Post Malone Thanks Beyoncé & Tina Knowles Comes to Her Defense
Post Malone has taken to social media to express his gratitude towards Beyoncé for having him perform at her NFL halftime show, which took place on Christmas Day. The rapper expressed his heartfelt appreciation for the opportunity, stating that he is “thankful” and “grateful” to have been a part of the momentous event.
“I want to thank you @Beyonce so much for havin me out in Houston, and on your beautiful record,” Malone wrote in his Instagram post. “Also, thank you for sharing your talent and art with the world. I love you.”
Following Post Malone’s kind words, Beyoncé’s mom Tina Knowles-Lawson jumped into the comments section to defend her daughter’s halftime show performance. In a passionate response, she clapped back at the haters, calling out those who have been criticizing Queen Bey’s show.
“It is mind-boggling to me that you would take your precious Christmas day and watch a performance of someone you hate and don’t think has talent so that you can later criticize it,” Knowles-Lawson wrote. “I’m just saying, if you didn’t like it, then maybe you shouldn’t have watched.”
Knowles-Lawson’s statement sparked a firestorm of support for Beyoncé on social media, with fans and fellow celebrities alike rallying around the singer-songwriter.
The intense backlash against Beyoncé’s performance has been a topic of discussion among music enthusiasts and critics. Some have taken issue with her decision to premiere her new album during the halftime show, citing it as an “aggressive” marketing ploy. Others have criticized the show’s overall production quality and visual effects.
However, it seems that Post Malone, at least, is not one of those detractors. His heartfelt message of gratitude towards Beyoncé has further solidified his stance as a strong supporter of her work and dedication to the music industry.
