Armed with a brigade of his top hits, the GRAMMY winner (born Abel Tesfaye) delivered a showstopping performance chock full of jaw-dropping surprises that had viewers just as hyped about his showing as the historic game itself.
As commentary from fans, critics, and even celebrities continues to flow in, the latter is making headlines for the praise they’re showering on Tesfaye.
Tuck in to see what some of your favorites had to say about the Super Bowl Halftime Show:

Flavorless! Like Trashy BISH 💯🤳🏽
He did what he was suppose to do. People has gotten so used to female pop stars dancing half naked on this stage that when there’s anything else but a$$ shaking it’s boring or flavorless. Bye. The Weeknd isn’t a dancer, what was y’all expecting? He gave us everything he is an artist…theatrics, visuals, art and good music.
All he sings about is a$$… and drugs. Then missing the girl whose heart he broke when he’s on a comedown from all the a$$ and drugs. Make it make sense.
The peformance was boring
So basically he spend all that 7M on those mummy dancersssssssss. Maybe he should’ve spending at least 1M to hire some dancing instructors to teach him some dance moves 💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿 He was standing in the football field like a scarecrow 🚹🚹🚹
He spent it all on drugs 🤣💯🤳🏽
That’s only 4 people lol
And Dionne is the only one who commented on the actual performance. 😂 No one was talking about this.
Trashy BISH was the only one 🤣 She made several dry ass comments on the last post. She trashy as hell y’all 🤣💯🤳🏽
No Queen Latifah/Equalizer post? I thought it was worth watching/pretty entertaining. I’ll continue to watch/dvr it…there are slim pickings on tv imo. I hope the show makes it, just read an article saying she is only the fifth black female drama lead on major networks.
S*** was boring asf
Sewer queen is always wrong and over…obsessed, ugly, FAT LIP heffas NEVER WIN 😂
H*** you can’t even win your own username. SCREAMING! 🤣🤣🤣
And what does Trashy ever win? 🤣💯🤳🏽
Nancy CLOWN wins awards for being the biggest loser CLOWN in history 🤡🏆🤡
Hunnie, you literally LOVE my username ✅ 😂 I don’t see ANYONE copying yours, FACTS 🤳🏽 The fact you’re even talking about it shows how obsessed you are! 💯 Stay in your damn sewer and STFU! 🤣
You are the real problem! Please go away and no one wants your attention seeking ass in here. TGJ please ban this self absorbed b****. Your Self love is toxic!
Nancy CLOWN is your name now fool, deal with it and move on.
Ms. Ling Ling, Sewer Queen and Mariwench are ALL the same person! 💯 Don’t even be fooled! Ms. Ling Ling, don’t you EVER bring your ugly, pressed, busted ass to my comment box! 😂 You’re just jealous! I’m not reasoning with your insecure ass any longer! 🤣 TGJ staff knows I’m right! They see this bullshiiit lol
Of course, Dionne Warwick Is going to praise the weeknd after her sister Dee Dee Warwick had sexually molested Whitney Houston and her brother Gary, when Whitney was “at a young age” and Gary was between seven and nine years old, while Dee Dee Warwick was in her mid to late 20s. What the F does she know.
The shade. Only 5 celebrities hehe
That was as Demonic performance if I ever saw one!! I’m sorry if those who consider people like me who are in tuned with our spiritual side & have spiritual discernment & can SEE evil for what it is. I picked up on all the strange anomalies played out in that sick performance down to the guys wearing what looked like jock straps on their faces, to the Hexagon on the stage, to the SATAN light sign that was so conveniently unlit at the end of the word! I’m only praying for the rest of America to Wake up to the fact that we have been seduced by satanic spirits used in our Music industry, as well as Pervywood’s movies and the gaming industry as well. Sometimes the truth hurts to hear. But we have been asleep far to long to these disgusting rituals going on right beneath our noses!! Wake up America & World. We are in a Spiritual War right now, and they don’t want you awake!!!
No more soy boys, no more THOTS! Only legends that will rock!
