Rihanna is poised to take over the music scene again next year following her highly-awaited performance at the 2023 Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Performance Show.
Last September, the NFL, Apple Music, and Rihanna surprised everyone with a shocking announcement of the singer's comeback to music - with a career-spanning medley of hits on the NFL stage.
Meanwhile, aside from her performance, people are also anticipating who her guest performer will be. Traditionally, the headliner picks out their guest performer to accompany them on their performance. Usually, its those with who they had collaborated or sang a song together before.
Backtracking Riri's discography, the list is quite short - with Nicki Minaj and SZA being the only female artists on the bill, along with a bunch of male artists, including the ever-controversial Kanye West, Drake, Eminem, and even Neyo, among many others.
However, when TMZ got a hold of the "S&M" hitmaker as she was leaving the Bristol Farms in Los Angeles yesterday, Rihanna finally broke her silence on the Super Bowl show.
Rihanna initially told off the reporter for being sneaky, but the slew of paparazzi proceeded to ask the singer about her preparations for the show, to which she almost did not respond fully.
"I'm nervous, but I'm excited!" she said almost in a faint voice.
But when asked about who's going to be the special guest that she is gonna bring up, Rihanna had only two words.
"Maybe, girl," Rihanna answered if it was going to be his boyfriend, ASAP Rocky, who would be joining her at the performance.
The publication previously reported that a list of over 50 names is already in the process of selection to be her guest performer/s on the Super Bowl Halftime show. Mostly her collaborators like Kanye West, Paul McCartney, Drake, and Neyo came into the mix. But the insider particularly noted that it might be coming from her previous collaborators.
With that, rumors that Nicki Minaj, who recently had her MTV Video Vanguard Award like Rihanna, have been reported. Barbz has been recently noticing the two's rekindled friendship when Ri and ASAP posed with Nicki Minaj, Kenneth "Zoo" Petty, and their son, Baby Bear, in a surprise carousel of photos last 2021 during the couple's visit to the new family.
However, as of this writing, nothing has been confirmed yet on who Rihanna's guest performer on the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime show will be.
