Marshall met Rihanna a day later and told her everything about the prank. What she said next will bring a smile back on the face of Mahomes.

That is so mean. He is mean. Okay. I am so sorry you went through that. I still think you’re great,” Rihanna said, directly addressing the NFL MVP.

Marshall said that there are still good people on the earth. Rihanna agreed but called Marshall a hater.

“He is a hater though,” the popstar said.

Rihanna will perform in the Super Bowl LVII halftime show at the State Farm Stadium on Sunday. Maybe that will be enough motivation for Mahomes to win the second Super Bowl title of his career.
