Rihanna pulled focus as Super Bowl 2023 with her highly-anticipated halftime performance — and the announcement of her pregnancy — but some viewers were distracted by one part of the performance many seemed to have missed.
It appeared that during her first time back on stage in seven years, the “Lift Me Up” singer grabbed her crotch and then smelled her hand.
Before the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, the pop icon performed some of her greatest hits, kicking off the set with “Bitch Better Have My Money” followed by a jam-packed setlist with songs including “Work,” “Diamonds,” “Only Girl (In the World),” “We Found Love” and “Pour It Up.”
But as she was singing “Rude Boy,” some fans at home noticed Rihanna doing the bizarre move.
“So is it me or did Rihanna just grab her junk and then smell it and taste it?” one social media watchdog questioned. “Way to stay classy!”
“Did Rihanna just scratch her crotch then smell her fingers?” another shocked viewer asked.
