A$AP Rocky’s Reaction To Rihanna’s Super Bowl Performance Is Precious: Watch

by

Having a Bad Gal like Rihanna on his arm is an undeniably huge flex for A$AP Rocky, and he doesn’t take it for granted. The pair were friends long before their relationship bloomed into a romantic one. Just last May, they welcomed their first child together. After giving her some time to recover from giving birth the singer’s fans have been steadily demanding new music from her. Instead, she’s having a second baby.

During her legendary Super Bowl Halftime show last night, the 34-year-old quietly broke the news that she’s with child again. It remains unclear how far along she is at this point. Still, her budding bump was proudly on display as she sang. It was previously thought that a guest star may join Rih on stage. Some speculated that it could’ve been her boyfriend, but instead, the New Yorker happily watched on from the audience.

Wearing a custom NFL jacket with his partner’s tattooed hand holding a football displayed on the back, Rocky was showing immense love to the mother of his children. In footage making rounds online, he holds up his phone, like dozens of others around him, smiling while filming the “Diamonds” songstress in all her glory.

After capturing a few clips, the Testing rapper puts his phone in his pocket. This allowed him to fully take in Rihanna’s triumphant return without distractions. Seeing as this was also how she unveiled the couple’s second pregnancy to the world, it’s an equally as exciting moment for him and their family. Rocky is clearly feeling the Fenty founder’s vocals, as he bops along to some of her biggest hits.

Like everyone else in the stadium, the expecting father couldn’t take his eyes off of the Barbadian beauty. As her astounding set comes to an end, he breaks out in cheers and applause, congratulating RiRi as if she was performing for just him. On Twitter, countless users have been talking about the precious moment, praising A$AP for loving his other half so loudly.

“He’s watching his second unborn up there. I’d be happy too,” one person pointed out. Others wrote, “Ladies, get yourself a man who supports you just like this,” and “It’s the cheering at the end for us.” Scroll further for more social media reactions to Rocky and Rihanna’s relationship.

Chris Brown Explains Why He Won’t Be Performing At Super Bowl

by

It looks like Chris Brown believes his past will continue to haunt him. The superstar singer has amassed success that newcomers only dream of. However, some still wrestle with the decisions he has made and how they have affected his present and future. By now, most are familiar with Brown’s greatest personal and professional scandal: physically assaulting Rihanna just ahead of the 2009 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. After photos of the “Umbrella” singer’s injuries were shared, Brown’s career hung in the balance.

Yet, Breezy has bounced back. He’s had several sold-out tours, reached No. 1 on the charts, and his dedicated fanbase supported him at every turn. After Rihanna took to the Super Bowl halftime show as her official return to the stage, Brown was inundated with messages about his ex-girlfriend. He seemingly gave her a positive shout-out and answered a fan’s question about his turn at the big game.

“When are you [performing] at the Super Bowl we need you at the next one!!!” a fan commented under the singer’s post. Brown answered, “Never shawty.. American media AINT FA me. Rather be where I’m welcomed.” This comes months after it was rumored that Brown’s American Music Awards tribute to Michael Jackson was axed at the last minute. It was a performance that was reportedly also set to feature Ciara. Rehearsal footage was later shared on social media.

Meanwhile, Brown’s prior controversy with Rihanna hasn’t been his only hiccup. There have been several lawsuits and allegations of sexual misconduct—and the singer has denied each as they have arisen. In 2017, Brown’s ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran was granted a restraining order after alleging he abused her. Regardless of his past, Brown’s fans have agreed that he should go where he’s appreciated.

Conversations about the singer’s indiscretions have also been brought up during conversations about his legacy. There are those that argue Brown should be referred to as the King of Pop, taking the crown from the late-great Michael Jackson. In these discussions, Breezy has offered words of respect to Jackson while also embracing the accomplishments he’s made throughout his career. Do you think Chris Brown deserves more respect from America? Should he be considered for the Super Bowl halftime show?

Blue Ivy Poses With Lil Uzi Vert

by

Blue Ivy Carter just posed with Lil Uzi Vert at this year’s Super Bowl, which was a wild crossover to see. Of course, it’s not the first time that the “Sauce It Up” star snapped some pictures with the Roc Nation family. Moreover, they appeared at the Roc Nation Brunch last week before the 65th Grammy Awards, rocking a slicked-back hairstyle. By the time they took the Grammys stage to perform “Just Wanna Rock,” however, they returned to their spiky look. Still, it was wholesome to see Uzi hang with Hov and Blue, especially given their home city’s team lost further into the night.

Still, even Jay got in for some pictures, a sight that many old-heads back in 2016 would’ve gagged at. Furthermore, it just goes to show the 27-year-old’s incredible career trajectory and consistently upward trajectory. For example, it hasn’t even been five months since “Just Wanna Rock” dropped and it’s already hailed as a classic. DJ Drama recently said that it’s the new anthem of Philadelphia, overtaking Meek Mill’s iconic “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro).” However, the Eternal Atake MC hesitated to make any calls or disrespect Meek like that.

“I don’t think so,” they expressed humbly. “That song like been around for a very long time, and that song is still hitting exactly the same way. I’m just gonna have to see, you know, in a couple of years or a decade or whatever. [Meek] that’s a big Homie from Philly, and that’s like one of my big homies. So I just like feed off the energy that he gives actually to be able to even produce or put out that type of music. So like, hopefully, like s**t, hopefully. He [Meek] would hope that for me too. Not yet though it’s too early to tell.” 

Moreover, the “Going Bad” rapper had thoughts of his own. “Intro been lighting the world for 10 years!” he claimed via Twitter. “Like shaking rooms for years!” Later, he suggested that the Eagles come out to Uzi, and play him if they win. Meanwhile, Blue Ivy’s probably looking forward to more performances like her guest spot during Beyoncé’s Dubai show. Whether she’s got another show coming, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Uzi, Blue Ivy, and their entourage.

Shannon Sharpe Reveals Who Deserves Credit For Chiefs Super Bowl Win

by

Shannon Sharpe is someone who will always command a ton of respect in the football world. After all, he has a grand total of three Super Bowls to his name. Overall, that is a very solid haul and at the end of the day, he is one of the greatest tight ends ever. Having said that, it should be acknowledged that his opinions ought to be respected. Moreover, he has to work with someone like Skip Bayless, which ultimately makes his job that much harder. He has to deal with a lot, and he does so with class.

Last night was a big night for Sharpe as he got to take in the Super Bowl. The championship game means a lot to him, especially as someone who has won it three times. Furthermore, he had predicted a big game from Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes had that game as he won Super Bowl MVP. Contrarily, Skip Bayless had picked the Philadelphia Eagles to win. Having said that, this win gave Sharpe every opportunity to rub it in Bayless’ face.

Shannon Sharpe Speaks

However, Sharpe decided to talk about the actual game. At one point, he was asked who deserves the credit for the Chiefs’ success last night. The NFL Hall Of Famer made it very clear that the credit belongs to Mahomes. Although Andy Reid called a great game, Sharpe likes that Mahomes can actually execute on the game plan. “We’ve seen coaches diagram great plays and QBs can’t make it happen, but Mahomes makes it happen even when there isn’t a great play,” Sharpe explained. Reid and Mahomes have made an exceptional duo over the last two years, and Sharpe understands that better than anyone.

Subsequently, there is now a lot of debate as to whether or not Mahomes is a top-three quarterback ever. He has only played five seasons, and he is already getting thos considerations. Needless to say, he will one day have a bust in the same room as Shannon Sharpe’s. Let us know what you think of Shannon’s take, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

“I’M IN ❤ NOT BLINDED BY IT. KNOW WHAT I KNOW,” she wrote at the time. “SMOKE DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN 🔥.” Elsewhere, Cher addressed someone who was suspicious of Edwards and his intentions. “As we all know … I WASN’T BORN YESTERDAY,” Cher replied. “What I know for sure, there are no guarantees. Anytime you make a choice, you take a chance. I’ve always taken chances … it’s who I am.”

Where To Buy The Clothes From Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show

by

Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show still has fans buzzing, whether it’s over her ASL interpreter’s awesome accompaniment, her newly-announced second baby’s front-row experience, or her video game-like set design.

Another aspect of the show that’s captured fans’ attention is Rihanna’s wardrobe, which consisted of a bright red coverall with a matching molded breastplate underneath it. Meanwhile, Rihanna could be seen touching up her makeup just before the performance, applying (of course) a little powder from her own Fenty Beauty line.

Obviously, the question on plenty of fans’ minds is, “Where can I get that look?” Well, while much of the ensemble was custom, there’s good news: Most of the pieces are readily available for public consumption — although they aren’t cheap.

Rihanna’s two coats (she changed midway through the performance) were Alaïa originals according to Russh. Meanwhile, the jumpsuit and vinyl bustier were designed by Spanish brand Loewe. Her sneaker, were Maison Margiela X Salomon. The MM6 Cross Low retails for $360, while the Fenty Skin collection (Fenty Skin’s Pre-Show Glow Instant Retexturizing 10% AHA Treatment, Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer with SPF 30, Pro Kiss’r Lip-Loving Scrubstick, and Plush Puddin’ Intensive Recovery Lip Mask) will run a little over $100 according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Sheryl Lee Ralph Doesn’t Care If You Think She Lip-Synced ‘Lift Every Voice And Sing’ At Super Bowl LVII

Sheryl Lee Ralph owns the limelight. The Abbott Elementary standout soaked up her first career Emmy win last fall, accepting flowers from Kid Cudi and another gift from Beyoncé. Ralph didn’t let 2022 before asserting her star power in different way, as she starred in Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty Vol. 4 show.

And so, no, Ralph was not here for anyone trying to dim her light at Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, February 12. She performed “Lift Every Voice And Sing,” the Black national anthem, before the Kansas City Chiefs kicked off against the Philadelphia Eagles at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Ralph was extremely excited to be part of such a historic moment, boosted by the fact that Super Bowl LVII was the first-ever Super Bowl to feature two Black quarterbacks in Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Philly’s Jalen Hurts:

But there were a few haters who speculated that Ralph lip-synced her powerful performance.

“Does it matter? Does it matter? No. Thank you,” Ralph told The Hollywood Reporter in response to the criticism.

She added, “It’s just so amazing that they chose me. And then the Eagles are in the Super Bowl. I mean, come on. You know God must be a woman because all of this is just too perfect.”

Ralph noted to THR that the significance of signing in a Super Bowl in which the Eagles were competing in mattered to her because “Abbott Elementary takes place in Philadelphia. My husband is a senator in Philadelphia. And this year the Eagles [went] to the Super Bowl — I had already been chosen to sing.”

Unfortunately for Ralph and all Philadelphians, the Eagles fell to the Chiefs 38-35.
