Not everyone enjoyed Beyoncé’s Christmas Day halftime performance.
All eyes were on the 43-year-old superstar as she took the field at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas on Wednesday as the Texans took on the Boston Ravens.
Shining in a white body suit and cowgirl hat, Beyonce gave many hits with Post Malone and Shaboozie from his “Cowboy Carter” album — but when he did a special move, the audience at home lost their cool.
While singing “Texas Hold’em”, the singer raised her right hand and made a controversial gun gesture with two fingers. At the same time, a banner with the word “Bang” behind Beyoncé was released.
The National Football League banned the gesture, resulting in a 15-yard penalty for any offensive player, Per Daily Mail,
The combination enraged viewers, who expressed their complaints on social media.
“Is the @NFL going to fine @Beyonce for finger gun?”. an angry audience shared on x (formerly Twitter).
“I was thinking the same thing!! How many players were fined for this?” Another X user replied.
“Where’s the flag on Beyonce for the finger gun?!?!” posted third“Still not sold on Beyoncé as a country artist. Still looks like a pop star wearing a cowboy hat. “It’s also ridiculous that the league is fining players left and right for finger guns and she’s throwing them around like it’s her job,” added a fourth.
The Post has contacted the NFL for comment.
Many questioned whether the 32-time Grammy winner would be fined for her actions; However, her husband, Jay-Z, has deep ties to the football community.
The NFL partnered with its record label, Roc Nation, in 2019, agreeing that the company would be the league’s “live music entertainment strategist” and stuck to it In view of his scam.
Jay-Z was not present to watch his wife’s nearly 13-minute performance Allegation of rape of 13 year old girl With Sean “Diddy” Combs at a party after the Video Music Awards in 2000.
It is important to note that Jay-Z has not been charged in connection with the lawsuit and he has denied the allegations, calling them “heinous” and a “blackmail attempt.” his lawyer said some harsh words too About this increasing number of anomalies Which have come to light since the case was filed.
While Jay-Z wasn’t at Beyoncé’s Christmas Day performance, her eldest child, Blue Ivy, 12, stole the show when she came out and danced with her famous mom.
