"Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 will not be paid for her performance at this weekend&amp;#039;s Super Bowl halftime show. The singer has been granted $600,000 for production costs, but will not be handed a fee for the mini concert, which will take place in New Orleans on Sunday (February 3).  &amp;quot;We pay the production costs for the halftime show, there is no fee for the artists,&amp;quot; NFL spokesman Greg Aiello revealed to the Daily Mail. However, president of the consultancy Sportscorp Ltd. Marc Ganis told the newspaper that some of the production cost would be funded by Pepsi. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 will not get paid, but her back-up singers, her musicians, all the extras - they will be paid by the NFL production budget,&amp;quot; Ganis said. &amp;quot;But last year, for Madonna&amp;#039;s show, the budget certainly exceeded the budget the NFL gave her, and that will almost certainly be the same this year.  &amp;quot;This means the artists have to pay the difference out of their own pocket - it won&amp;#039;t be the act themselves, but their business side. Their record label, or even Pepsi could fund it for Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9.&amp;quot; Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 recently signed a $50 million endorsement deal with the fizzy drink giant. Meanwhile, Destiny&amp;#039;s Child star Michelle Williams recently denied rumours the girl group would briefly reform during Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 halftime show.
