Beyoncé Performs at NFL Halftime Show

Jay-Z was noticeably absent from Beyoncé's NFL halftime show on Christmas Day, which marked her first performance following serious allegations of gang-rape against him and Sean 'Diddy' Combs. The accusations stem from an incident at a 2000 MTV Awards afterparty, which both men have denied. Despite Jay-Z's absence, Beyoncé delivered a powerful performance featuring songs from her new album, Cowboy Carter, alongside their daughter, Blue Ivy. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell affirmed that the league's relationship with Jay-Z remains unchanged despite the allegations. Beyoncé is reportedly focused on her upcoming world tour, with plans to announce new shows soon. The absence of Jay-Z raised questions about the couple's status amidst ongoing scrutiny from the public and media.
