Too hot to handle? Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show left conservative viewers bitter!
The pop culture icon needs no introduction as the Barbadian singer is an international household name. After dominating the music industry with her record-breaking hits, the 35-year-old is taking over the fashion scene with her brand Fenty.
For years, the world has been begging for new music, and the mother-of-one has finally granted us our wish with an epic comeback. For thirteen amazing minutes, the entertainer wowed the crowd at the 57th NFL show.
However, what many consider to be the event of the year is sexual content to others. Following the “Diamond” singer’s performance, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) received over a hundred complaints from angry viewers.

Angry Viewers Flood FCC With Complaints About Rihanna’s Super Bowl Performance
When it comes to stunning female musicians, the “Rude Boy” singer makes the top list with her undeniable charm. However, being too sexy while pregnant seems like a crime.
Critics didn’t spare the musicians or the backup dancers as they slammed them for their obscene halftime performances. TMZ reported that the FCC, a US government agency responsible for regulating television, received 103 complaints about RiRi’s halftime show.

This viewer, who appears to be new to the Fenty Beauty founder’s content, claims the songs and choreography are highly sexualized and inappropriate for young viewers. A California critic compared the show to Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ Grammy performance, which followed the Hell theme that critics hated.
“I don’t care what someone worships, but children shouldn’t be exposed to pornography, and as an adult, I don’t want to see it,” the individual whined. “Where did the decency go? How about respecting others and yourself?”
An audience from Utah was so offended by the artist’s performance of “Where Have You Been” that they couldn’t bear to watch it. “This year, the halftime show was so raunchy I had to turn off the TV because of the porn,” the conservative commentator wrote.
It is important to note that Rihanna was modestly dressed for the event. Unlike her previous pregnancy outfits, the multi-hyphenate didn’t reveal her baby bump and covered up in an all-red ensemble. The same could be said of her backup dancers, who wore loose all-white outfits.
However, their costumes did not stop critics from finding fault with the choreography and songs they deemed inappropriate. Several complaints stated the dancers made gestures that were “clearly offensive and inappropriate for children.”
Because of her pregnancy, the headliner left most of the choreography to her backup team. However, some of RiRi’s moves offended some viewers. A Florida critic noted that the A-lister “spread** her cheeks in the gap” and “rubbed her pants on her labia three times.”

Despite receiving 103 complaints, Savage x Fenty founders’ Super Bowl LVII performance pales in comparison to Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson’s performance in 2024. After the viral wardrobe incident, the FCC allegedly received 540,000 inquiries.
Grammy Winner Halftime Show Breaks Super Bowl Viewership Ratings History
Since its inception in 1966, the annual NFL event has become one of the most important sporting events in the United States. According to The Blast, the televised game received millions of viewers following its debut and has gathered more fans every year.
In 2010, the Super Bowl passed the 100 million mark; however, the People’s Choice Award winner took the show’s ratings to new heights with her incredible performance. When Rihanna took the stage on Sunday night, an average of 118.7 million viewers watched the event.
These numbers prove that the Barbadian beauty attracts more people to watch her performances than NFL games. The round received 113 million viewers, 5.7 million less than the 35-year-old’s figure. However, the game’s viewership rating topped last year’s mark by % when 112 million people watched the event.
Additionally, the record-breaking Teen Choice Awards winner’s ratings brought in a 15% increase from last year’s halftime performance. An average of 103.4 million people tuned in to watch Dr. Dre performed with several other A-listers.
By the numbers, Rihanna’s halftime show was officially the show’s most watched show. The mother-of-one broke Katy Perry’s 2015 ratings of 114.4 million viewers with her incredible viewing record.
