by

Cardi B and Offset have shared a line of merch inspired by their recent Super Bowl commercial for McDonald’s. The line features t-shirts, hoodies, shorts, and beanies. Keeping with the Valentine’s Day theme of the advertisement, the collection comes in mainly reds and pinks, including shirts that read “nice buns,” as well as “the Cardi B & Offset meal,” and more. The pieces are priced between $38 and $68. “Forever [heart emjoi] Day Drip #ValentinesDay,” Offset captioned a post sharing the collection on Twitter.

In addition to the commercial and the clothing line, Cardi B & Offset also got their own meal at McDonald’s. The option comes with a cheeseburger, Quarter Pounder with cheese, barbecue sauce, large fries, an apple pie, a large Hi-C, and a large Coke.

After sharing the merch, Cardi confirmed that she and Offset have more content coming soon: “Got sooo much love from my hubby last night and on top of that we’re getting sooo much love and support on our McDonald’s meal, all of this really got my heart full. More merch and content coming out soon …Love yall.” She also wrote of their Valentine’s Day plans, “My baby did soo good yesterday……….Gave him that Henny neck 3000!”

“I think we’ve been to McDonald’s 200 million times,” Cardi told Billboard of why she and Offset were interested in the partnership with McDonald’s. She added that the couple has “different taste palates” when it comes to their McDonald’s order. “That’s the thing about McDonald’s is that we both eat it. I might suggest a different restaurant and if we get to the restaurant and the menu’s a little weird and Offset doesn’t like the food, he just looks at me.”

Cardi B and Offset weren’t the only faces in hip-hop to pop up during the big game. Jack Harlow also was featured in an advertisement for Doritos, along with Missy Elliot. Diddy also worked with UberEats for a commercial in which he makes a hit song for the company. Check out Cardi B and Offset’s appearance in the McDonald’s Super Bowl commercial below.

Nicki Minaj Reacts To Rihanna’s Son & Super Bowl Performance

by

Nicki Minaj congratulated Rihanna on her “new bundle of joy” and for killing it during her halftime show for Super Bowl LVII in a comment on Instagram. Minaj was responding to Rihanna’s post labeling her baby “fine,” for which she received backlash from fans.

“My son so fine! Idc idc idc! How crazy both of my babies were in these photos and mommy had no clue. thank you so much @edward_enninful and @inezandvinoodh for celebrating us as a family!” Rihanna captioned the photo of herself with her song. Minaj commented in response: “a lil pretty boy already. Congratulations on the new bundle of joy, Queen. Bodied Super Bowl.”

Rihanna’s Post

Rihanna reflected on the birth of her son during an interview with British Vogue after her Super Bowl performance. She gave birth to the child back in May 2022. “Man, you’re a zombie for the most part,” she said of the first few months. “You’re just going through the motions and even then you’re so paranoid. Because 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?” Despite the worries, Rihanna says that she and A$AP Rocky didn’t opt to hire a nanny. Instead, they handled all of the parenting duties themselves.

She added: “It’s everything. You really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever. You literally try to remember it – and there are photos of my life before – but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don’t identify with it because you don’t even allow yourself mentally to get that far, because…. Because it doesn’t matter.”

Minaj welcomed her own son, who she refers to publically as “Papa Bear,” in September 2020. Minaj has been married to Kenneth Petty since 2019. Similar to Rihanna, Minaj spoke about feeling more anxious when she first gave birth to Papa Bear. “I hate that I have more anxiety now because you’re like, ‘What if the one time I leave my child, I get that phone call?” she told E! News at the time. “I think moms feel like they have to be perfect.”

Shaq Defends Rihanna’s Super Bowl Performance Against Critics: “Shut It Up”

by

As the Super Bowl celebrations continue for the Kansas City Chiefs, Rihanna’s halftime performance is still being discussed. The singer floated through several fan-favorite classics during her 14-minute show, but it wasn’t her music that stole attention. Ri used her huge NFL opportunity to reveal her second pregnancy, although she didn’t detail how far along she is just yet. The performance was praised by the singer’s fans, and highlights have flooded social media. However, not everyone was impressed, and Shaq didn’t want to hear another peep from critics.

“I want to say this,” Shaq began during a recent interview. “All you people disrespecting my Rihanna, shut your face. Shut it up. Like, we livin’ in a world where people got too much freedom. Keep you **** to yourself. She did a wonderful job, she’s pregnant, she blessed it, she did her thang. She didn’t fall. Just leave it there.”

He continued: “All you superstars that’s disrespectful and causing beef, shut your face. Shut it up.” Shaq added that if Ri was his lady and he heard about celebrities shading the singer, he would check them. The NBA icon said, “Rappers, presidential candidates, I would have to get at you. Leave this woman alone. Rihanna is Rihanna. I was there, it was beautiful. She did a great job. I didn’t know she was pregnant until she bust out, but leave her alone.”

Shaq’s comments circulated on the heels of WWE icon Bill Goldberg expressing his disappointment with Rihanna’s performance. “I thought Rihanna was frickin’ horrible,” he said during the CarCast podcast this week. “I was disgusted by it. That’s all. Let’s just say that. I thought it was horrible.” It seems Goldberg had an issue with Rihanna’s genital wiping gesture during the show.

Regardless of critics, the halftime display’s viewership outnumbered that of the Super Bowl itself. It marked Rihanna’s return to the stage following a seven-year absence, and it opened up possibilities for an album release and potential tour. Check out Shaq defending Rihanna above.

Here’s How Rihanna’s Levitating Backup Dancers Rehearsed For The Super Bowl Halftime Show

Rihanna’s Super Bowl LVII halftime show performance still has the world talking (including radio pundit Howard Stern). Whether the public is raving about her pregnancy reveal, the clothes she wore (inspired by the late fashion icon André Leon Talley), the high-energy ASL performer that translated for her, or making memes about her floating set design, the “Work” singer is a trending topic across the internet — not just Spotify’s music charts.

Now, the Oscar nominee’s featured background dancers during Super Bowl LVII are providing fans with a behind-the-scenes look at how they prepared for the elaborate moving set design. One dancer by the name of Siah Helise, took to social media to share raw rehearsal footage with a lengthy caption outlining her personal journal as a dancer as well as how she and others were prepped for Rihanna’s set.

“Week one, I was learning these steps on the ground, and the next week I was told I would be dancing 60 ft in the motherf*cking air on a platform,” wrote the dancer, adding, “This footage is super rough this is one of the first couple of days of being on the platforms. This ish was NOT easy.” Ultimately, Helise was unable to perform at the Super Bowl due to COVID, but she wanted viewers of the big game to know how much work went into the 13-minute mini-concert.

Helise wasn’t the only performer sharing clips. The choreographer Parris Goebel, who’s worked with Rihanna in the past for her annual Fenty Fashion Show, also uploaded clips of rehearsal, thanking Rihanna for tapping her once again for such a major career milestone.

The Kansas City Chief players may not have been banned from watching Rihanna’s set live, but they now have both the full performance clip and behind-the-scenes teasers to look back on.

Rihanna Didn’t Call Katy Perry, Friend And Fellow Super Bowl Halftime Show Performer, For Advice (Which Perry Understands)

by

Rihanna is of course fresh off performing the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Just a few years ago, though, it was Katy Perry’s turn in the NFL spotlight, when she put on a memorable Super Bowl performance of her own (never forget Left Shark) in 2015. Rihanna and Perry are friends, but despite having a former Super Bowl halftime performer at her disposal, Rihanna opted not to seek advice about the big show from Perry (which Perry totally gets, by the way).

Perry and Lionel Richie were on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night (February 16) to promote American Idol. During the interview, Kimmel asked Perry if Rihanna called her before the Super Bowl looking for some halftime show insight, and Perry said, “She don’t need no pointers: she’s Rihanna!”

The host then wondered if Perry knew about Rihanna’s pregnancy beforehand. She noted that she was filming American Idol in Hawaii on the day of the Super Bowl, and that she had to go to set right when Rihanna was about to start her performance. She continued, “So we were trying to drag our feet, because we all want to see Rihanna play the Super Bowl. We actually had to film and then it happened and we came back, and we found a cut of it, and no, we all saw it then for the first time then, and it was amazing! It was so beautiful.”

Michael Irvin’s Alleged Misconduct Case Gets An Update

by

Michael Irvin has been in the news as of late due to misconduct allegations that were levied against him. Overall, the entire story has been very confusing for a number of reasons. Firstly, the name of the person who filed the complaint is unknown. Moreover, it has not been made official as to what their actual complaint is. All of the reporting around this claims that Irvin allegedly engaged in “misconduct.” These were allegations made by the Phoenix Marriott to the NFL directly. Subsequently, Irvin was stripped of his duties as a correspondent for the Super Bowl.

Irvin is currently in the midst of suing the Marriott for $100 million. He feels as though they have ruined his reputation with these allegations. Furthermore, he maintains that he had an interaction with an employee in the lobby of the hotel, although it didn’t go further than that. Irvin says they exchanged a few pleasantries and from there, he simply went up to his hotel room. With that being said, there are still plenty of questions left unanswered here.

Now, according to TMZ, Irvin is getting a big win in court. A judge has now told the Marriott that they must provide video footage of the alleged interaction. The hotel reportedly has just three days to get these clips into Irvin’s legal team. Levi McCathern, Irvin’s lawyer, sees this as a huge win that will ultimately prove Irvin’s innocence. The wins do not stop there as the judge believes the accuser’s name must be revealed. Additionally, the NFL employees who were made aware of the complaints will also have to be identified.

This is a developing story that is still being figured out as we speak. There are still plenty of details that are missing, and we will be sure to bring you the latest updates when they arrive. Having said that, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world. Additionally, let us know what you think of this situation, in the comments below.

Patrick Mahomes Almost Gave Away The Lombardi Trophy

by

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are world champions yet again. Just a few days ago, the Chiefs went out and won the Super Bowl, against all odds. Overall, it was a phenomenal championship game that fans were more than excited about. As underdogs, the Chiefs were being told that the Eagles were simply too good. Moreover, with the Eagles up by 10 at halftime, it became clear that the Chiefs were in tough. That is when Patrick Mahomes took over and played one of the best halves of football in his entire career.

This past week, the Chiefs got to celebrate their epic Super Bowl win with a parade in Kansas City. Thousands upon thousands of fans joined the team in the streets for what was an amazing celebration. All of the players were getting drunk and interacting with the fans who supported the team all year long. Moreover, there was an incredible speech at the end that included the Chiefs’ best players. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and many others got to talk and it was an amazing time.

Patrick Mahomes Faded

As for Mahomes, he was definitely one of the more faded players at the parade. This is completely understandable when you realize how he was the Super Bowl MVP and had a lot to be excited about. In the clip above, however, Mahomes almost completely gave away the Lombardi trophy. As you can see, he poses for a picture with a fan and then gives that fan the hardware. He then walks away before the video cuts off. Simply put, he forgot the most important trophy of all. Eventually, someone from the team came and got it, which meant a disaster was avoided.

Overall, it seems like the Chiefs have been having a great time following their big win. They are a team that has the potential to win many more Super Bowls, and it is a safe bet that they do. Hopefully, Mahomes makes sure to avoid the mistake he almost made on Wednesday. Be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.
