Trump Drags Rihanna Ahead of Super Bowl Performance: 'Without Her 'Stylist' She'd be NOTHING'
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Former President Donald Trump took the time out of his day on Thursday to throw some shade towards Rihanna head of her highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime show performance on Sunday, The Hill reports.
Taking to his Truth Social account and channeling the energy of a Cardi B or Nicki Minaj stan posting in the comments on a Pop Crave tweet, Trump slammed the pop star by saying: "Without her 'Stylist' she'd be NOTHING. Bad everything, and NO TALENT!"
His comment was in response to a post on the social media platform from Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), who took issue with Rihanna as this year's halftime performer, criticizing her for spray-painting criticism of Trump on a car in Texas back in 2020.
Rihanna's upcoming show marks one of the first time she's performed in recent years. The singer-turned-makeup and fashion mogul hasn't released a new album since "Anti" in 2016. Last year marked the first release of new music from the "S&M" singer when she contributed music for the "Black Panther" sequel soundtrack.
In 2019, Rihanna notoriously boycotted the Super Bowl along with other celebrities in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick.
Speaking of the upcoming event, Rihanna talked about the challenges.
"The setlist was the biggest challenge. That was the hardest, hardest part. Deciding how to maximize 13 minutes but also celebrate – that's what this show is going to be. It's going to be a celebration of my catalog in the best way that we could have put it together," she said.
