Lizzo is speaking candidly about the conversation surrounding the soft commercial performance of her latest album, ‘B*TCH.’
The GRAMMY winner took to X after a fan questioned why an artist who was selling out arenas just a few years ago appears to be facing a different reality in today’s music landscape.
And according to the singer, there isn’t one simple answer.
Full story below…
The discussion began when a social media user wrote:
“Lizzo not having a fanbase is so weird to me when this woman was literally selling out arenas not even 2 years ago. Like, where did those people go?”
Lizzo responded directly, pointing to major changes within the music business as well as the intense scrutiny she has faced in recent years.
Writing candidly, she quipped:
“I actually can answer this: the industry changed so much in the last 3 yrs. Streaming replaced radio & I was a radio darling. That’s how my fans discovered my music. Not to mention the very obvious & public attack on my career changed things.
But I’m out here doing my absolute best and u can’t knock a bitch for that 🤎”
The remarks arrive as the singer continues promoting ‘B*TCH,’ her first full-length album release since 2022’s ‘Special,’ and weathering a turbulent chapter that included legal battles, public criticism, and more.
Whatever the case, it looks like the Houston native is pushing forward
You, Meghan Trainor, and Adele
filled a hole in fat representation.
Then the skinty demon took over
and made you betray obese girls.
You starve their media visibility,
their money goes to Trailer Swift.
That aside, B*tch was not fun 👎
I think there IS a correlation btw
Lizzo & Meghan’s deday and little,
to no, Ricky Reed productions…
