Beyoncé's Mom Fires Back at Halftime Show Critics

Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles, has stepped up to defend her daughter after some people criticized her recent halftime show. The show, part of the Houston Texans-Baltimore Ravens game, was streamed live on Netflix and reached over 27 million viewers. Tina shared a fan's post on Instagram, pointing out that critics seem to be quite interested in what they claim to hate. She suggested that these critics might secretly admire Beyoncé. Beyoncé performed songs from her new country album, Cowboy Carter, during the halftime show. She was joined by Shaboozey, Post Malone, and her daughter Blue Ivy Carter. The performance is now available on Netflix as a stand-alone special called Beyoncé Bowl. It’s worth noting that Beyoncé's husband, Jay-Z, was not part of the family performance. Earlier, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell had spoken about the league's partnership with Roc Nation, despite Jay-Z facing recent rape allegations. Goodell mentioned that the league was aware of the allegations but that their partnership would continue as planned, including preparations for the next Super Bowl.
