Lizzo has slammed a celebrity for being rude to her before she shot to fame – and fans have been thrown into a frenzy over the revelation.
The Juice hitmaker, 37, who has been flaunting her incredible weight loss of late, revealed on Andy Cohen‘s Watch What Happens Live! that a mystery star would only give her the time of day when she became a success.
A cheeky Cohen said: ‘Who is someone in the industry who was only nice to you when you became famous?’
Lizzo responded: ‘Oh my god I have an answer and I don’t want…’ as Snoop Dogg said: ‘Don’t say it!’
She continued: ‘Someone I played shows with in the past, and now they’re like “Oh hi!” They wanted me on a song.
‘But I remember I was at the VMAs one year they were and they were like, “what are you doing here?”

Although she refused to name the mystery star, Lizzo’s fans quickly took their own theories to social media, touting Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat, and Megan Thee Stallion as the star’s potential enemy.
Lizzo is firmly back on the publicity trail with a new look nearly two years after she was sued by three former backup dancers, who alleged she created a hostile work environment.
In February 2024, Lizzo attempted to dismiss the lawsuit and was denied. It remains ongoing.
With her fifth album Love In Real Life getting ready to drop at some point this summer, the singer is opening up about her past, during her weight loss journey.
She revealed on an episode of the Therapuss podcast that she’s learning to find grace in certain situations.
‘I’ve been cancelled a lot,” she said on the May 14 episode of Therapuss with Jake Shane,’ adding, ‘I shouldn’t say I’ve been cancelled, because I’m still going, but I’ve gotten backlash a lot.’
She added, ‘Literally every single time I’ve received backlash I use it as a growing and learning lesson.’
One of her first experiences in receiving backlash from fans was when she synced her hit Good as Hell to Weight Watchers, after Oprah Winfrey bought a stake in the company.
She explained that at first she was thrilled, stating, ‘It was like, “Oprah wants to use your song.” I lost my mind. I was like, “Oh my god Oprah knows who I am!” I was like, “Yes! Yes.”‘
She continued: ‘Someone I played shows with in the past, and now they’re like “Oh hi!” They wanted me on a song. ‘But I remember I was at the VMAs one year they were and they were like, “what are you doing here?”

Although she refused to name the mystery star, Lizzo’s fans quickly took their own theories to social media, touting Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat, and Megan Thee Stallion as the star’s potential enemy.
However, after posting the Weight Watchers ad, she found many fans quickly turned on her.
‘I remember posting the commercial because I was so proud and everybody was like, ‘You’re f–king joking right, like this is promoting eating disorders,’” she told Jake. “And I was like, ‘Oh my god.’ It broke my heart. It truly broke my heart.”’
She also opened up about being canceled back in October 2024, just a few months after she announced taking a year off of performing.
‘I’ve been canceled for everything at this point. Only God can cancel me now,’ the singer admitted last fall.
‘I think that I talk about the things that are important to me, and I talk about the things that I can bring a difference to, and I think those are my boundaries now with the public,’ she added.
The performing hiatus came after the lawsuit was announced, with claims that the dancers were targets of sexual, religious and racial harassment.

Lizzo said on social media at the time, ‘These 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.,’ she added.
It’s unclear if Lizzo will be launching a new tour in support of her album once her performing hiatus comes to a close.
