In the past, many artists have had special guests join them. Roc Nation has a part in organizing the halftime show and is also Rihanna's management company. Rapper Jay-Z, the head of Roc Nation, played an integral part in discovering Rihanna. After she auditioned in front of Jay-Z, he said, "I knew she would be a star." In the NFL's announcement, they included a quote from Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter. "Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn," he said. "A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment." Seth Dudowsky, NFL head of music, called Rihanna a "once in a generation artist" and a "cultural force." "Rihanna is an incredible recording artist who is a favorite for many millions of Apple Music customers around the world," said Oliver Schusser, Apple's vice president of Apple Music and Beats.

Apple is now the sponsor of the halftime show, replacing Pepsi, the longtime sponsor. Since being discovered, Rihanna has won nine Grammy Awards, created her own makeup line and fashion label as well. Rihanna's return to music has been one of the biggest events of 2022. Not only because of 'Lift me up', her theme song for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but also because of her upcoming performance at the Super Bowl 2023. It is a comeback that comes after six years without releasing new songs and that has delighted his millions of fans around the world, including fellow singer Karol G. The Colombian artist is one of the most popular artists on the planet today (37 million monthly listeners on Spotify), something she shares with Rihanna, who despite six years out of the industry, is still very popular today. However, the Medell�n native has not forgotten where she comes from and after RiRi's return, she wanted to leave a message of love and admiration for the woman who has always been her great inspiration. "Rihanna, I love you! I hope one day I can say it to you in person! There is no person in the world who inspires me more than you," wrote Karol G on social media. As all the fans of the Barbados singer know, Friday saw the release of her new song 'Lift me up' for the next Marvel Studios movie, a song that will most likely have a music video, as we have seen on Rihanna's social networks. In an enigmatic 30-second video, Rihanna appears on a beach at sunset, in fabulous shots that are immersed with others taken from 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever'. The song now has over 1.5 million views on YouTube in just seven hours. |
