Rihanna’s Super Bowl Performance Draws Over 100 Complaints To FCC
She’s weeks away from gracing the Academy Awards stage, but fans are still reeling from Rihanna’s Super Bowl performance. During her halftime show, she revealed her second pregnancy, just one year after welcoming her first child with A$AP Rocky. The doing dad was also in the audience filming his leading lady as she floated tens of feet above the air. The Super Bowl marked Rihanna’s return to the stage after a seven-year drought and was celebrated among her admirers.
Meanwhile, social media reactions were mixed. Fans applauded the singer’s feat and enjoyed revisiting her classics. However, TMZ reports the Federal Communications Commission, or the FCC, received several complaints about the display. Additionally, the outlet reportedly obtained 103 of those complaints and shared a few. One person directly correlated Sam Smith and Kim Petra’s highly controversial Grammy performance to Rihanna’s set.
The FCC Complaints Are Unhinged
“I don’t care what someone worships but children shouldn’t be exposed to pornography and as an adult I don’t wish to see it,” one person reportedly said. “Where has decency gone? How about respect for others and self?” Many critics were off-out by the “overtly sexual dancing.” Considering Rihanna barely moved, and her dancers were trying to keep from falling off platforms, things could have been more explicit.
“This year the halftime show was so indecent I had to turn off the TV because of the pornographic content,” another person stated. These sorts of complaints aren’t anything new; each year, thousands of people fire off messages to the FCC about the Super Bowl halftime show. Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and others have been the subject of similar takes after their presentations.
Just ahead of her halftime performance, Rihanna discussed how she was hyper-focused on Super Bowl. “I totally forgot that my birthday is coming up, I totally forgot about Valentine’s Day,” she admitted. “I am just like Super Bowl, Super Bowl, Super Bowl. It’s a lot of preparation, a lot of moving parts. This is the week that it really is being tested. Everyone, we’re just tightening up everything.
She also said, “Everybody is dialing in, everybody is tuning up, and a lot of moving parts. I mean, it’s literally like three to four hundred people breaking the stage down and building it back up and getting it out in eight minutes. It’s incredible.”
Conway The Machine Joins Juicy J And Sauce Walka For “Super Bowl”: Listen
The Super Bowl may have already occurred, but Conway The Machine relives the unmatched energy of the event in his new song “Super Bowl.” Featuring Juicy J and Sauce Walka, this track lusts after the life of big ballers while recounting the highs felt after winning a nationally-acclaimed tournament. All three rappers bring an unapologetic grit to the track that results in an upbeat anthem.
Conway, who recently announced his upcoming third studio album Won’t He Do It, is known for placing his soulful bars over soothing beats. His 2022 project God Don’t Make Mistakes deep dived into the 41-year-old’s outstanding capabilities as a lyricist, and featured T.I., Rick Ross, and Benny The Butcher. The release of “Super Bowl” also follows the rapper’s news of a confirmed docuseries created by his label, Drumwork, marking another exciting step in Conway’s career.
Conway Drops “Super Bowl” Ahead Of Upcoming Album
While “Super Bowl” may differ from Conway’s previous projects by its overtly upbeat nature, the track serves as a celebration of wins for the New York rapper. In the chorus, he describes “feelin’ like I won the AFC.” Both Juicy and Sauce allude to the same winning mentality in their verses, reflecting on the successes of their individual careers. In November, the “Bandz Make Her Dance” rapper dropped Crypto Business, a collaborative album with Lex Luger and Trap-A-Holics. Sauce, despite alleged affiliation with the ongoing RICO case, ended the year with three mixtapes: Al Rage Walka, Sauce Beach Florida, and Sauce Ghetto Gospel 3.
In all, “Super Bowl” marks a collaborative effort to depict the incomparable highs of success and big wins. The track is currently available to stream on all platforms, so be sure to check it out and let us know what you think in the comments down below. Like always, be sure to keep in touch with HNHH for the latest news on all things hip-hop.
Quotable Lyrics:

I’ma take all of it, I take all it, I’ma take off, I’m finna blast (Yeah)
Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Drew FCC Complaints Accusing Her of Being Too Sexual
Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Was Apparently Porn-Like, According To Some Of The 103 FFC Complaints It Received
Like the passage of time and Pusha T dropping a Cocaine Bear remix, FCC (Federal Communications Commission) complaints about major TV events are an inevitability. So, it turns out that some people out there didn’t particularly care for Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show earlier this month, so much so that they let the FCC know about it (as TMZ reports).
The publication notes that of the 103 FCC complaints made about the Super Bowl broadcast on February 12, “almost all of them” were about Rihanna’s performance. One viewer wrote in their complaint, “This year the halftime show was so indecent I had to turn off the TV because of the pornographic content.” Another compared it to Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy” performance at the 2023 Grammys, writing, “I don’t care what someone worships but children shouldn’t be exposed to pornography and as an adult I don’t wish to see it. […] Where has decency gone? How about respect for others and self?”
Others made note of “overtly sexual dancing” in the performance, with one person saying Rihanna’s background dancers had moves that “were patently offensive and completely inappropriate for children.” Another person noted of Rihanna, “She spread her ass cheek at the crack. She rubbed her pants where her labia were three times.”
As TMZ notes, though, this is nothing to the infamous Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowl, which drew 540,000 complaints at the time.

Rihanna’s birthday celebration comes before a second dose of motherhood. Last week, Rihanna hit the pages of British Vogue, and she killed every single one of those pictures. Fresh off her Super Bowl performance, Rihanna’s story highlights what her journey into motherhood is like, summarizing it as a “headf**k.”
“You don’t sleep. At all,” Rihanna said. “Not even if you wanted to.”
She added, “Man, you’re a zombie for the most part. You’re just going through the motions, and even then you’re so paranoid.”
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have yet to reveal their son’s name. He was born in May 2022, and the delivery was an intimate affair.
“It was just us as parents and our baby,” Rihanna said.. “You’re like, ‘They trusted us to come home with this baby? This new life? With us? No doctors, no nurses, we’re just … going home?’”
Rihanna didn’t know that she was pregnant again during the interview, but she mentioned she was open to more children.
