Bar stool Sport founder Dave Portnoy was not impressed with Beyoncé’s recent performance. She hosted the halftime show on Christmas Day (December 25) during the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans.
Portnoy, 47, shared his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter). “Beyoncé was LOST by Destinys Child,” he wrote, pointing to the pop star’s former girl group with Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland. The band broke up in 2006.
He also quoted his previous tweet from 2023, where he mentioned believing that Rihanna, 36, is better than Beyoncé, 43. “Not particularly close,” Portnoy wrote at the time.
“Rihanna sings circles around Beyonce and is a billion times hotter. I said it here,” he wrote in another 2013 post.
Portnoy even encouraged fans to call the hotline about their ideas for Beyoncé’s show for an upcoming episode of his Shredding line show.
As expected, Beyoncé fans hit back at Portnoy’s post online. “Lmao don’t talk about Beyonce’s man. Your rating is bad as hell,” wrote one user. Another added: “You’ve had some bad shots. This might be the worst.”
Beyoncé’s halftime show was streamed via Netflix as she performed hits from her 2024 album, Cowboy Carter. The country-themed spectacle featured her riding a horse and dancing on a playground alongside her daughter, 12-year-old Blue Ivy Carter.
There were even a few special guests including Shaboozey, Tanner Adell, Post Malone, Brittney Spencer and more. She then closed the show with “Texas Hold ‘Em” as she rose into the air on the platform.
After taking the stage, Beyoncé teased the major announcement on social media, with more information to be released on January 14, 2025. “Look at that horse,” she commented.
For fans who may have missed Beyoncé’s performance, Netflix has it available to watch on their streaming service under the title Beyoncé Bowl.
