Tetris Kelly:

Everyone needs a loyal friend like Rihanna. The Fenty mogul lent an emphatic stamp of approval to Kendrick Lamar performing at next year’s Super Bowl halftime show. Entertainment Tonight caught up with Rih on Wednesday at her Fenty Puma event in Los Angeles, where she gushed about Kendrick having the chance to hit the Super Bowl stage she previously rocked in 2023.  

Rihanna:

Let’s go… what is there to doubt on that?

Interviewer:

No, it’s going to be amazing, I’m just asking you what you think because you’ve done the Super Bowl before. You have that special insight. 

Rihanna:

It’s a diamond on a ring finger, honey! It’s meant to be! 

Interviewer:

I’m with you. 

Rihanna:

Kendrick Lamar, he deserves it. I cannot wait to see it. … Kendrick, thank you.  

Tetris Kelly:

While there’s been much debate about Kendrick’s selection, Rihanna has no doubt her loyal collaborator is the man for the job. However, artists such as Nicki Minaj, Master P and Cam’ron have blasted the NFL for snubbing Lil Wayne with the Super Bowl being in his hometown of New Orleans. Nicki wrote on X in September: “You can love & respect Kendrick and still love & respect Wayne. Even Kendrick loves & respects Wayne. Every real rapper loves & respects Wayne.” 

RiRi and Lamar teamed up for “Loyalty” on the Compton rapper’s ‘DAMN.’ album in 2017. Perhaps Rihanna will make a surprise return to the Super Bowl stage next year reuniting with Kendrick as a surprise guest.
