Rihanna sends a positive message to Patrick Mahomes after Brandon Marshall’s prank

Rihanna sent Patrick Mahomes some words of affirmation on Thursday, after the quarterback was recently pranked by former NFL star Brandon Marshall.

The Umbrella hitmaker, 34 – who’s set to perform at the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show – caught up with Marshall, 38, after he recently left Mahomes, 27, embarrassed when he fooled him into thinking that he was her favorite quarterback.

‘I am so sorry you went through that [Patrick]. I still think you’re great. [Brandon’s] a hater!’ the songstress said in a new clip shared by Marshall to his Instagram.

The video began with Marshall explaining the hilarious prank to Rihanna, who chuckled as she listened.

‘Patrick Mahomes, I pranked him yesterday. And I said Rihanna said that you’re the greatest quarterback ever. He blushed. He smiled. And then at the end I was like, bro I’m lying.’
