Rihanna, Even More Pregnant, Will Sing “Black Panther” Song “Lift Me Up” on Oscars

No surprise: Rihanna will sing on the Oscars.

Even more pregnant than on the Super Bowl, the billionaire pop singer will perform “Lift Me Up” from “Black Panther Wakanda Forever.”

In all likelihood, we also be getting announcements about Lady Gaga, David Byrne, Sofia Carson, and the folks from “RRR.” They’re all nominated for Best Song and they should all turn up for the occasion on March 12th.

Every little bit helps the ratings!
