Tina Knowles defended her daughter Beyoncé's NFL Christmas Halftime performance after the latter faced criticisms. Tina stated, "Go to another channel when it’s halftime."

Beyoncé recently performed at the NFL Christmas Halftime performance in Houston. It was a game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans.

Tina Knowles, an American entrepreneur and fashion designer, took to Instagram to defend her singer-songwriter daughter, Beyoncé Knowles, by reposting a fan's reaction to the backlash Beyoncé was facing.

In this post, she mocked the people who were criticizing the 43-year-old singer by suggesting if they disliked someone so much, then they should simply change the channel during halftime.

"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!!"

She didn't hold back, as the 70-year-old mother claimed the critics negativity stemmed from their obsession and envy of Beyoncé.

Tina cleverly pokes fun at the critics by advising them to focus their energies elsewhere by saying

"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."

Tina also praised her daughter by saying

"I have learned so much from her warrior spirit, of when they go low I work harder"

She showed support by standing firmly by her daughter, showing the protective and supporting nature of a mother. She also quoted a verse from the Bible: "No weapon formed against me shall prosper."

She concluded by calling out fake accounts as she took a stand against critics.

"one ,two , three waiting for the fake bots to come."

Other celebs also joined Tina in defending Beyoncé's performance:

Beyoncé performed along with other artists, notably Shaboozy and Post Malone, at the NFL Christmas Halftime show. Blue Ivy, Beyoncé's daughter, performed alongside on the hit song 'Texas Hold Em.'

Other actors and artists also came in support of Beyoncé's performance. This included Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Chrisette Michele, Ilana Glazer, and many more. Additionally, Beyoncé's performance received praise for her powerful vocals and energetic dance moves. The support from fellow actors and artists highlighted the impact she has on popular culture.
