On motherhood
'As a mom, you can take on the world!'
During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Rihanna spoke about motherhood's impact. She said, "When you become a mom, there's something that just happens where you feel like you could take on the world — you can do anything. And the Super Bowl is one of the biggest [global stages], so as scary as that was ... there's something exhilarating about the challenge."
Super Bowl
What is the Super Bowl all about?
Almost a rage in the United States of America, the Super Bowl refers to the annual final playoff game of the National Football League and has been going strong since 1966! Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, The Black Eyed Peas, Paul McCartney, and The Rolling Stones, among others, are some popular bands and artists who have previously catapulted the entertainment quotient during halftime.
Love story
Take a quick look at Rihanna-A$AP Rocky's love story
Their relationship rumors first started floating in January 2020 and reports began pouring in about them being "inseparable." On Christmas 2020, the two went on a cruise in Barbados, almost putting an official stamp on their relationship. In May 2021, the rapper finally accepted the gravitas of the "rumors" and in an interview with GQ, called her "the love of my life."
