Rihanna Didn’t Know She Was Pregnant When She Agreed To Super Bowl : Report

Rihanna opened up about her decision to accept a performance at the 2023 Super Bowl in the new issue of Vogue UK. After previously turning down the decision to stand in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick, RiRi had a change of heart in the fall of 2022, when she decided to take the offer. “There’s still a lot of mending to be done in my eyes,” she admitted to the mag. “But it’s powerful to break those doors and have representation at such a high, high level and consistent level.”

Rihanna also pointed out that her Super Bowl performance would be the second in a row that “represented the Urban community globally,” following Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Eminem’s 2022 set. When she accepted this offer this time, she had also recently become a mom to a Black son. “Raising a young Black man is one of the scariest responsibilities in life,” she shared. “You’re like, ‘What am I leaving my kids to? This is the planet they’re going to be living on?’ All of those things really start to hit differently.”
