Lizzo isn’t sitting at Beyoncé‘s table right now in the wake of claims made against her by a few former backup dancers — at least that’s how it seems after this apparent Bey sting.
The singer was doing a show in Boston Tuesday — as part of her ‘Renaissance’ tour — and 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 actual remix — meaning her name is supposed to appear in the song naturally, so the fact Bey switched it up live is telling.
The name-drop happens in verse 3, where Beyoncé is listing a bunch of trailblazing women — which normally includes Lizzo as well — but on this particular outing … Bey omitted her and instead chose to mention Erykah Badu 4 different times (more on this later).
Of course, to some … it felt like, perhaps, Beyoncé had caught wind of the lawsuit filed against Lizzo Tuesday — which had some pretty scandalous accusations in it, like the notion that she allegedly coerced her backup dancers to participate in nude cabaret shows … not to mention allegedly badgering/body-shaming one of the dancers over a weight issue.
The internet certainly chatted about it yesterday, and now with this … some are assuming Beyoncé did as well, and possibly made a decision to leave her off her ‘BMS’ list.
Now, there’s another explanation for this would-be snub. As we reported … there’s bad blood between Erikah and Beyoncé right now. The former called out the latter for ripping off her fashion sense … this ’cause Bey’s worn similar ‘fits onstage that echo EB’s style.
It was a pretty public call-out … and you could interpret Beyoncé’s move as a response to Erikah stirring the pot. Eye of the beholder, we suppose … but a choice was certainly made.
