“I don’t understand why anyone would spend their precious Christmas day watching a performance by someone they hate,” said Knowles.
On December 25, Beyoncé performed during halftime of the NFL Christmas game in her hometown of Houston, Texas. Here she performed songs from her album COWBOY CARTER live for the first time. While many fans and media praised her gig, there was still criticism from some – regarding her country approach, her singing, her outfit. Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, then shared a clear message to all the haters out there.
Tina Knowles shares fan opinion
“Regardless of whether you like Beyoncé’s music or not, it’s proof and motivation that no matter how undeniably talented you are, people will always, ALWAYS, always have something negative to say,” one read in part Comment from a fan. Knowles shared this post on her Instagram account on December 28th.
The 70-year-old wrote in the caption: “Repost: Exactly my opinion! It’s beyond my comprehension that you would waste your precious Christmas day watching a performance by someone you hate and think has no talent so you can talk about it later.”
“No weapon formed against you will do any good.”
“Obviously you’re so obsessed with them, addicted to them and secretly admiring them, wishing you could be them, that you can’t help but watch and criticize and comment and say stupid, ridiculous stuff that makes you like makes her look like a joke,” the Texan continued in her post.
Mom’s recommendation: “So when it’s halftime, switch to a different channel and watch silly cartoons or Bozo the Clown or something you can relate to and see yourself in. Said with love.”
To conclude her announcement, the fashion designer concluded her words with a Bible verse from Isaiah: “I have learned so much from her fighting spirit, when things go downhill, I work harder: ‘No weapon formed against you will do any good ‘ – one, two, three and wait for the fake bots to come.”
