Tina Knowles has jumped to her daughter’s defense after Beyoncé was criticized by online trolls for her Christmas Day halftime show.
The 70-year-old called out the “obsessed” haters who slated Beyoncé’s performance during the Baltimore Ravens game against the Houston Texans, which the latter won 31-2.
Tina reposted an image on Instagram of a fan’s reaction to the haters of Beyoncé’s performance, agreeing with their statement that “no matter how undeniably talented you are, people will always, ALWAYS, always have some negative ish to say”.
The post added: “The amount of hatred, and trolling this woman can receive for a FLAWLESS FREAKING PERFORMANCE is unreal to me. Moral of the story is do you. If Beyoncé ain’t worried about the haters, you shouldn’t be worried either. Go be great.”
Tina then shared her own thoughts on the negative attention her daughter’s performance has received, responding: “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.
“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. Said with love.”
Tina concluded: “PS I have learned so much from her warrior spirit, of when they go low I work harder ‘No weapon formed against me shall prosper’ one, two, three waiting for the fake bots to come’.”

A third added: “She was phenomenal! She lit up the half time. Anyone who says otherwise is crazy, but people are crazy! This is true. Someone will find anything to say good or bad but truth is truth!”

As she gathered in the center of the field with her backup dancers, her daughter Blue Ivy, joined her for a line dance.

Blue Ivy is certainly no stranger to the spotlight, and during her mom’s Renaissance tour last year, she joined her on stage for several tour stops and showed off her impressive dance moves.

“Serving power, grace, and unstoppable energy,” one commented on social media. Another said: “She absolutely killed it! Greatest performer of all time!!”
