Lizzo Slams Criticism of Her New Music & Says ‘the Way This World Treats Black Women Is Sickening’

Lizzo slammed recent criticism of her new music and the historical mistreatment of Black women by society. See what she said.

“As if I didn’t write ‘about damn time’ to be a post lockdown anthem to inspire us to get outside and together again.. and was successful at it btw,” she continued, referring to her 2022 Billboard Hot 100-topping single that won record of the year at the 2023 Grammys. “I think seeing and hearing a black woman make real music with radical joy triggers miserable people … but I follow in the footsteps of Janet [Jackson], of Funkadelic, of Earth Wind and Fire… nobody’s doing it like me for Us.” The songs also serve as her comeback after a few of her former dancers sued her in August 2023 on allegations of sexual harassment and hostile work environment, all of which the Yitty founder has repeatedly and emphatically denied.
