It's that time of day again, ladies and gentlemen; it's time to see which celebrity is the latest to be accused of "worshipping the devil" and today's victim is none other than this year's Super Bowl performer, Rihanna.

Now, we've seen a few notable singers be accused of worshipping Lucifer or selling their souls to the devil or just being involved in demonic rituals, so much so that it seems to have become a trend online.

Madonna, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, and Cardi B have all been criticized for releasing provocative music videos throughout their careers and it has earned them a new - and slightly concerning - claim that they're worshipping the devil.

More recently, we saw evidence of this during the 65th installment of the Grammy Awards when some people decided that Sam Smith and Kim Petras were also "worshipping the devil" during their performance of 'Unholy.'

Thanks to some quality pyrotechnics and red latex, the pair were branded as "devil worshippers" online, with some even going as far as branding the performance as "evil."

Since then, it seems as though anyone who chooses to wear red or stick their tongue out in a performance immediately joins an elite demon squad - the newest member being Rihanna.

The 34-year-old Barbadian singer became a hot talking point online after her 13-minute performance at this year's Super Bowl. While some fans were loving the content of her performance, others were left contemplating the meaning behind the vision.

Conservative author Brigitte Gabriel took to Twitter to slam the 'We Found Love' singer for the "demonic" vibes she portrayed at the halftime show.

"Why do all the major live performances by woke artists have a demonic feeling? Sam Smith, now Rihanna, Hollyweird has gone insane," she tweeted.

But it wasn't long before RiRi's army came to confront her.

"Does the color red trigger MAGA? There was nothing Satanic about that performance. One of the more mild performances during a Super Bowl I have seen in a while. If this was woke, you need to go back to sleep," wrote one user.

Another chimed in with: "I can imagine your children get dropped off around the corner so they don't have to be seen with you. Just embarrassing."

A third took a hilariously low blow: "That performance wasn't nearly as demonic as your profile pic." (For context, the original poster was also wearing red in her profile photo.)

I mean, if you're going to tweet something against Rihanna like that, you can't be surprised by the reaction, can you?
