Lizzo may have been snubbed by Beyoncé during her performance in Boston. Beyoncé noticeably failed to mention Lizzo’s name in the lyrics of her song “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix),” despite having done so in the past. This is significant because Lizzo is actually written into the remix. Some speculate that Beyoncé caught wind of the lawsuit filed against Lizzo, which accuses her of coercing backup dancers to participate in nude cabaret shows and body-shaming one of the dancers. Others believe that Beyoncé’s omission of Lizzo’s name may be related to the ongoing feud between Beyoncé and Erykah Badu, who accused Beyoncé of copying her fashion sense. TMZ Staff reported
Lizzo Isn’t Sitting at Beyoncé’s Table Right Now: The Bey Sting
In the wake of claims made against her by a few former backup dancers, it seems that Lizzo isn’t currently sitting at Beyoncé’s table. This apparent Bey sting occurred during Beyoncé’s show in Boston on Tuesday as part of her “Renaissance” tour. During her performance of “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix),” Beyoncé noticeably failed to mention Lizzo’s name in the lyrics, despite having done so repeatedly in the past.
If you’re unfamiliar, Lizzo is actually written into the remix, which means her name is supposed to appear in the song naturally. The fact that Beyoncé switched it up live is telling. The name-drop typically happens in verse 3, where Beyoncé lists a bunch of trailblazing women, including Lizzo. However, on this particular outing, Beyoncé omitted her and instead chose to mention Erykah Badu four different times.
Some people felt that Beyoncé’s omission of Lizzo’s name might be connected to the lawsuit filed against Lizzo on Tuesday, which contained scandalous accusations such as allegedly coercing her backup dancers to participate in nude cabaret shows and body-shaming one of the dancers over a weight issue. The internet certainly discussed this yesterday, and now with Beyoncé’s apparent snub, some are assuming she might have caught wind of the lawsuit and made a decision to leave Lizzo off her “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)” list.
However, there is another explanation for this potential snub. It has been reported that there is currently bad blood between Erykah Badu and Beyoncé. Erykah called out Beyoncé for ripping off her fashion sense, as Beyoncé has worn similar outfits on stage that echo Erykah’s style. This public call-out could be interpreted as Beyoncé’s response to Erykah stirring the pot.
Ultimately, whether Beyoncé’s omission of Lizzo’s name was a result of the lawsuit or a response to Erykah’s comments is up to interpretation. Nevertheless, a choice was certainly made, and Lizzo seems to be left out of Beyoncé’s table for now.
