Lizzo, the self-proclaimed queen of authenticity, is spilling the tea on her crossover success and the sea of white faces bobbing in her fanbase.
In a tell-all interview with Vanity Fair’s November cover story, the 34-year-old diva, also known as Melissa Viviane Jefferson, dished out insights into her journey to stardom and the supposed purity of her musical expression.
With all the solemnity of a preacher at a revival, Lizzo boldly declared that she doesn’t pander to any particular racial demographic.
Oh no, her music is a sacred manifestation of her Black experience—a balm for her own soul, if you will. While she waxes poetic about her R&B, hip-hop, and gospel roots, she conveniently forgets to mention how she’s also become the poster child for pop music with hits like “Juice,” “Good As Hell,” and the oh-so-original “About Damn Time.”

But wait, there’s more! Despite racking up a fanbase as diverse as a bag of Skittles, including the pale-skinned pilgrims who hopped on the Lizzo bandwagon after her 2019 breakthrough with “Cuz I Luv You,” Lizzo insists that her primary audience is Black women. Cue the applause, please. According to Lizzo, Black women are in desperate need of self-love anthems. Because, you know, nobody else needs a pep talk now and then.
In a performance worthy of an Oscar, Lizzo expressed her bewilderment at critics daring to question her commitment to the Black perspective.
How dare they! After all, being Black is practically tattooed on her forehead, right next to “I’m so authentic.” Touching on her recent escapade with Founding Father James Madison’s antique flute, Lizzo reminded us all that Black women in America are still waiting for their moment in the sun. Cue the violins.

But don’t you worry, folks! Lizzo is here to save the day with her activism. She generously donated a cool half-million to Planned Parenthood and the National Network of Abortion Funds when Roe v. Wade got knocked off its pedestal.
And guess what? Live Nation, her tour promoter, decided to double the fun with another $500,000. Talk about spreading the love! But wait, there’s a twist: Lizzo believes the ruling’s got something to do with white male supremacy. Shocking, right?
In conclusion, Lizzo’s journey through the maze of fame is like a rollercoaster ride through a minefield of race, identity, and activism. Her unapologetic stance and unwavering commitment to her roots would make even the most devout preacher proud.
So, let’s all raise our voices and join the chorus of self-love, because when it comes to Lizzo, it’s Black or nothing, baby!
