Britney Spears is reportedly upset over recent comments made by Lizzo, who suggested that Spears' performance style resembles that of Janet Jackson.
During an appearance on the Sibling Rivalry podcast, Lizzo stated, "Britney Spears is doing a Janet impression, and she said it," implying that Spears' artistry is heavily influenced by Jackson's.
According to a source close to Spears, the pop star is "very sensitive" and felt hurt by Lizzo's remarks. The source added, "It hurt her. She looks intentional and doesn't understand why Lizzo would want to go for her. She’s never said anything against Lizzo so that’s crazy."
The insider also mentioned that Spears is hesitant to respond, as she doesn't want to involve Janet Jackson, whom she deeply respects.
Spears has previously expressed admiration for Jackson. In a now-deleted Instagram post, she referred to Jackson as someone who has kept her "dreams and heart alive," and described her as "the deepest and brightest woman."
Lizzo's comments have sparked backlash from Spears' fans on social media, with many defending Spears' originality and influence in pop music.
The controversy adds to ongoing discussions about the recognition of Black artists' contributions to the genre.
