If you thought the Super Bowl half-time performance and grand revelation of Rihanna’s second pregnancy broke the internet, think again.

Her interpreter stole the show and left no crumbs as she ate that performance of “Bitch Better Have My Money".

The interpreter was soon identified as Justina Miles, 20, a deaf American Sign Language (ASL) performer.

As the moment of Rihanna’s belly reveal died down, social media was instantly abuzz as videos of Miles filled the time lines.

It was clear to see that Rihanna wanted Miles to have her moment as she kept her performance minimal with not much movement on stage, giving Miles most of the screen time.

Miles also made history, becoming the first female deaf woman to provide ASL interpretation on the “Apple Music Super Bowl” Half-time Show.

Miles also performed on other Rihanna hits including “Umbrella”, and “Only Girl (In the World)”.

As per “People” magazine, Rihanna played up the big reveal in the opening moments of her performance, rubbing her stomach and leaving the zipper of her outfit – a jumpsuit layered over a close-fitting bodysuit and sculpted bandeau – down to reveal her belly.

The Grammy winner and her bae; rapper A$AP Rocky, welcomed their first child in May 2022.
