Lizzo is not sitting at Beyoncé‘s desk proper now within the wake of claims made in opposition to her by a number of former backup dancers — at the very least that is the way it appears after this obvious Bey sting.
The singer was doing a present in Boston Tuesday — as a part of her “Renaissance” tour — and through her efficiency of “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)” … Beyoncé noticeably failed to say Lizzo’s title within the lyrics, regardless of having achieved so repeatedly prior to now.
For those who’re unfamiliar, Lizzo is definitely written into the remix — that means her title is meant to seem within the music naturally, so the actual fact Bey switched it up stay is telling.
The name-drop occurs in verse 3, the place Beyoncé is itemizing a bunch of trailblazing girls — which usually consists of Lizzo as effectively — however on this explicit outing … Bey omitted her and as an alternative selected to say Erykah Badu 4 completely different occasions (extra on this later).
After all, to some … it felt like, maybe, Beyoncé had caught wind of the lawsuit filed against Lizzo Tuesday — which had some fairly scandalous accusations in it, just like the notion that she allegedly coerced her backup dancers to take part in nude cabaret reveals … to not point out allegedly badgering/body-shaming one of many dancers over a weight challenge.
The web definitely chatted about it yesterday, and now with this … some are assuming Beyoncé did as effectively, and presumably decided to depart her off her ‘BMS’ record.
Now, there’s one other rationalization for this would-be snub. As we reported … there’s unhealthy blood between Erykah and Beyoncé proper now. The previous known as out the latter for ripping off her fashion sense … this ‘trigger Bey’s worn comparable ‘matches onstage that echo EB’s fashion.
It was a fairly public call-out … and you possibly can interpret Beyoncé’s transfer as a response to Erykah stirring the pot. Eye of the beholder, we suppose … however a selection was definitely made.
