Will Rihanna’s partner A$AP Rocky make an appearance?
Personally, I expect A$AP Rocky to go wild during Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show.
The couple supported each other in each other’s careers before they even got involved in a romantic relationship, while Rihanna appeared in A$APs’ music video for “DMB” in 2022.
Riri also appeared in A$AP’s video for her single “Fashion Killa” in 2013.
Check out a timeline of their relationship, from friends to soul mates!
