The upcoming performance will be Rihanna's first in five years. The show will be hosted by rapper Jay-Z. A few years ago, the singer took a break from her artistic career to focus on the development of personal cosmetics and lingerie brands.

Note that Rihanna previously declined an offer to perform during the Super Bowl halftime show because of the league's inappropriate treatment of black football player Colin Kaepernick. He refused to stand for the U.S. national anthem before the 2016 game in protest of police brutality against African-Americans. After that, no team would take him.
