Stephen A. Smith Issues Apology to Rihanna After Questioning Her Super Bowl Halftime Show Gig, Making Comparisons to Beyonce
20.01.2023 - 21:35 / usmagazine.com
Stephen A. Smith clarified his reaction to Rihanna‘s upcoming Super Bowl halftime gig — and addressed those Beyoncé comparisons.
The sports journalist, 55, originally faced backlash after he weighed in on Rihanna’s planned performance.
“I don’t want to say I’m not excited. She’s fantastic. That’s not where I’m going with this. She’s a lot of things. She’s spectacular,” the New York native said during an appearance on Sherri, which aired on Wednesday, January 18. “There’s one thing she’s not. She ain’t Beyoncé. The only reason I brought up Beyoncé is because Beyoncé recently performed at the Super Bowl. And without Bruno Mars and Coldplay.”
Smith later praised the “Umbrella” singer, 34, on the talk show for her “fantastic” music, adding, “I’m just telling you for me, there’s Beyoncé and there’s everybody else.”
Shortly after clips from the interview went viral, Smith took to social media to issue an apology.
“I’m gonna own it. I know what y’all trying to do. But I’m going to own it because I get paid to speak for a living, so I need to be more careful,” he said in an Instagram video on Wednesday. “I want Rihanna to know: You’re a superstar, you’re sensational, you’re spectacular.

I think that Beyoncé is not only a phenomenal performer, but the phenomenal performer,” he continued. “And the only reason any kind of comparison came into play is because Beyoncé performed at halftime at the Super Bowl not just by herself, but one separate Super Bowl performance with Bruno Mars and Coldplay.

‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance’ & ‘Titanic’ Reissue Having Super Bowl Dance-Off At Box Office – Preview
In both a noble gesture toward exhibition after the studio’s Project Popcorn, and in a means to monetize downstream revenues, Warner Bros is taking what was a HBO Max movie, Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike’s Last Dance, and putting into 1,500 theatrical locations this weekend. That’s with a thrifty marketing spend. It’s the second movie after New Line’s House Party ($8.8M)whereby Warners has reversed engineered a streaming release for the big screen. Meanwhile, Paramount, is building off the heat of James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water, with a 25th anniversary 3D re-issue of the filmmaker’s Oscar winning 1997 title, Titanic. There’s two arguments to be made that either could notch No. 1: Titanic apparently tracking better than the fall re-issue of Avatar ($10.5M opening) with a shot at double digits in 2,400 theaters and the Channing Tatum-Salma Hayek Pinault threequel also having a potential $10M debut with the chance for more heading into Valentine’s Day Tuesday.
