Beyoncé‘s mother, Tina Knowles, has responded to critics of her NFL 2024 Christmas game Halftime Show.On Christmas day (December 25), Beyoncé headlined the Halftime Show for the NFL’s Christmas game in her hometown of Houston, Texas, where she performed songs from her 2024 album ‘Cowboy Carter’ live for the first time.Though the performance saw widespread praise, with some fans dubbing it “the best Super Bowl performance of all time and it wasn’t even the Super Bowl”, it’s received its share of criticism, too.Beyoncé’s mother, though, has a message for the haters.

Taking to Instagram yesterday (December 28), Knowles re-shared a fan’s post calling out negative comments on the performance. “Irrespective of whether you like Beyoncé’s music or not, it is PROOF and motivation that no matter how undeniably talented you are, people will always, ALWAYS, always have some negative ish to say,” the fan’s comment read.Knowles then wrote in the caption: “My sentiments exactly!

It is mind-boggling to me that you would take your precious Christmas day and watch a performance of someone you hate and you don’t think has talent so that you can go talk ish about it later.”She continued, “Obviously you are so obsessed with them, addicted to them, and secretly admire them, wish you could be them, that you cannot help but to watch and critique and comment and say dumb ridiculous stuff that makes you look like a joke!!

So go to another channel when it’s halftime watch goofy cartoons or Bozo the clown or something you can relate to and see yourself in.
