Post Malone says thank you to Beyoncé as her mother Tina defends her performance. We’re breaking it down. Yes ma’am indeed. Post Malone went online to thank Bey for their NFL Beyoncé Bowl performance, saying:

“thank you @Beyonce so much for havin me out in Houston, and on your beautiful record. also, thank you for sharin your talent and art with the world. I love you”

But not everybody online has been kind about the halftime performance, and Mama Tina Knowles had this to say:

“It is mind-boggling to me that you would take your precious Christmas day and watch a performance of someone you hate and you don’t think has talent so that you can go talk ish about it later. Obviously, you are so obsessed with them, addicted to them, and secretly admire them, wish you could be them.”

One thing we can agree on, yes we are obsessed.

Jay-Z’s request to dismiss his case of allegedly raping a then-13-year-old and revealing his accuser’s identity have been denied by a judge. Keep watching for the details of the case and what the judge said. 

Tetris Kelly:

Jay-Z’s request to dismiss his case as well as to reveal his accuser have been denied. We have the story. The woman who accused Jay-Z & Sean “Diddy” Combs of drugging and raping her when she was 13 years old following an MTV VMA after-party in 2000, can remain anonymous for now. The judge cited the “highly sensitive” nature of her accusations and the Jane Doe’s assertion that she continues to suffer from depression due to the alleged rape, as well as a claim by the woman’s attorneys that Diddy has threatened other alleged victims. The judge plans to revisit the question of anonymity at a later date. Also in the ruling, the judge turned down a request by Jay-Z’s legal team to fast-track a hearing on their motion to dismiss the case against him. The motion to expedite the hearing was tied to a Dec. 13th NBC News interview in which the Jane Doe admitted to inconsistencies and “mistakes” in her narrative of the alleged assault and was contradicted by her own father. The order read: “The court will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it.” Jay-Z has vigorously denied all accusations.
