In less than a month, Super Bowl LVIII will be upon us, gracing sports fans with a game between two of the best teams the NFL has to offer. Some people may not be as excited for the actual matchup as they are for the always popular halftime show, though. This year’s game will see Rihanna take center stage and headline the event for the first time. Many have been talking about the performance, including ESPN host Stephen A. Smith. But now, the journalist is apologizing for a "horrific" mistake after his social media team posted a video of the chat.

Stephen A. Smith recently appeared on "Sherri," where the titular talk show host mentioned that the Barbadian singer – whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty – would be performing at this year’s show. Smith stated that he wasn't unexcited for the show but said, among other things, that the singer "ain't Beyoncé."
