Recently, Beyonce's relationship with Lizzo has been under scrutiny due to a shocking lawsuit brought against the Grammy-winning star and her production company. Three former dancers have made allegations of sexual harassment, religious and racial discrimination, assault, and false imprisonment.
The lawsuit has caused an uproar and fans claimed that Beyonce had ‘intentionally left out’ Lizzo’s name during her Renaissance Tour show in New York last week. However, according to TMZ, the Formation singer put the About Damn Time singer’s name back on the track in her Queens remix of Break My Soul.
In the song, Beyonce listed Melissa Viviane Jefferson, Lizzo’s real name, as one of the inspirational black women breaking boundaries. The lyric usually goes: ‘Betty Davis, Solange Knowles / [Erykah] Badu, Lizzo, Kelly Rowl’. This is something Beyonce has done throughout the tour.
Beyonce’s mum, Tina Knowles, recently shut down the claims that her daughter intentionally dropped Lizzo’s name from the mix. Commenting on an Instagram post, Tina wrote: ‘She also didn’t say her own sister’s name.’ This was in reference to the fact that Beyonce had left her sister Solange’s name out of the remix.
Lizzo has denied the allegations and has branded them ‘sensationalised’. The Juice hitmaker said that while she is ‘hurt’, she refuses to ‘let the good work [she’s] done in the world be overshadowed by this.’
The truth of this controversy is yet to be determined, but Lizzo's supporters have been vocal about their loyalty to the singer. Grimes recently expressed her support and said she has only seen ‘exemplary behaviour from her.’ Metro has reached out to Beyonce’s reps for comment.
