DJ Khaled had a sweet message for Rihanna ahead of her Super Bowl halftime show later today (February 12). Moreover, the We The Best mogul spoke to Page Six at Michael Rubin’s Fanatics party at the Arizona Biltmore. While he celebrated Super Bowl weekend along with dozens of A-list stars, he’s more excited for the grand event than anything else. In fact, RiRi and Khaled previously worked on the track “Wild Thoughts” together, which became one of that year’s biggest hits. Before she hits the stage and wows us all, the New Orleans-born hitmaker gave her some encouraging words.
“RiRi, I love you so much,” he expressed. “Congratulations in advance. They changed the name of Super Bowl. It’s called ‘RiRi Super Bowl.’ I’mma have my airhorn ready and I’m going to order me a cheeseburger well done. I’mma sit back, relax, watch the show… come on! It’s Super Bowl!” Also, the publication asked Khaled whether he’d be performing as a special guest. “I’m coming as a fan and Rihanna’s my sister,” he stated, dancing around the inquiry. “I can’t wait to see it. I’m here to support,” he told press present. In addition, he clarified that he’s rooting for the “Diamonds” singer over the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. “We’re all winners,” he said.
Also, he even performed a bit of his song “All I Do Is Win (Remix),” yelling to the crowd “Welcome to Rubinpalooza!” Elsewhere, he chatted with everyone from Odell Beckham Jr. to Kevin Hart. Other attendees at the event included Jay-Z, Drake, Travis Scott, Winnie Harlow, Teyana Taylor, and many more. Before celebrities from all over gathered to celebrate, Rihanna gave a press conference recently about her show.
“We’ve been working on it for a while, and every day it just gets closer and closer to the finished product,” she shared. “It’s a lot of preparation. This is the week that – it really is [about] being tested. Everyone, we’re just tightening up everything, everybody’s dialing in, everybody’s tuning up and [it’s] a lot of moving parts.” Let us know what song you’re looking forward to the most from Rihanna’s show in the comments below.
