Tina Knowles is certain that Beyoncé’s upcoming NFL performance will be running smoothly despite Netflix’s previous live performance complaints. The Knowles matriarch spoke to TMZ this week about Beyoncé’s live Christmas Day performance during halftime for the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens game.
“Everything’s going to be good,” Tina told the outlet. “God is going to be there.”
Tina’s comments follow the backlash Netflix got over their stream of Jake Paul and Mike Tyson’s fight last weekend where fans complained about the quality of the streamer. When Beyoncé was announced as the Halftime performer for the Texans/Ravens game on Dec. 25, fans already “warned” Netflix to not mess up the icon’s performance.
“If Netflix buffers 1 time during Beyonce’s performance..” an X user wrote attaching a clip of Jada Pinkett Smith going into a car saying “We suing.”
“If there’s even one buffer, I say we all cancel our Netflix subscriptions immediately after she’s done,” another fan commented.
Another X user is placing doubts on Netflix’s ability to host a Beyoncé performance.
“All I know is @netflix better get they act together before the Beyoncé halftime show,” another fan warned the streamer.
“Netflix has failed at every live event it’s tried its hand at,” they wrote. What makes them think they can handle a Beyonce show.”
Beyoncé shared the announcement across socials as she is seen in a white cowboy hat and a red white and blue long-sleeve dress on top of a Cadillac covered in roses. The short video is soundtracked by the Cowboy Carter track “Ameriican Requiem.”
