The former POTUS gets riled up after Texas congressman Ronny Jackson calls on the NFL to remove the Barbadian songstress from the halftime show for 'badmouthing America.'

AceShowbiz - Donald Trump is taking issue with Rihanna ahead of her highly-anticipated Super Bowl halftime show performance. The former president has attacked the Grammy Award-winning artist, calling her "nothing" and claiming she has "no talent."
The 76-year-old got riled up after Texas congressman Ronny Jackson calls on the NFL to remove the Barbadian songstress from the halftime show after "badmouthing America." In his post on Truth Social account, he also pointed out that Rih is anti-Trump.
"Rihanna spray painted 'F*** Donald Trump' on a car at the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas. She's made a career of spewing degenerate filth while badmouthing America every chance she gets," Jackson, who is Trump's former White House doctor, wrote on Friday, February 10. "Why is the NFL showcasing this crap? Rihanna SHOULD NOT be the halftime performer!"
Responding to Jackson's remarks, Trump wrote, "Without her 'Stylist' she'd be NOTHING." He added, "Bad everything, and NO TALENT!"
Trump didn't seem to hate Rihanna that much before as his team used her song "Don't Stop the Music" for a campaign rally during the mid-terms. She, however, sent a cease and desist to prevent them from using her music in the future. She added that she wouldn't be seen at one of the "tragic rallies."
The Fenty Beauty founder has indeed been a vocal critic of the 45th POTUS. She criticized his stance on immigration, sharing a photo of herself holding a T-shirt that read, "Immigrants," around the time he ordered the delay of ICE deportations.
"Wherever I go, except for Barbados, I'm an immigrant," she explained why it's a topic she holds close to her heart. "But I think it's important for people to remember, if you love me, everyone out here is just like me. A million Rihannas out there, getting treated like dirt."
Regardless of Trump's criticism, Rihanna is still scheduled to perform at Super Bowl LVII halftime show on Sunday, February 12.
