Lizzo is shaping up to look like the latest bad egg in Hollywood and celebrities are already starting to put distance between them and her!
First Up, Beyonce
Lizzo was once an inspiration to Beyonce, enough to be a fixture in one of the songs on her Renaissance album. The original lyrics to the song are: “Betty Davis / Solange Knowles / Badu / Lizzo / Kelly Rowl’.”
But last night, kicking off the first of the month, Bey performed in Boston, Massachusetts where she switched up the lyrics to repeat singer Erykah Badu’s last name four times. So yeah, everyone got cut except for the soulstress Badu.
That being said, Beyonce is no fool. She likely doesn’t want to draw too much attention to the change but seemingly couldn’t allow the disgraced singers name to remain in her hit song. Could this have been an actual jab at Lizzo? You decide!
There Is Video
Fans were taping the show when it all went down so you can easily hop on the X, formally known as the bird app, and listen to the amended hit. It doesn’t change up the song at all really but it’s a noticeable amendment to the hit.
Some assumed that it was a homage to Badu because, during her New York show, she wore a chrome hat with an oversized brim, which is a standard look for Badu. When Badu saw this, she took to social media with photos of herself and Beyonce in similar hats. She wrote, “Hmmm. I guess I’m everybody’s stylist.”
Maybe Beyonce was sending some sort of message to Badu after her cheeky comments online. Bey loves a mixed message.
Dancers Are Speaking Out
In the latest shocking slap against Lizzo, her former creative director Quinn Wilson came out and a former dancer Courtney Hollinquest are sharing their sentiments on the shocking 44-page lawsuit.
“For clarification, I’m not apart of the lawsuit – but this was very much my experience in my time there. Big shoutout to the dancers who had the courage to bring this to light.” She continued, “echoing what @cquestt said i havent been apart of that world for around three years, for a reason.”
“I very much applaude the dancers courage to bring this to light and I grieve parts of my own experience. Id appreciate space to understand my feelings.”
Documentary Director Sharing As Well
Remember that documentary Lizzo had coming out, well the first director was a woman named Sophia Nahli Allison who bounced after 2 weeks because Lizzo was so “disrespectful” she was not willing to put up with that for however long production would take place.
She shared her experience on her Instagram Story.
“I usually do not comment on anything pop culture related. But, in 2019, I traveled a bit with Lizzo to be the director of her documentary. I walked away after about 2 weeks. I was treated with such disrespect by her.”
She continued, “I witnessed how arrogant, self-centered, and unkind she is. I was not protected and was thrown into a shitty situation with little support. My spirit said to run as fast as you f**king can and I’m so grateful I trusted my gut.”
