The #FentyBowl — more commonly referred to as Super Bowl LVII’s halftime show — went off without a hitch. With Rihanna billed as the featured act, all eyes were on the “Lift Me Up” singer, as she hadn’t taken the stage in nearly seven years. While the Barbarian musician didn’t release any new music, her set was filled with plenty of her beloved past hits, including “Work” and “Pour It Up.” However, during the performance, fans took to social media to call attention to something else.

Fans wondered if the businesswoman mistakenly revealed her speculated second pregnancy. Dressed in a figure-hugging red bodysuit, breastplate cast, and red puffer jacket, after cameras turned to the side, fans noticed what appeared to be a baby bump. Back in May, the singer and her partner, rapper ASAP Rocky, welcomed their first child.

Although it may seem like a quick turnaround for the couple to have a second child on the way, Rocky has expressed just how much he has enjoyed fatherhood on numerous occasions. Without thinking, during her set, the singer went to rub her stomach but quickly moved her hand away as the camera panned.

That small motion was enough of a confirmation, fans needed to get run to social media.

A representative for Rihanna quickly confirmed that she is pregnant with the couple’s second child. Congrats!

Rihanna‘s Super Bowl LVII Halftime performance has come and gone, but we’re still in awe. The “Lift Me Up” singer took the Super Bowl stage to perform a medley of her chart-topping hit songs. Rihanna recently revealed she changed the setlist nearly 39 times before we saw the final product. Ahead of her performance, the Barbadian-bred mogul released a teaser trailer and dropped a limited edition NFL-themed collection with her Savage X Fenty company, only amping up anticipation.

The Grammy winner opened the award show with “B*tch Better Have My Money” while sporting an all-red outfit while suspended high in the air on a platform. Following that, she performed some of her dance-driven hits like “Where Have You Been” and “Only Girl.” She closed out her show with a thrilling performance of “Diamonds” while again suspended in the air.

While she couldn’t squeeze her nearly two-decade career into 13 minutes, fans were more than happy with what they got.

But it doesn’t end there. Ahead of her performance, Rihanna sat down with Apple Music host Nadeska to chat about this new chapter in her life, especially with becoming a new mother. She even hinted that she might be working on new music.

Rihanna noted that she was feeling “open” musically and was interested in “exploring, discovering, and creating things that are new.”

She continued, “Things that are different. Things that are off, weird, might not ever make sense to my fans [or] the people that know the music that I put out. I just wanna play. I wanna have fun. I want to have fun with music.”

Check out Rihanna’s setlist from Super Bowl LVII below.

  1. “B*tch Betta Have My Money”
  2. “Where Have You Been”
  3. “Only Girl In The World”
  4. “We Found Love”
  5. “S&M”
  6. “Rude Boy”
  7. “Work”
  8. “Wild Thoughts”
  9. “Pour It Up”
  10. “All The Lights”
  11. “Run This Town”

Rihanna’s Representative Confirms She’s Pregnant With Her Second Child After The Super Bowl Halftime Show

Rihanna’s Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show performance turned out to be full of surprises but the biggest one was the reveal that she’s pregnant with her and ASAP Rocky’s second child. A representative for the singer confirmed as much to The Hollywood Reporter amidst rampant speculation on Twitter after the performance.

At the beginning of the set, as Rihanna appeared on a floating platform high above the field, she opened her coat during a rendition of “Bitch Better Have My Money” to reveal what looked very much like a baby bump. Of course, the quick turnaround between babies #1 and 2 had many fans flustered over whether she was normalizing postpartum baby weight — a valid cause, to be sure — or boasting a new bundle of joy.

Fortunately, none of us had to wait very long for a confirmation.

Ahead of the show, Rihanna seemingly teased the reveal in an interview with Nate Burleson on NFL+ Friday night. When asked whether she’d have any special guests during the show, she cheekily said, “I’m thinking about bringing someone.” It just turns out the “someone” was not a musical star (yet), but the new addition to Rih and Rocky’s rapidly growing family.

Fans, of course, had a field day with the news — pun intended — although some were distraught that they might not be getting that new album or tour anytime soon.

Kansas City Chiefs Win Super Bowl LVII Against Philadelphia Eagles

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.

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!

Marjorie Taylor Greene Got An Earful About Chris Stapleton’s ‘Wokeness’ After She Slammed The Black National Anthem

The full significance of the Super Bowl opener (with Sheryl Lee Ralph’s “Lift Every Voice and Sing” rendition as well as a Navy flyover featuring an all-female pilot team) was lost upon Marjorie Taylor Greene, who wasn’t aware of country singer Chris Stapleton’s perspectives. The far-right congresswoman’s anti-woke leanings are no secret, given that she worries for the “average white male” (whatever that means). However, Greene slipped up by praising Stapleton but trashing the rest of the opener.

“Chris Stapleton just sang the most beautiful national anthem at the Super Bowl,” Greene tweeted. “But we could have gone without the rest of the wokeness.”

No one is debating Stapleton’s prowess at the mic, which even left Eagles Coach Nick Sirianni in tears. What MTG failed to recognize is that Stapleton is an outspoken supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement, and his presence as part of this ensemble matters a lot. “There’s a very broad awakening that’s come about,” he declared to CBS This Morning after the murder of George Floyd. “It’s time for me to listen. It’s time for other folks to listen.” He then added, “The country that I thought we were living in was a myth.”

Greene’s tweet came back to bite her in the butt, given that she missed the above news when it happened. One user tweeted, “Chris Stapleton is ‘woke’ as f*ck,” and that was only the beginning. Others questioned why she has such a problem with an all-woman team of pilots, but no one ever said that Greene makes sense.

Oh, and here’s a lovely photoshop of George Santos and his Vince Lombardi Trophy. Enjoy the rest of the game.
