Rihanna is just days away from taking center stage at the Super Bowl, but Donald Trump has made it clear that he won’t be watching her comeback performance.
On Thursday (February 9), the former president joined a conservative Texas congressman in bemoaning RiRi’s forthcoming Apple Music Halftime Show performance, with claims that she is talentless and has taken every opportunity to bad mouth the United States.
“Rihanna spray painted “F*** Donald Trump” on a car at the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo,” Republican House Representative Ronny Jackson posted on Truth Social. “She’s made a career of spewing degenerate filth while badmouthing America every chance she gets. Why is the NFL showcasing this crap? Rihanna SHOULD NOT be the halftime performer!!”
Trump proceeded to “ReTruth” — or quote and share — the post, adding his own two cents: “Without her ‘Stylist’ she’d be NOTHING. Bad everything, and NO TALENT!”
Contrary to Donald Trump’s opinion, Rihanna’s run leading up to Super Bowl LVII has seen her showcase not only her musical talent, but her business acumen as well.
Since the NFL and Apple Music announced that she would be headlining the Halftime Show for her first performance in just over six years, the industry has been speculating about what Rihanna’s post-Super Bowl career will shape up to be.
Immediately following the announcement, rumors of new music and a possible world tour started making the rounds. So far, however, the singer has only delivered two new tracks, both featured on the Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.
The project’s lead single, “Lift Me Up,” has since earned Rihanna her first Oscar nomination, as well as a Golden Globe nod, both in the Best Original Song category. As far as new music of her own, Rihanna first acknowledged the chatter about her seven year hiatus with a tongue-in-cheek trailer for her performance, released on January 13.
The video, dubbed “Rihanna Is Back,” began with audio of fans, reporters and radio hosts counting the days since the release of her last album — 2,190 to be precise — while impatiently clamoring for her comeback.
Eventually, Rihanna — wearing a furry yellow jacket, silver jewelry and an elaborate braided hairstyle — stepped out of the shadows and into a spotlight, immediately quelling the noise. She then brought her finger to her lips and hushes the audience.
The trailer fittingly ended with a brief snippet of “Needed Me,” from the singer’s last studio effort, 2016’s ANTI, which recently returned to the Billboard 200, extending its already impressive run on the chart to 352 total weeks.
On Thursday, Rihanna offered some insight into her upcoming releases during an Apple Music press conference ahead of the Big Game on Sunday (February 12), sharing that her main priority right now is “to have fun.”
“Musically, I’m feeling open,” Rihanna said. “I’m feeling open to exploring, discovering, creating, things that are new, things that are different, things that are off, weird, might not ever make sense to my fans, you know, the people that know the music that I put out. I just want to play. I want to have fun. I want to have fun with music.”
Though it’s unclear how long after the highly anticipated performance fans will have to wait for new music by Rihanna, she is reportedly working on a documentary about the performance, a music insider told The Sun in November.
“She will be recorded during rehearsals and meetings in the lead-up to the big night and give an insight into what her life is really like now she is returning to pop as a mum,” the source reportedly said. “Rihanna is a massive force to be reckoned with when it comes to music and so Apple has paid millions.”
The source added that Rih signed “a huge deal with Apple” for the documentary to appear on Apple TV+, but nothing has been confirmed by her camp just yet.
In the meantime, Rihanna’s Fenty and Savage X Fenty brands have both released Super Bowl LVII themed capsules.
The Fenty x Mitchell & Ness collection supports “diversity, equality and freedom,” and features nine unisex pieces that include oversized, long-sleeve shirts, regular tees, and hoodies available in black or white. The collection also features a swanky coaches jacket in black that includes an NFL and Super Bowl LVII patch embroidered on the front and football and Fenty U.S.A. on the back.
The Savage X Fenty “Game Day” collection, on the other hand, features 17 different pieces including hoodies, sweatpants, varsity jerseys, tops, hats, beanies, boxers and a bandana. The drop is inspired by the color of an actual football, and RiRi modeled several items on Savage X Fenty’s Instagram page.

Let’s Go Chiefs !!!
trump is such a bully. What kind of person comes after a young woman about her looks. What would he look like without his orange 🍊 face and dyed blonde hair. What would his foreign wives and daughters look like without their stylists. Tiffany needs a new stylist 🤡
You don’t have to like her music it’s the super bowl entertainment, you don’t have to view it. Look how Texas rep wants to talk about disrespect. Democrat or republican should show respect for the POTUS, but Taylor Greene heckling at the president state of the union. Pathetic. Not one republican respects the president. But trump and his racist fan base spun nothing but LIES and hate. Loved by KKK and white supremacists!!!
hey “taylor” aka intern for some dem. you wanna call out KKK? try joe biden. seriously GOOGLE YOUR FUCKING SAVIOR JOE BIDEN KKK. then i want you to google joe biden 1994 crime bill. you know the one where hilary clinton called you SUPER PREDATORS. you are nothing but money to them. LIKE LBJ SAY WE WILL HAVE THE NIGGERS VOTING FOR US FOR 100 YEARS. go ahead and look that one up to. im sure kyle the pole smoke will ban me but its ok. ill be back. like they said in a good few men…. YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH.
THIS MY FRIENDS. THIS IS THE BOT. OPEN YOUR FUCKING MIND ONCE. you think 1 side is capable of evil but you NEVER think the other side is. FOURTY FUCKING SEVEN CHROMOSOMES. WHITE BLACK YOU ARE ALL RETARDED. if you dont think the left was capable, and let me be CLEAR, CAPABLE, of coercing a fake “coup” of the capital you are so naive. these people are more powerful, ON BOTH SIDES, than your pea brain could imagine. now go ahead and call me a racist or w/e you want. i got my piece off. all i can say is think about it for once in your life instead of just being democrats.
Wow, this Russian bot got really mad
Lol, disrespect? This only was aid because Rhianna spray painted “Fuck Trump” at thay caddilac burial art thing in… arizona? Or texas I believe?
Trump is right. Rihanna is a brainless trashcan for deaf radio listeners. Just like the 99 percent of pop and rnb. Now I get back to my Tribe Called Quest.
But yet here we are waiting to see her slay at the Super Bowl, while your mom is yelling at you to come get your incest kid that you put her upon for the past few weeks, while you shotgun moonshine like your brethren booty first.talking about “this is how we do it over here” lol. Loser.
Jay z pedo sidepiece is how she got her start. She can’t dance nor sing unlike Beyonce. All Rihanna is is looks and even that for a Caribbean girl she is ehh. For tons of Puerto Rican, Dominican, Cuban Trinidadian girls run laps around her look wise. Trump might fall off the same tree as Kanye and kyrie Irving but he telling the truth here. Rather seen Justin Bieber drake and em add in bad bunny or Ozuna for a feat
White people are the most triggered losers. Face it Jay-Z is better than Em. Rihanna is not only talented, but a bigger draw over whatever underage girl that pedo Trump undoubtedly prefers
ABSOLUTELY!!!!! whenever a white person is murdered white people riot in the streets right? ANIMALS! jay-z is a pedophile. he was a FENQUENT visitor of a certain island. BLACK KANGS AND QWEENS!
Wait.. Kang from the new Ant Man movie? Is it good?
Eh. Only one group of people in America than can go from 0 to 100 in an instant if a white person calls them a single word lol. Nobody else worldwide will react like an animals from a single word. It’s quite amusing to see that.
Let’s go! (Shine bright like a diamond!)
We love Rhianna’s music, Fenty, Savage Fenty.
♥️🙏🏾
It’s suspiciously funny to me how HHDX allows this “person” to spew hate while banning and censoring any and all posts with minor constructive criticism about the industry, particular artists, etc. This site has one of the most toxic comment sections around and it’s mostly because of a couple accounts. HHDX, it’s a bad look!
Exactly it’s weird. I don’t understand why they let that guy keep posting. He’s obviously a cult member and nothing you say or post could change his mind about his dear leader.
Lets go Brandon, I agree !
It’s true, Trump is right. She never wrote anything, zero talent. She’s been fucked up the ass by every jewish label exec, that’s why she has a career.
And rich. But yet here you are with a small violin trying to get attention when nobody on this site cares, nor gives af about your bot queef. Go to the corner and bump homie over ho3s while twerking to the crackhead next door to your homeless camp.
hallo
gloria
hallo
hallo
its done
To everyone arguing with each other in the comment section over this…ur all a bunch of simps
Even though Trump’s intentions are to please those inbred rednecks NFL fans, I do find her music to be incredibly annoying.
so why exactly does rihanna spray paint a car like that. look i know bush was terrible and i never supported him. but trump was getting all the boring stuff right before the corona virus came along so i was convinced that the economy was going to recover people even said so themselves when they wouldn’t really want to. the border wall come on democrats were voting for that like forever it is a democracy your politicians are in the senate to vote yay or nay to represent you and govern your country. i think if you are a capitalist and a lot of us are and you want to see capitalism succeed you should be voting trump 2024.
She should’ve spray painted another one to this response like “still eff Donald Trump,” lol But seriously, besides the pettiness, this current admin be killing us.
Im black and I hope Trump comes back for another term, the democrats are a bunch of cry babies….. I’m dead ass serious too
Im black and I hope Trump comes back for another term, the democrats are a bunch of cry babies….. I’m dead ass serious too…. But I disagree with him on the Rhianna thing, she’s very talented
Takes no talent to recognize no talent. They both trash
Let’s Go Chiefs !!!
