Beatz posted on Instagram the next day defending his wife’s performance. Swizz wrote in the caption of his post, "Y’all talking about the wrong damn thing !!! y’all don’t see that amazing dress covering the entire stadium.” He is hinting at the beautiful red outfit that his wife shed after her performance. Beats also went on to add, "Tonight’s performance was nothing but amazing with 2 amazing Giants ! Congrats @usher and my love @aliciakeys that song is a classic.” 

The rapper then started to talk about her performance. He said, "We don’t do negative vibes on this side we make history.” As a husband and artist, he was also upset that Alicia’s part was just edited to omit the vocal glitch that happened on stage. It is an honor to perform on such a stage, and it is human to have errors when performing live. Usher felt honored to perform at Super Bowl 2024 along with Alicia. He said, "It's an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can't wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they've seen from me before. Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I'll see you real soon," 

There are no comments from Alicia’s end yet. As we wait to know more on how Swizz’s wife feels about the backlash, stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
