Beyoncé raised eyebrows during the Massachusetts stop of her Renaissance Tour, as she left out her usual shout-out to Lizzo just hours after a sexual allegation lawsuit was filed against her
Tina Knowles was forced to set the record straight amid speculation that her daughter Beyoncé snubbed Lizzo while performing the Break My Soul remix.
While performing in Foxborough, Massachusetts, during her sell-out Renaissance Tour, the 41-year-old Crazy in Love hitmaker did not include her usual shout-out to Lizzo. Beyoncé usually sings “Badu, Lizzo, Kelly Rowl (You know you can do it)” and also goes on to give a shout-out to other Black women in music. However, on this occasion, she repeated Badu’s name instead of Lizzo’s.
Eyebrows were raised as the omission came just hours after three of Lizzo’s former dancers filed a lawsuit against the singer, her production company and her dance captain over claims they were weight-shamed and sexually harassed. Since then, other former colleagues also weighed in on the allegations, agreeing with what the star is accused of.
However, amid the reports, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina, was quick to dismiss any speculation that her superstar daughter dropped Lizzo’s name from her performance as a direct result of the allegations against her.
