Beyoncé appeared to exclude Lizzo’s name from her performance of “Break My Soul (Queen’s Remix)” at a concert in Boston. This comes after news broke that Lizzo is facing a lawsuit from three former dancers who allege harassment and a hostile work environment. Normally, Lizzo’s name is included in the song’s lyrics alongside other influential black women in the entertainment industry. Videos on social media show Beyoncé repeating Erykah Badu’s name instead of Lizzo’s, even as Lizzo’s name appeared on the screen behind her. Lizzo had previously praised Beyoncé’s show, expressing gratitude for the connection between artists and fans. The lawsuit against Lizzo was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and also names her production company and a “dance cast captain” as defendants. The plaintiffs claim they were subjected to harassment and pressure regarding their weight. Representatives for Lizzo and her production company have not yet commented on the lawsuit.

Beyoncé Appears to Skip Lizzo’s Name in Concert Following Lawsuit Allegations

Introduction

In a surprising turn of events, Beyoncé seemed to skip over Lizzo’s name during her recent concert in Boston. This comes amidst news that Lizzo is facing a lawsuit filed by three former dancers who allege harassment and a hostile work environment. Lizzo’s name is normally featured in Beyoncé’s song, “Break My Soul (Queen’s Remix),” alongside other influential black women in the entertainment industry such as Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill, and Nicki Minaj.

The Omission

Several videos circulating on social media captured the moment when Beyoncé appeared to omit Lizzo’s name from the lyrics of “Break My Soul (Queen’s Remix).” Instead, she repeated Erykah Badu’s name four times, even though Lizzo’s name was displayed on the screen behind her. This omission has left fans wondering about the significance behind it.

Lizzo’s Previous Appreciation

Lizzo had previously expressed her admiration for Beyoncé during the “Renaissance” tour. In June, she posted a video on Instagram of herself watching a set from a previous show, where she reflected on the interconnectedness and significance of all individuals. Lizzo thanked Beyoncé for the honor of being part of such a powerful movement.

The Lawsuit Allegations

The omission of Lizzo’s name by Beyoncé coincided with the announcement of the lawsuit against Lizzo. Three former dancers, who previously worked with the Grammy-winner, filed a complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court. The lawsuit also includes Lizzo’s production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc. (BGBT), and a person referred to as the “dance cast captain.”

Among the allegations outlined in the lawsuit, one of the plaintiffs claimed that she was encouraged by Lizzo to “take turns touching the nude performers” while at a club in Amsterdam’s red light district during a tour in February. Another plaintiff stated that Lizzo expressed thinly veiled concerns about her weight gain, causing her to feel pressured to explain her weight gain and disclose personal details to maintain her job on the dance team.

CNN reached out to representatives for Lizzo and Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc. to seek comment on the lawsuit allegations.

Conclusion

Beyoncé’s omission of Lizzo’s name during her concert in Boston has raised eyebrows and sparked speculation about the reasons behind it. This incident comes at a time when Lizzo is facing serious allegations of a hostile work environment and harassment from three former dancers. As the lawsuit unfolds, the industry and fans will be watching closely to see how these events impact both artists’ careers.
