Jennifer Lopez and Shakira were not the only ones who grabbed the headlines after the Super Bowl in Hard Rock Stadium in Miami this weekend. Beyonce and his husband, Jay-Z, too.
The power couple is now in hot water after they were spotted sitting along with daughter Blue Ivy while Demi Lovato is singing the national anthem before the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs game started. The video of Beyonce and Jay-Z was shared online and it quickly garnered mixed public opinion.
"Shame on you for not standing during the national anthem," one wrote on Beyonce's post on Instagram.
The couple's action received a backlash from some netizens as it was known that Jay-Z is a supporter of NFL star Colin Kaepernick. It can be recalled that the football player sparked controversy after he knelt during the national anthem before a game started in 2016 to protest the killings of black Americans in the United States by police officers.
Moreover, the rapper/music producer also recently revealed his partnership with the NFL. In an interview with The New York Times, Jay-Z claimed the partnership with NFL is not a betrayal to Kaepernick. He explained his intention and that is to promote social justice awareness and to bring change to the organization by promoting inclusivity.
Beyonce and Jay-Z have yet to comment on the video of them at the Super Bowl. However, according to People, the A-list couple's action was to continue Kaepernick's legacy to raise awareness of racism and police brutality.
Meanwhile, aside from remaining seated for the national anthem, Beyonce has been accused of being a diva even in her own home. Life & Style claimed the fame has gotten on Lemonade hitmaker's head and she is now refusing to open doors for herself, even when she is at her own home. A source told the tabloid that Bey hired a personal doorman, who can follow her round the clock.
"If she gets to the door too quickly, beating her doorman to the punch, she stops and waits, annoyed, as he tries to catch up to her," the source claimed.
Gossip Cop laughed off the report, saying it was the most ridiculous claim about the pop superstar. The site noted that it is hard to believe that Beyonce would want or need a doorman 24/7 even when she is at home.
The outlet added that the "Run The World" singer usually has someone who opens the door for her when she is out in public places. Gossip Cop, however, that those are Bey's bodyguards and not her doorman.
