In a whirlwind of celestial surprises, Lizzo recently opened up about her unexpected rise to the center of attention, revealing that her DMs have been flooded with messages from a slew of rappers since the release of her album, Cuz I Love You, back in 2019. Who knew that success would come with such romantic plot twists? During her chat on the podcast, Friends Keep Secrets, she candidly shared her past experiences of feeling invisible to men while growing up—and boy, does that hit home for anyone who’s ever felt overlooked! With all these stars aligning in her favor, Lizzo’s journey from being the “big girl” who couldn’t catch a break to the undisputed queen of confidence and allure is nothing short of breathtaking. But how do you even navigate the cosmos of dating when the universe throws you curveballs and DMs from hip-hop royalty? Let’s dive into her revelation that left fans both bewildered and amused—because sometimes, the truth is as outlandish as a Mercury retrograde mishap!
Lizzo says that tons of rappers slide into her DMs after she achieved mainstream success with the release of her third studio album, Cuz I Love You, in 2019. Discussing her love life during an appearance on the podcast, Friends Keep Secrets, Lizzo explained how she wasn’t used to men finding her attractive.
The topic began with Benny Blanco asking Lizzo for the “craziest” celebrity to slide into her DMs. “All of them,” she said, referencing hip-hop artists. “I was really confused. Mind you, I grew up a big girl and I grew up like, guys didn’t like me like that. Where I grew up, if you were fat, you were ugly, which, that’s not true. Fat doesn’t equal ugly, but where I grew up, that’s what it was. So, I was kind of invisible to all the guys. No one liked me in high school. One guy liked me in high school, and he was like, so ashamed that he would pass me notes. ‘Come and hook up with me at this place,” and I was like, ‘No, I’m not gonna do that. What the f*ck is wrong with you.'”
Lizzo continued: “When all this shifted, and I started getting these DMs, I was confused. I was like, ‘I don’t even know what this person’s intention is. I thought it was all friendly. People had to tell me, ‘Hey, no. This person is trying to f*ck you.’ I was like, ‘What?’ I’m so oblivious.”
As the clip has been circulating on social media, fans have been having mixed reactions. “This is exactly why you gotta be careful being nice to people cuz then they friends or delusions gon gas it despite what sense is telling them,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another questioned: “Every is a stretch. So, Jay Z?”
Lizzo’s interview with Benny Blanco comes after putting out a new music video for her latest single, “Don’t Make Me Love U,” earlier this month. She finished recording her fifth studio album, Love in Real Life, last year, but has yet to release it.
