Donald Trump has gone in on Rihanna following her spectacular Super Bowl performance on Sunday, branding it the ‘worst ever’.
The problematic former president also took aim at the hitmaker’s appearance and criticised her for using ‘foul’ language.
Writing on his social media site Truth Social, the 76-year-old said: ‘EPIC FAIL: Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst Halftime Show in Super Bowl history.’
He added: ‘This after insulting far more than half of our Nation, which is already in serious DECLINE, with her foul and insulting language. Also, so much for her “Stylist!”’
Trump had also criticised Rihanna, 34, days prior to Sunday’s Super Bowl, saying of the star: ‘Without her “Stylist” she’d be NOTHING.’
According to The Independent, the reality star-turned-politician added: ‘Bad everything, and NO TALENT!’

The paper also points out that Trump’s ‘foul language’ comment was likely in reference to a photo of Rihanna taken in 2020 in which the soon-to-be mum-of-two posed in front of artwork that said: ‘F**k Trump.’
Trump’s initial comments about the Umbrella crooner were in response to remarks made by Texas congressman Ronny Jackson, who wrote: ‘Rihanna spray painted “F*** Donald Trump” on a car at the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo.
‘She’s made a career of spewing degenerate filth while badmouthing America every chance she gets. Why is the NFL showcasing this crap? Rihanna SHOULD NOT be the halftime performer!!’

It seems not many agree with Trump and Jackson, with Rihanna racking up rave reviews for her Super Bowl performance across the board.
After five years away from the stage, everyone’s favourite Barbadian singer proved she’s definitely still got it when she belted out hits on Sunday, leaving views in total awe.
Rihanna – whose last album was Anti, released in 2016 – lit up the stage at Apple Music’s show in Glendale, Arizona, as the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Philadelphia Eagles.

What’s more, the A-lister confirmed she’s expecting her second child while on stage, opening up her red jumpsuit to reveal a noticeable baby bump.
Yeah, we doubt she cares much about what Trump thinks of the show.
