Lizzo lit up headlines this week when a post she made about detoxing saw some oddly probe her commitment to championing body positivity.

And while the debate rages on, one person speaking up and out in support of the ‘Juice’ singer is ‘Orange Is The New Black’ star Danielle Brooks.

An ardent advocate for loving the skin you’re in, the actress had a lot to say in support of Lizzo and silencing those making negative remarks.

Lady Gaga‘s ‘Chromatica’ era has been quite the roller-coaster.

Indeed, in serving as one of main releases to arrive in the thick of the global health crisis, it’s had a sticky trajectory; one which has seen many of its planned promotional activations paused or pivoted in light of the chaos that has torn through the entertainment industry.

Still, Mother Monster soldiered on and scored wins – namely a #1 debut with the LP on the Billboard 200 and a chart-topping single with ‘Rain On Me’ featuring Ariana Grande. 

She also earned critical acclaim for the cinematic visual for ‘911’ – which, in light of a lack radio release, seemed more designed to be an album-selling vehicle.

All the while, there has been mass calls from fans to give ‘Sour Candy’ featuring BLACKPINK the official single treatment.

And it seems Gaga may be taking heed to their requests.

Now, as calls for her yet-titled sophomore studio album increase, she’s putting work in place to ensure 2021 is just as successful.

‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ hitmaker Snoop Dogg found himself in hot water last week after publicly criticizing Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion‘s megahit, ‘WAP,’ for being too racy – a judgment that reeked of hypocrisy some say given his own past with misogynistic and hypersexualized lyrics.

As we reported here, Dogg suggested the song’s raunchy content leaves little to the imagination and was unsuitable for young girls.

“Let’s have some imagination. Let’s have some privacy, some intimacy,” he started. “I just don’t want it that fashionable to where young girls, they can express themselves like that without even knowing that that is a jewel that they hold onto until the right person comes around.”

His words ignited fury and even earned a clap back from B’s husband, fellow rapper Offset (as we reported here).

Tired of the hoopla, Snoop took to Instagram recently to defend himself.  Look inside to see what he said:
