Rihanna’s Super Bowl performance last year left some Louisiana Republicans less than impressed. Here’s why they’re raising eyebrows at her act.
- Rihanna’s provocative performance at the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show stirred controversy among Louisiana Republicans.
- The GOP in Louisiana is urging the NFL to keep this year’s Super Bowl event ‘family friendly’.
- Past performances by Jennifer Lopez and Janet Jackson are also under scrutiny by the legislators.
- Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming halftime show is eagerly anticipated, though some remain watchful.
Rihanna’s 2023 Super Bowl halftime show did not sit well with Louisiana Republicans. Her performance was deemed ‘lewd’ as she engaged in self-touching and sang lyrics they found too offensive for public consumption.
This outcry isn’t new—Jennifer Lopez and Janet Jackson have also faced similar criticisms for their past performances. Lopez’s suggestive dance moves and Jackson’s notorious wardrobe malfunction were highlighted as concerns.
These lawmakers are urging the NFL to ensure that future performances, including the upcoming one by Kendrick Lamar, avoid any indecent exposure or offensive content.
With Kendrick Lamar set to headline this year’s halftime show, joined by SZA, anticipation is high. Rihanna herself has voiced her excitement, taking pride in Lamar’s opportunity.
Despite the backlash, there’s undeniable excitement over the diverse acts and talents performing at future Super Bowl shows.
As the lights dim on past controversies, all eyes turn to Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming performance.
