Donald Trump has hit out at Rihanna's 13-minute career-spanning Super Bowl halftime show, calling it an "EPIC FAIL" and the worst halftime show "in Super Bowl history".

Last night Rihanna returned to the stage for the first time in seven years for the Super Bowl LVII halftime show, and performed a jam-packed 13-minute show that featured a medley made up of 12 hits from her back catalogue. She opened the performance "Bitch Better Have My Money", and ended it with "Diamonds", and also revealed she is pregnant with her second child.

Former US president Donald Trump, who was criticised often by Rihanna during his presidency, has since hit out at the star on Twitter, calling her performance an "EPIC FAIL". He wrote, "Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst Halftime Show in Super Bowl history - This after insulting far more than half of our Nation, which is already in serious DECLINE, with her foul and insulting language. Also, so much for her "Stylist!"

Trump also attacked Rihanna on Twitter earlier in the week, claiming she'd be "nothing" without her stylist, and saying she has "no talent".

Rihanna's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever song "Lift Me Up" is up for Best Original Song at this year's Oscars, which takes place on 12 March.
