  • Rihanna is pregnant again, rep says after Super Bowl show

    By PTI

    ARIZONA:  Rihanna was pregnant with her second child as she performed her Super Bowl halftime show Sunday.

    The singer’s representative confirmed the pregnancy shortly after she ended her 13-minute set at Super Bowl 57.

    She hovered high at times as she performed a number of hits including “We Found Love,” “Diamonds” and “Work” during a halftime break between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

    The baby bump that was visible in the tight clothes she wore under her baggy red jumpsuit set off a wave of social media speculation that she might be pregnant again.

    Rihanna, 34, has a nine-month-old son with rapper A$AP Rocky.

    During her media preview Thursday, Rihanna said she was initially unsure about taking on the challenge of performing during a time when she was three months postpartum and wondered “should I be making major decisions like this right now? I might regret this.”

    “But when you become a mom, there’s something that just happens where you feel like you can take on the world, you can do anything,” Rihanna said.

    “The Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages of the world. As scary as that was because I hadn’t been on stage in seven years, there’s something exhilarating about the challenge of it all”.

    Rihanna said had to figure out how to fit some of her biggest songs into her 13-minute set.

    “The setlist was the biggest challenge,” she said.

    “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 catalogue in the best way that we could have put it together.”

    A nine-time Grammy Award-winner, Rihanna has 14 No.1 Billboard Hot 100 hits, including “We Found Love”, “Work,” “Umbrella” and “Disturbia”.

  • Rihanna’s boyfriend A$AP Rocky charged with assault over 2021 shooting

    By ANI

    WASHINGTON: Rihanna’s boyfriend A$AP Rocky has been charged with assault and weapons charges in connection with a November altercation with a former friend in Los Angeles.

    On Monday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon announced the decision against the rapper, The Hollywood Reporter reported. The Manhattan native, born Rakim Mayers, was slapped with two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm with allegations of personally using a firearm, according to prosecutors.

    “Discharging a gun in a public place is a serious offense that could have ended with tragic consequences not only for the person targeted but also for innocent bystanders visiting Hollywood,” Gascon said in a news release.

    “My office conducted a thorough review of the evidence in this case and determined that the addition of a special firearm allegation was warranted.”

    Rocky was detained in connection with an investigation by the LAPD into a non-fatal shooting in Hollywood on Nov. 6 and released on a USD 550,000 bond. An argument escalated between the rapper and his acquaintance, leading to Rocky allegedly firing a semi-automatic handgun.

    At the time of the arrest, Rocky was in the process of returning to Los Angeles on a private plane after a vacation in Barbados with Rihanna, according to reports by NBC News and TMZ.

    In 2019, Rocky was arrested and charged with assault in Sweden, with prosecutors alleging that the victim was punched, kicked and attacked with a bottle. He spent nearly five weeks behind bars before being released, though he was later found guilty.
