<p id=”par-1_78″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/jay-z/?swcfpc=1″>Jay-Z</a>, real name Shawn Carter, is in hot water following <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/beyonce-jay-z-knew-happen-jay-z-diddy-arrest.html/”>allegations stemming from Sean “Diddy” Combs’</a> arrest. According to a lawsuit, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jay-z-pushing-accusers-name-public-amid-lawsuit.html/”>Jay-Z allegedly raped a 13-year-old</a> in 2000 alongside Combs and in the presence of another celebrity. Fans wondered if the allegations would impact <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/beyonce/?swcfpc=1″>Beyoncé Knowles-Carter’s</a> Christmas Day NFL halftime performance or other holiday plans. Now, we’re looking back at when Jay-Z and Beyoncé had a Christmas decorating team transform their home in less than 24 hours. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-jay-z-and-beyonce-once-had-a-design-team-decorate-their-home-for-christmas-in-less-than-24-hours”>Jay-Z and Beyoncé once had a design team decorate their home for Christmas in ‘less than 24 hours’</h2>
<p id=”par-2_40″>Jay-Z and Beyoncé likely won’t share their holiday plans with the public in 2024 following the allegations concerning Jay-Z in 2000. However, celebrity holiday stylist Dr. Christmas shared how he helped transform the power couple’s Malibu mansion in 2023. </p>
<p id=”par-3_36″>Bob Pranga, aka Dr. Christmas, told <a href=”https://people.com/dr-christmas-reveals-how-he-decorated-beyonce-jay-z-house-with-christmas-in-africa-theme-8419926″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>People</a> in 2023 that his team of holiday designers was asked to create a “Christmas in Africa” theme for Jay-Z and Beyoncé. However, the couple wasn’t spending Christmas at home.</p>
<p id=”par-4_76″>“I got a call from her assistant that they decided they wanted to spend Christmas in Malibu … three days before Christmas,” Pranga said. “It was a fascinating thing to me because I went out there, and it was like a movie set. All these people were hired to make this house perfect before they got there for Christmas Eve.” Pranga added that his team had “less than 24 hours to prepare” the couple’s home. </p>
<p id=”par-5_21″>While Beyoncé’s Christmas request could earn her the label of a diva, Pranga verified that the singer is “a lovely lady.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_28″>“She’s very chill,” he continued. “People are always looking for those wonderful or horrible stories of celebrities. But I get to see these people as people at home.”</p>

<p id=”par-7_34″>While Jay-Z and Beyoncé might not speak out about their holiday plans in 2024, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, gave insight into what her Christmas will look like with her daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids. </p>
<p id=”par-8_45″>Knowles shares that she plans to give her grandkids — Blue Ivy Carter, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir Carter, 7, toys. “For the kids, we buy toys just like in any other family,” she told <a href=”https://www.eonline.com/news/1410815/tina-knowles-shares-insight-into-holiday-traditions-with-daughter-beyonce-and-her-3-kids” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>E! News</a> in early December 2024. “That’s what they like.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_18″>Knowles noted that Christmas is all about “music and family.” She plans to bring her signature dish: gumbo.</p>
<p id=”par-10_24″>“I just made it for Thanksgiving; it was so many people that came over,” Beyoncé’s mother continued. “Just good food and company and family.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-will-the-allegations-against-jay-z-impact-beyonce-s-2024-nfl-christmas-halftime-performance”>Will the allegations against Jay-Z impact Beyoncé’s 2024 NFL Christmas halftime performance?</h2>
<p id=”par-11_53″>Fans worried that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jay-zs-lawyers-said-faces-gun-head-rape-accusations.html/”>the allegations against Jay-Z</a> could impact his relationship with the NFL. Additionally, the allegations could <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/beyonce-let-jay-z-allegations-bring-image.html/”>bleed into Beyoncé’s professional life</a>. On Christmas, the <em>Cowboy Carter</em> singer will perform live at halftime during the game between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans. So, do the allegations impact Beyoncé’s Christmas performance plans?</p>
<p id=”par-12_25″>It appears Beyoncé’s performance is not jeopardized. The NFL told <a href=”https://www.themirror.com/sport/american-football/beyonce-nfl-show-jayz-allegations-854333″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Mirror U.S. Sports</a> that reports suggesting the cancellation of Beyoncé’s halftime special are false. </p>
<p id=”par-13_31″>NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was asked whether the Jay-Z allegations would impact the NFL’s partnership with the hip-hop star. Jay-Z’s entertainment company, Roc Nation, entered a partnership with the NFL in 2019.</p>
<p id=”par-14_48″>“You know, we’re aware of the civil allegations and Jay-Z’s really strong response to that,” Goodell said at a meeting. “And we know, obviously, the litigation is happening now. But from our standpoint, our relationship is not changing with them, including our preparations for the next Super Bowl.”</p>
