It was clear that many people tuned in to watch the Super Bowl game primarily for Rihanna’s halftime performance. And why wouldn’t they? The business mogul and Grammy-winning star was making her live stage debut after a long hiatus from her musical career. Even though her performance attracted a viewership of 118.7 million, it failed to satisfy many people. The audience complained that the ‘Rude Boy’ singer lip-synched for the entire time. And now recently, footage of Rihanna making a controversial gesture made fans even more upset.

Rihanna performance’s had more viewers than the game did. Just 5.7 million fewer people watched the game than Rihanna’s performance, which drew 113 million viewers. And as the saying goes, ‘more people, more problems.’ Many noticed that the 34-year-old artist made the Illuminati sign while at the end of her performance. It stirred a lot of reactions from fans on social media.

What exactly did make fans angry?

The singer performed her greatest hits throughout her musical career. Definitely, it was one of the best Super Bowl halftime performances. But the problem arose when she made a diamond shape with her fingers. The sign stirred a lot of controversy in the past because it is generally associated with a mysterious and powerful group. It only made the matters worse when her gesture was not shown during the live telecast on television.

The Illuminati is a secret society that has powerful members and imposes powerful and political decisions in the world. Rumored members of the society are Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Madonna, Kim Kardashian, etc. Hence, when Rihanna made that sign, fans started speculating if she was making her ties with the group apparent.

This is how fans directed their anger at Rihanna

A fan wrote.

In order to become a part of Illuminati, one needs to sell their soul to the devil. This fan thinks Rihanna did just that.

Seeing these tweets, we can conclude that the fans are heavily believing the conspiracy theories. However, there were also people who believed that she made that sign because she was performing her mega-hit song, ‘Diamond.’
