HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIHANNA!!!!
At halftime, the lights inside Staples Center went dark as video screens dazzled with water drops to introduce the sizzling star, Rihanna, emerged to sing a medley of her hits starting with “Umbrella.” RiRi shimmered in a short black skirt and a rhinestone halter to sing a medley of other hits that included "Only Girl (In the World)" and “Rude Boy.”
Rihanna then launched into “What’s My Name,” and that’s when Drake to surprised the crowd by stepping up from below the stage and working "happy birthday" into the lyrics. But the real surprise came when a red-clad Kanye West came out for "All of the Lights," which is off his latest album but features Rihanna.
