She co-wrote and recorded the song as a tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who starred in the original 2018 “Black Panther” before his death from colon cancer two years later. The original song nomination was one of five for “Wakanda Forever,” which won best costume design.
Rihanna, 35, revealed her second pregnancy last month during her Super Bowl halftime performance. She welcomed a son nine months ago with her partner, Harlem-born rapper A$AP Rocky.
