Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show received just 103 complaints out of 113 million viewers despite drawing the ire of former president Donald Trump.
Less than one in a million viewers, therefore, lodged a complaint with the FCC (the US equivalent of Ofcom) – a figure that pales in comparison to other halftime shows over the years.
On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump branded the “Umbrella” singer’s performance an “epic fail”.
He wrote: “Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst Halftime Show in Super Bowl history – 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!’”
The Barbadian star has made her feelings known for Trump in the past, posing in front of graffiti that read “f*** Trump” in an Instagram post shared while the Republican was vying for a second term in office.

The 65th Grammy Awards take place on Sunday 5 February, with music fans preparing for the rematch of the century: Adele vs Beyoncé.
Both artists are up for Album of the Year, six years after Adele took home the top prize for her third record, 25. The win over Beyoncé’s critically adored surprise album Lemonade was highly controversial; Adele herself famously declared that Beyoncé deserved the prize during her acceptance speech.
This year, the British singer is competing with her record-obliterating fourth album, 30, released in 2021. A four-star review in The Independent praised the songs as “handsomely crafted ballads about love and its various agonies”, with Adele’s voice, as ever, the main draw. “Adele possesses that perfectly imperfect voice, gargantuan and frail all at once,” critic Annabel Nugent wrote. “It’s epic without resorting to showy, melismatic affectations. It yawns into unexpected shapes and makes intonation fun.”
Beyoncé, meanwhile, surprised fans...
