The Super Bowl LVII was a spectacle to behold! In the end, the Kansas City Chiefs won a close-fought battle to clinch that elusive title. That being said, the Super Bowl isn’t a normal sporting event. It has captured the imagination of many fans across the globe. However, in the United States, Football is like religion. Naturally, you can imagine, how much of a big deal this game would’ve been. After the first two quarters, it was time for that storied half-time show. And while Rihanna gave us the fireworks on stage, things were heating up on Twitter between two bona fide American racing superstars!

Graham Rahal, the son of 1986 Indy500 winner Bobby Rahal, wasn’t too pleased about the whole grand affair Rihanna was trying to put up for the fans during the half-time presentation. Rather, he was pretty eager to see what the last two quarters held in store for the fate of the Chiefs and the Eagles. He took to his Twitter account to make his feelings known. He tweeted, “Rihanna not even singing. But made millions. Let’s get to the 3rd.” It turns out though that you don’t bad mouth Rihanna on Pato O’Ward’s watch!

As soon as Rahal posted to his Twitter, O’Ward fired back. He took to his Twitter account to defend the 34-year-old singer. He wrote, “Dude! She is pregnant. Give her a break. Thats one of the best half times shows in a loooong time. Don’t be hatin on ma girl RI RI.”
