Someone tell RiRi to put on the gloves. Controversial actress and comedian Roseanne Barr just slid into A$AP Rocky's DM with a devilish message. "Call me when you get tired of Rihanna," she wrote to the New York rap star. She captioned an Instagram post about the attempt with "Shooting my shot." Of course, all made in good fun, but it still seemed quite bizarre to many. After all, this is a (literally) canceled actress making a social media play the day of her muse's wife's Super Bowl halftime show. Quite funny, honestly; kind of corny and cringey, but funny nonetheless.
For those of you who don't remember, the 70-year-old comedian faced backlash for a racist comment concerning a member of the Obama administration. Also, she spread various conspiracy theories, insensitive remarks, and aligned herself with far-right figures such as former president Trump. Since her many public statements, apologies, double-downs, and interviews during that time, she went a bit off the radar. However, she announced a comeback comedy special releasing via the Fox Nation streaming subscription service.
Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky recently spoke about how excited he is for Rihanna's halftime performance. We doubt he'll publicly respond to Barr anytime soon. “Oh, man. I’m just as excited as you guys, if not more,” he said to Zane Lowe. “Yeah, I’m super excited. This is huge. This is incredible. I’m so glad that my lady’s back making music again and whatnot, and getting back out there. It’s just incredible. Especially for both of us, it is a good year for both of us to be more active and be out there. But the Super Bowl is huge, and her being the creative she is she going to bring it, man. I’m excited. I’m more excited than everybody else, honestly.”
Also, the 34-year-old shared how fatherhood changed his life. “It’s so unexplainable. It’s just one of those things. I’m a member of our club now, like the dad club. You see a dad, you see me. I’m playing on, I’m a full dad now. Being outside and working and being creative, it drives more energy for you, to obviously, to think and soak things up like a sponge now that I’m a dad, because I have a whole 'nother perspective.” Come back to HNHH for the latest on A$AP Rocky and whether Roseanne gets a reply.
