Rihanna criticized by Donald Trump by calling Super Bowl performance ‘EPIC FAIL’
Rihanna’s Super Bowl comeback indeed made headlines as she performed her hit songs at the famed Sports event. However, unfortunately, it drew mixed reactions from viewers on Monday morning. And, of course, the former US (Cheeto) President Donald Trump is one of them.
He had the nerve to attack the queen herself and called her 15-minute half-time performance an “epic fail” and the “worst halftime show” in the sporting event’s history.
On Truth Social, his own social media platform, Trump also had a bone to pick with the Umbrella singer’s all-red ensemble. Fyi, icydk, it consists of a figure-hugging bustier that showed her protruding belly and an oversized boiler suit. The Barbados-born singer’s agent later on confirmed what everyone had been speculating on at the start of the show — that she is pregnant with her second angel.
Nevertheless, of course, being the entitled person that he is, the so-called politician who had the nerve to call Rihanna’s Super Bowl an “epic fail” without looking at his own administration, criticized the performance.
“EPIC FAIL: Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst halftime show in Super Bowl history. This after insulting far more than half of our nation, which is already in serious DECLINE, with her foul and insulting language. Also so much for her ‘stylist!’”

In August 2020, US media reported that Trump attacked Rihanna on the same platform. He shared the post of Texas congressman Ronny Jackson.
The said congressman shockingly and offensively stated that the Grammy-winning singer shouldn’t be allowed by the National Football League to perform at the Super Bowl because she was “spewing degenerate filth.”
Trump agreed, writing that “Without her ‘stylist’ she’d be NOTHING. Bad everything, and NO TALENT!”
Though the Fenty makeup company founder did not then respond to Trump or Jackson, she was known to be a critic of the former President. She had once called “the most mentally ill human being in America” in an interview with Vogue magazine. On her social media accounts, she also hit Trump for his policies on gun control and immigration.
In addition, Rihanna famously posed for photos in front of a spray-painted art installation. It read “Fuck Trump” and then posted the same on social media.
