In a surprising turn of events, Beyonce left out Lizzo’s name from the lyrics of a remixed version of “Break My Soul” while performing in Boston, Massachusetts on Tuesday night. This incident comes just hours after news broke that Lizzo, the 35-year-old singer, is being sued by three of her former dancers for alleged sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.

The song, titled “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix),” features Beyonce listing off a number of boundary-breaking Black female artists. The lyric that mentions Lizzo goes: “Betty Davis, Solange Knowles / [Erykah Badu], Lizzo, Kelly Rowl’ (You know you can do it).” However, in concert footage shared to Twitter, Beyonce intentionally replaces Lizzo’s name with four repetitions of “Badu.”

This omission has sparked speculation and discussion among fans and music enthusiasts. Many are questioning the reason behind Beyonce’s decision to exclude Lizzo’s name from the lyrics. Some speculate that it may be related to the recent allegations made against Lizzo by her former dancers.

Beyonce is currently on the North American leg of her Renaissance World Tour, which began in Europe on May 10. This incident occurred during her performance in Boston, Massachusetts. The tour has been highly anticipated and has received rave reviews for its powerful performances and celebration of Black female empowerment.

Meanwhile, Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, is facing a legal battle as her ex backup dancers have accused her of sexual harassment and body shaming. The plaintiffs, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez, are named in the lawsuit. Williams and Davis gained recognition for their appearances on the recent Amazon Prime reality show, “Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls,” which documented Lizzo’s search for backup dancers.

The lawsuit alleges that Lizzo invited cast members to engage in inappropriate activities, such as touching the nude performers, during a visit to an Amsterdam strip club. It also claims that Lizzo encouraged behaviors that were demeaning and demoralizing to her employees. These allegations are in stark contrast to Lizzo’s public image, which promotes body positivity and inclusivity.

The lawsuit further implicates Lizzo’s dance captain, Shirlene Quigley, who is accused of sharing lewd sexual fantasies and discussing the virginity of one of the plaintiffs while berating those who had engaged in pre-marital sex.

The plaintiffs’ complaints include allegations of a hostile work environment, sexual harassment, religious harassment, racial harassment, disability discrimination, and failure to prevent or remedy the harassment. Lizzo is specifically accused of disability discrimination, creating a hostile work environment, sexual harassment, and failing to address these issues.

Lizzo’s touring company, Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc., is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit. The dancers claim that Lizzo’s actions violated their bodily autonomy and robbed them of the choice to participate in certain activities.

The ongoing legal battle has raised questions about the disparity between Lizzo’s public persona and her alleged behavior behind the scenes. Ron Zambrano, the plaintiffs’ lawyer, expressed shock at the contrast, stating, “The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly. While privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are not only illegal but absolutely demoralizing.”

As this legal case unfolds, both Beyonce and Lizzo will undoubtedly face scrutiny and speculation regarding their actions and involvement. Fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how these situations develop and how they may impact the reputations and careers of two influential artists in the music industry..
