“Worthy of Every Penny”: Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson Weigh in on Netflix Paying Beyoncé $20M for Halftime Show

Queen Bey ate and left no crumbs at the Christmas Day NFL halftime show on Netflix. As expected, she got paid the big bucks for it. And rightfully so. Many reports suggest that Beyoncé took home a cool $20 million for her 13-minute extravaganza. And, Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson believe she deserved all of it, plus some more.

A sassy Ocho reacted passionately to the amount on her paycheck, saying, “Worthy of it. Worthy of every penny. And the change.”

Unc, too, was in awe of her performance and gushed about it on Nightcap:

“She did what she did. Did what she was supposed to do. Did what I expect to see when I see Beyoncé. She was sensational,” said Sharpe.

Beyoncé turned the halftime show into a personal concert for NFL fans. The pop star dazzled with an exceptional, star-studded performance featuring songs from her most recent album, Cowboy Carter. Album collaborators Shaboozey, Post Malone, Tanner Adell and Brittney Spencer among others were special guests, along with Beyoncé’s 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.

While the primary attraction at NRG Stadium was supposed to be the NFL game between the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens, the spotlight was undeniably on #BeyonceBowl.

Her 12-plus minute show was produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment and the pop star’s own Parkwood Entertainment.

Singer-songwriter Shaboozey performed alongside Beyoncé for the song ‘Spaghetti’, followed by Post Malone joining them for ‘Levi’s Jeans’. The rapper and Queen Bey fittingly donned denim as they entertained the crowd in front of a truck covered in denim.

The showstopper was certainly when Blue Ivy danced next to her mother during ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’, much like how she did during the Renaissance World Tour. The track had topped both the country and pop charts earlier this year.

On the field, the Texans were thrashed 2-31 by the Ravens, who are now 11-5 for the season. Baltimore had already taken a 17-2 lead by the time Beyoncé took centerstage.
