Beyoncé and Rihana's fans went at each other on X, formerly known as Twitter. Bey fans defended and took some jabs at Riri fans by tweeting “Take a break and drink your formula” after a viral tweet insinuated that Beyoncé copied Rihana's 2023 NFL Superbowl halftime performance.
Beyoncé took center stage as she performed during the NFL Christmas halftime show in Houston. A Netflix broadcast of NFL Christmas Gameday where the Baltimore Ravens took on the Houston Texans and defeated them. A game that was overshadowed by Queen Bey's performance.
A fan claimed that Beyoncé copied Rihanna's 2023 Super Bowl halftime set to which fans quickly joined in to defend Queen Bey. The fans defended Beyoncé, claiming that it was Rihana who took inspiration from Beyonce.
This was what a fan tweeted to defend the 32-time Grammy winner:
The user poked fun at how immature Riri's fan was, telling her to take a break and drink her formula. The user also provided a screenshot of an article where the 'Diamonds' singer claimed to study Beyoncé's performance in order to prepare for her show in 2023.
This was that one tweet that enraged The Beyhive community:
With users commenting,
She can never ever be original. Copyonce gon always copy
Oh wow...I'm actually shocked because she's known as such a great performer. I thought she would have something more original.
Rihanna did it better
While the Beehive community had something else to say:
Sorry have you not seen BeyChella? This move was done first, done again, then done better ✅
It’s Parris Goebel. She choreographed both performances
Same choreographer that’s whyyyy
Rihanna Was Inspired By Kanye & Beyonce 🤦♂️
Lol calm down, do you even know who you're talking about?
The Beehive community was quick to defend their Queen as they mentioned that Parris Goebel, who choreographed Bey's show, was also the mastermind behind Rihana's Superbowl performance.
In an interview last year, Rihana stated that she took inspiration from Beyoncé's performances in 2013 and 2016 for the Superbowl Performance on The Process podcast by Nate Burlson.
Beyoncé stole the show at the NFL Christmas halftime show
Beyoncé's performance at the NFL Christmas halftime show was nothing short of spectacular. She performed her top songs from her new album, 'Cowboy Carter' in her hometown Houston. The stadium had horses, Cadillacs with longhorns, and performers in cowboy hats paying tribute to Southern roots.

The Queen entered the stadium on a white horse singing 16 Carriages and then went on to cover The Beatles' Blackbird. Other artists also performed alongside her one of them being Post Malone.
Fans can argue on X as much as they want but what they can't deny is that both Beyoncé and Rihana gave one hell of a performance.
