Beyonce's NFL halftime performance has been dubbed "Beyonce Bowl," and fans are giving mixed, bordering on fuming reactions. The event took place on Christmas Day in Houston, Texas. While the singer generally got favorable reactions for her performance, netizens have also begun accusing her of pushing her "propaganda."
Some claim Chris Brown did it first with the term "Breezy Bowl" as he made headlines for selling out shows at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, just this December 14 and 15. For the unversed, Brown also goes by the nickname "Breezy." Here's how one user reacted:
"So she copying Chris Brown with the #BreezyBowl to #Beyonce Bowl and now Rihanna with the stage…."
Even more joined the chorus of angry users:
"One of music biggest thieves is at it again with her propaganda. I wonder if beyonce is gonna acknowledge taking Chris Brown's term "#BreezyBowl" after he sold out the 5th largest stadium in the world back to back nights in South Africa on December 14th&15th.....probably NOT," someone tweeted in fumes.
"The only Bowl that matters," another said, accompanied by images of Chris Brown's recent concert.
"She did a great job with that performance, nice to see some of the others Post Malone etc," someone defended Queen Bey.
"Isn't this called the halftime show or whatever. Beyonce bowl doesn't even sound right. Trying to down play what Chris Brown did. Shame on you," a fourth person stated.
The comments didn't end there, though, as Beyonce and Chris Brown fans went head to head in the comments section:
"@netflix shame Breezy Bowl is the best!!!" one user declared.
"What time is the performance. We don’t care abt nothing else," another user jokingly said, defending Queen Bey.
"This is upsetting me, couldn’t they have found a better name instead of copying Chris?" yet another asked.
"BEYONCÉ BOWL OMGGGGGGGGG," one fan defended her.
As "Breezy Bowl" flooded the comments, a growing number of fans also attempted to inundate the platform with a counter strike by commenting "Beyonce Bowl."
Beyonce confuses fans with a date, January 14: Here's all we know
Queen Bey is making headlines once again, not just for her NFL Halftime Show but also for teasing fans with the possibility of her going on tour next year. Just after the singer wrapped up her performance in Houston, which took place during the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game, she took to social media to upload a video of herself waving the American flag while sitting on a horse.
The 15-second clip then ends with a black screen, with the date January 14 strewn across in red lettering. As for the caption, it quotes a bar from her latest song, Sweet Honey Buckiin':
"Look at that horse."
As reported by Page Six, fans immediately took to the comments section to speculate about the same. Despite her publicist affirming that the singer would not be touring in the new year, fans are unconvinced. Some are taking this as a sign, while others posit that she may just drop the final part of her album trilogy.
