “Lift Me Up” — her first major project since 2016’s ANTI — has been nominated for an Academy Award.

Diddy Stars In Uber Commercial For Super Bowl LVII

by

Diddy stars as a music executive in a new commercial for Uber that is set to air during Super Bowl LVII, later this month. In the piece, Uber propositions Diddy with coming up with a song for the company, to which he declines. The advertisement comes ahead of the release of his next album, Off the Grid Vol. 1.

“So, we’re thinking a song could really put Uber One on the map,” a company executive tells Diddy. A henchman for the mogul then responds, “Diddy don’t do jingles.” When the executive changes his wordage from “jingle” to “hit,” Diddy becomes more interested. “Meet me at the studio,” Diddy says.

Fans can expect many more hits from Diddy as he prepares for the release of Off the Grid Vol. 1. It will be his first full-length album since 2006’s Press Play and his first under his imprint, Love Records. “Music has always been my first love, Love Records is the next chapter is about getting back to the love and making the best music of my life,” Diddy said in a statement when he launched the label. “For the label, I’m focused on creating timeless R&B music with the next generation of artists and producers. Motown is the perfect partner for my album and I’m excited to add to its legacy.”

Diddy isn’t the only hip-hop artist with a Super Bowl ad. Cardi B, Offset, Jack Harlow, and more will also be making appearances during game breaks. Cardi B and Offset will be acting in a commercial for McDonald’s, while Harlow will be promoting Doritos alongside Missy Elliott.

Check out the forthcoming Super Bowl LVII commercial below. The game will kick off on February 12. The Kansas City Chiefs will be taking on the Philidelphia Eagles while Rihanna will be performing during the halftime show. It will be her first major performance since the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards and hopefully a sign of more music on the way.

Drake Wins $2.1 Million Bet After Kansas City Chiefs Advance To Super Bowl

by

The 6 God is no stranger to sports bets, and he continues to go big and (sometimes) win big. Drake just won a bet on the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory in the AFC Championship game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Moreover, he won a $2.1 million cash-out after the Chiefs won 23-20, advancing them to Super Bowl LVII on February 12.

Furthermore, the Canadian artist bet over $1.1 million on the Kansas City team via his gambling sportsbook partner Stake. Also, he posted his betting slip on his Instagram story before the two Sunday (January 29) championship games. “@Stake let’s make today the day,” he captioned.

Unfortunately, Drake lost an $850,000 bet on the San Francisco 49ers beating the Philadelphia Eagles in the other championship game. Earlier in the day, the Eagles beat the 49ers 31-7. With odds of 1.87, the “Middle of the Ocean” MC could’ve won up to $1.9 million.

Still, he reposted a tweet from Stake on his Instagram story congratulating his “light work” victory concerning the Chiefs. Meanwhile, maybe Drake will jump ship from Missouri to Pennsylvania for the big game. Also, fans are wondering whether he’ll be in Glendale, Arizona that night to perform with frequent collaborator Rihanna.

However, these aren’t Drizzy’s only big wins with the Chiefs. Previously in October, the 36-year-old put a parlay together with the Buffalo Bills, the Dallas Cowboys, and the Chiefs to win $2 million. Overall, the artist’s gambling skills (or luck) on Stake are well-documented outside of football betting. Back in July, he won $24 million in online roulette as French Montana watched.

“You know what that deserves? A ‘haaan!,’” Drake screamed while livestreaming to celebrating the win. “And I got my special guest in the building, take a seat. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with my brother, my twin, my lookalike Montega.”

Since joining Stake in December of 2021, the OVO boss has wagered over $1 billion so far. Unsurprisingly, his account name is “DeepPockets6.”

Still, what did you think of Drake’s successful bet on the Chiefs moving to the Super Bowl netting him $2.1 million? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, log back into HNHH for the latest on Drake, the Super Bowl, and one of the biggest nights of the year.

Arguably one of the biggest nights of the year, Super Bowl LVII, will be hitting television screens on February 12. The annual sporting event, which will take place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, typically draws millions of viewers yearly. 2023 will be no different. This year, Rihanna will join legendary performers — artists like Beyonce, Prince, and Michael Jackson — when she takes the stage for the Super Bowl halftime show.

The “Lift Me Up” singer made the announcement on social media this past September, sharing a pic of herself holding a football. Recently, the new mother dropped a teaser trailer of her upcoming performance, only amping up the anticipation.

Ri also dropped a limited edition Super Bowl-themed collection with her Savage X Fenty lingerie company earlier this month. The “Game Day” collection will feature 17 sporty styles, including varsity jerseys, hoodies, sweatpants, and more.

But before the billionaire singer takes the stage, several other acts are expected to appear. Country star Chris Stapleton will be opening the show with a rendition of the national anthem. Emmy award-winning Abbot Elementary actress Sherly Lee Ralph is expected to sing the Black national anthem, “Lift Every Voice.”

The lineup doesn’t stop there. Iconic producer, singer, and songwriter Babyface will be singing “America the Beautiful” at the ceremony.

Future football Hall of Famer Tom Brady and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers may be out of the runnings, but that hasn’t slowed down the hype around Super Bowl LVII. The teams playing in the final game are still unknown at this time, with four teams still fighting it out in their respective conference championships. However, at this moment, what we do know is this year’s featured entertainment.

Last year’s halftime show featured an all-star medley performance by rappers Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and 50 Cent alongside singer Mary J. Blige, and producer Dr. Dre featuring their chart-topping hits. This year, Oscar-nominated singer Rihanna is slated to up the mantle. The “Lift Me Up” singer has remained tight-lipped about her upcoming set, leaving fans to speculate what she has up her sleeve.

Now, further details are being released about this year’s pre-game festivities. The national anthem (“The Star-Spangled Banner”) will be sung by country music star Chris Stapleton.

Legendary R&B singer and producer Babyface will sing “America the Beautiful,” while multi-hyphenated Emmy Award-winning actress and singer Sheryl Lee Ralph will sing the Black National Anthem (“Lift Every Voice and Sing”).

Super Bowl LVII will take place on February 12 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Super Bowl Bets

As one can imagine, numerous people will be betting on the big game this year. There is a lot of money to be made, and a whole lot of money to be lost. That said, fans are looking to cash in on their fandom on the sport’s biggest stage.

According to DraftKings Sportsbooks, the odds for the Super Bowl are in. As it turns out, the Chiefs are the favorites at +330. Essentially, this means you will win $330 if you bet $100. The next best odds are the Bills at +400, while the Eagles and 49ers are +600. Moreover, the Bengals are at +800 while the Cowboys clocked in at +1100. As you go deeper, the odds become almost insurmountable with Seahawks and Jaguars reaching +5000 and the Dolphins hitting +6000. The Chargers, Bucs, Ravens, and Vikings are all between the +2000 and +3500 range, which makes them solid darkhorse picks. Overall, picking the Super Bowl right now is a fool’s errand.
