No belly has received as much fame as Rihanna Last year. Of course, initially on the celebrity planet, it was a fact that a star from Barbados was his mate. A$AP Rocky and shortly thereafter, they’re expecting their first child, as we learned from a photo of Rihanna showing off her bulging belly like the other Madonna on the cover of Like A Prayer, well, this time last year.

And since then, first the belly enters the room and then Rihanna – literally and figuratively. Cover of Vogue, public appearances in clothes that always emphasized her status (hint: interesting). While her fans knew that the famous #R9 (namely, her long-awaited ninth album from 2016) is getting weaker and weaker, the pregnancy was observed almost live. Something that was fueled with such constancy by the star herself that her pregnancy from a pure state of joy more and more turned into an instrument of her public image (wasn’t it from the beginning?).

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their first child a few months ago and then she adopted her fourth child. Savage X Fenty show even featuring Johnny Depp as a guest (!), but he also sang two songs (“Pick Me Up”, “Born Again”) for its soundtrack Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Something that made Rihanna Fleet speculate that this record might be closer than we think.

This was helped by the news that Rihanna will take over the role of the famous show this year. super bowl break -so famous and long-awaited that he made her Cara Delevingne wear in the stands of the state farm stadium in Arizona t-shirt with slogan: “Rihanna concert interrupted by football game, strange but what to do”. (For reference, the Philadelphia Eagles-Kansas City Chiefs finished 35-38.)

Riri’s fans have spent the last 24 hours leading up to her Sunday 12/2 performance betting on which songs will and won’t be in her nearly 15-minute medley, and whether this will be her big chance to give us a taste of new music. The only thing the 34-year-old man “confirmed” was how she is thinking of bringing a special guest with her.

Actually, it was a guest we hadn’t seen yet. Rihanna found herself “flying” in the middle of the stadium in a red bodysuit, and as she rubbed her belly like Beyoncé once did at the MTV VMAs, viewers rubbed their eyes. As his management later confirmed, Rihanna is expecting her second child.

And somewhere here the evening surprises ended. Rihanna’s set includes 12 of her most famous songs from “Umbrella” before “Bitch you better take my money” And “Job”, but not any news that would increase the interest of those who are waiting for #R9, like the Second Coming.

The show was limited to floating platforms, which brought Rihanna and an “army” of dancers in white, who did not stop moving in a frantic mood. But, on the one hand, the star’s limited kinesiology presence in the stadium was combined with the fact that she missed notes here and there (in “We Found Love”), as well as the fact that she removed the microphone at moments at the end of phrases. (we know (these performances consist of pre-recorded vocals, no underlining required) they created the effect of fatigue.

And if we accept that such things happen in live performances, even on this scale, then it was also the small details that agreed on the reliable conclusion that Rihanna was in the Super Bowl Final just to shore up her brand a little. and music and spectacle were merely a means and an occasion. Because we all know that in the coming months, wherever we scroll, we will see gorgeous Rihanna showing off her belly appear in the headlines of glossy news, but also as her instant position on freshen up her makeup on the set of Super Bowl, she wasn’t “innocent” when it comes to the woman who became a billionaire thanks to her cosmetic line. Fenty.

Of course, we have to admit that at the level of stardom, it takes strong talent (and a very good cast) to present yourself as a singer, even if you don’t take a breath between records and hits and manage to be at the forefront of news perhaps more than ever, the moment we speak, you are really there in musical inactivity for seven years.

Maybe we just need to digest it: Rihanna first and foremost a stellar entrepreneur who makes the most of his recognition to be and remain successful. Whether he sells songs, underwear or lipstick is of secondary importance. Rihanna’s product itself is sometimes her belly.
