Beyoncé’s mom ensures her performance runs smooth
This week, Knowles told TMZ, “Everything’s going to be good. God is going to be there.” The singer will perform her album Cowboy Carter for the first time during the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas–her hometown, as reported by Page Six.
The outlet caught up with the famous mom after the Tyson-Paul fight witnessed heavy glitches during its live stream on Netflix on November 15. During the match, the streaming giant received more than 88,000 reports of streaming issues, and Barstool Sports honcho David Portnoy labelled it “unwatchable.”
Moreover, a resident of Florida hit the platform with a $50 million class action lawsuit.
The man reportedly stated in his lawsuit, “Netflix customers experienced massive streaming issues and should have known better because it’s happened before. They were woefully ill-prepared.” Last Saturday, the subscription-based streaming platform announced that the match soared to 65 million concurrent streams worldwide.
The lawsuit alleged that many of the viewers missed major chunks of the much-anticipated fight while some fans had no access to it at all.
