Kanye West trends on Twitter because of the Superbowl halftime show despite being absent

2 Years in a Row! Kanye West Trends on Superbowl Day Once Again, as Fans Agree on Missing Him at Rihanna’s Halftime Show

Kanye West does not even need to be present at the Superbowl to trend anymore.
The Superbowl XVII’s halftime show set the internet on fire, with Rihanna making
a comeback post-pregnancy. With a grand entrance, the new mother had the stadium
cheering on, as she sang all of her hits throughout the years. While it was a
blazing performance, fans felt that the stage deserved more than her solo.

West has become a topic of sensation due to his controversies, but the singer’s
musical talents are missed despite it all. While Rihanna is trending on Twitter
for her halftime show, Twitterati also wanted and wished for Ye to make his
presence.



Kanye West may be infamous for his controversies, but he kept fans in
anticipation as they hoped he would join Rihanna on stage. Fans on Twitter can’t
help but compare and mention
[https://twitter.com/search?q=kanye%20west%20superbowl&src=typeahead_click] how
West should’ve performed at the show. Riri even included the song ‘All of the
Lights’ on her performance list, a superhit number that was her collaboration
with Ye and Kid Cudi more than a decade ago. While Ye was absent, fans believe
that Rihanna’s red attire and the song choice were made to show support for the
‘Donda’ singer.

FANS MISS KANYE WEST DURING RIHANNA’S PERFORMANCE

Following Rihanna’s powerful performance, fans took to Twitter to express how
much they missed Kanye West’s presence after she sang ‘All of Lights.’ One fan
was upset over the Diamonds singer singing that same song, without having Ye on
the stage. Ye loyalists were in anticipation of his joining the performance but
were let down to know that it wasn’t going to happen. A lot of speculations
surfaced about this year being his first time performing at the event.

Both Rihanna and West have previously refused to perform at the Superbowl
halftime show. Ye refused to perform for not being paid enough. But the singer
is still trending for the second time in a row, although he was present at the
stadium last year.

His children joined the singer as he wore a black mask during the 2022 Superbowl
and trended on the Internet. Beyonce took on the stage that year, singing her
hits. While Ye has never performed, he famously appeared in the Pepsi Superbowl
advertisement.
