One of the most exciting things about this year's Super Bowl is Rihanna's performance. The nine-time Grammy award-winning singer will make her stage comeback after six years of halt.
Before the singer sets the Super Bowl stage on fire, Rihanna is getting a shout-out from her friend and long-time collaborator DJ Khaled.

While interacting with the fans, Kheled wrote that he’s ''rootingfor Rihanna over the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. We’re all winners.“
Rihanna will take the stage four years after she refused to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show in protest over race issues. However, now Rihanna has said that she uses her performance to represent immigrants and black women.
''That's a big part of why this is important for me to do this show: representation. Representing immigrants. Representing black women everywhere. That's key for people to see the possibilities, ''she said.
Rihanna added, ''It's a long way from home, right? It's a beautiful journey that I'm on. I could have never guessed that I would have made it here, so it's a celebration of that. I'm really excited to have Barbados on the Super Bowl stage.''
The nine-time Grammy award-winning singer will perform during the interval of Sunday's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles on February 12.
