Rihanna recently made a historic comeback as she performed at the Super Bowl Half-Time Show on February 12, 2023, and revealed her second pregnancy with boyfriend ASAP Rocky in front of a global audience of around 200 million.
The singer, who was born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, is known for her electrifying performances and has made a huge impact on the music industry with her chart-topping hits. However, unlike previous years, the Barbadian singer received no payment for her Super Bowl performance.
Super Bowl Half-Time shows have become a highly coveted gig for musicians, and it is customary for artists to perform for free. The show is known to have a massive impact on the artist’s career, with Lady Gaga’s album and single sales increasing by 1,000% after her performance in 2017 and JLo gaining 2.3 million new followers on social media after performing in 2020. Dr. Dre, who was part of the 2022 Super Bowl performance, saw a 183% increase in album sales.
