HOUSTON – Fans and social media users are abuzz Thursday over singer Lizzo’s Instagram response to a lawsuit filed earlier this week against her.
“The last few days have been gut-wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing. My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned. My character has been criticized. Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed.

“These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.”
Following the lawsuit allegations, fans noticed that Beyonce appeared to skip over Lizzo’s name as she performed “Break My Soul” at her Boston concert on Tuesday, CNN reports. At previous concerts, Lizzo’s name appeared in the lyrics of “Break My Soul (Queen’s Remix),” alongside the likes of Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill and Nicki Minaj, as part of Beyoncé's song celebrating Black women in the entertainment industry.
