Rihanna’s Super Bowl performance surely didn’t disappoint, though some felt a type of way about her inclusion of Kanye West’s “All Of The Lights.” But beyond that, she came through with an incredible set that celebrated her catalog. It marked her first performance in years and she did it without any notable musical guests as there have been in previous years. However, prior to the performance, she had fans believing that some of her fellow superstar peers would join her on stage. “I'm thinking about bringing someone, I'm not sure. We'll see,” she said at the time.
The person she brought out was not any of her fellow artists. Rihanna revealed that she was pregnant with her second child during the Super Bowl performance. She flaunted her pregnant belly, which first, sparked speculation that she was expecting her second child with A$AP Rocky. Fans continued to wonder whether or not she was actually performing at the Super Bowl while pregnant but a rep later confirmed the news to Rolling Stone. It was undoubtedly shocking to many, especially those who’d hoped that the rumors of a tour were true.
Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Expecting Their Second Child
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s family continues to expand as the Bajan singer confirmed the news of her pregnancy. The couple welcomed their first child together last May, who Rihanna stated inspired her decision to perform at the Super Bowl. “When you become a mom, there’s just something that happens that makes you feel like you could take on the world. You could do anything. The Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world,” she said last week. “It’s important for me to do this this year, it’s important for representation. It’s important for my son.”
Twitter undoubtedly had plenty of reactions to the news of Rihanna’s pregnancy. Some were undoubtedly happy for her while others, like Boosie, were disappointed for various reasons. One reason, in particular, was the fact that Rihanna likely won’t be releasing a new album in the near future. Others simply expressed their jealousy of A$AP Rocky for having another baby with Rih. At this point, it’s unclear when Rihanna is expecting to give birth but we could imagine that it will undoubtedly impact any future music or touring plans.
