Fans Notice Rihanna Hand Signal Not Included in Halftime Show Broadcast & Think It's an Illuminati Reference

Rihanna‘s Super Bowl Halftime Show included so many hits, a pregnancy announcement and some Fenty Beauty promo, but fans are focused on a moment that got cut out of the televised feed.

If you somehow missed it, the 34-year-old “Rude Boy” pop icon took the stage during the 2023 Super Bowl on Sunday (February 12) for her first performance in years. The hit-filled setlist went off without a hitch.

However, a video circulating on social media highlighted a gesture Rihanna made when the cameras were focused elsewhere, and some think it was a shoutout to the Illuminati.

Near the end of her set, Rihanna held her hands up over her head, making a diamond with her fingers. A video on TikTok captured the moment and claimed it was “awkward.”

Other users rushed to the comments section with some speculating that the gesture was the Illuminati symbol. However, others clarified that it was very likely the Roc Nation hand sign.

“Roc Nation!!! Or Illuminati who cares,” one commenter wrote, before noting that Rihanna was “so beautiful.”

Another wrote that “they didn’t show us this on the tv” and paired it with a multitude of red flag emojis.

“They didn’t post it on tv for a reason,” another wrote.

Others related the symbol to her decision to dress in all red.

While some users appeared disgruntled by the gesture, others joked about it or were more realistic about what she was doing.

“Y’all don’t worry it’s just jack harlow‘s triangle,” another joked in reference to Jack‘s Doritos commercial.

“That’s the roc nation Diamond hand sign,” someone clarified. “Lebron and everyone managed under rocnation do it. Plus the song was Diamonds lol.”

Can you guess how many people tuned in to watch Rihanna‘s performance? Here’s a hint: More people watched her than the actual Super Bowl game.
