In a recent episode of Benny Blanco’s podcast, “Friends Keep Secrets,” Lizzo opened up about her unexpected experiences in the dating scene since skyrocketing to fame. The singer, known for her empowering anthems and body positivity, shared that a wave of rappers have been sliding into her DMs since the release of her acclaimed album, Cuz I Love You, in 2019.
Lizzo, who has often spoken about her journey with body image, recounted a time when she felt invisible to men. “Growing up, being a big girl meant I was often overlooked,” she revealed. “In my world, fat equated to ugly, which is a damaging stereotype. Back in high school, only one guy showed any interest, and even then, he was too ashamed to be seen with me.”
When asked by Benny who the “craziest” celebrity to reach out was, Lizzo humorously replied, “All of them,” referring to the influx of hip-hop artists in her messages. She described her initial confusion, stating, “I thought they were just being friendly. I had to be told that these messages had a different intention. I was completely oblivious!”
As clips from the podcast circulate on social media, the reactions have been mixed. Some fans highlighted the importance of being cautious about friendliness, while others doubted the authenticity of her claims, with one user questioning, “Every is a stretch. So, Jay Z?”
This candid discussion comes on the heels of Lizzo releasing her new music video for “Don’t Make Me Love U,” further keeping her fans engaged. Though she completed her fifth studio album, Love in Real Life, last year, the release date remains under wraps.
