In a candid interview, Grammy-winning artist Lizzo shared her experiences with fellow musicians who treated her differently after she rose to fame.
She recounted an incident at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), where an artist she had previously performed with questioned her presence at the event.
Later, the same individual approached her for a collaboration, highlighting the shift in their attitude.
"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 the same year they were, and they were like, ‘What are you doing here?’" Lizzo recalled.
This revelation sheds light on the challenges artists face as they navigate the complexities of the music industry and the evolving nature of professional relationships.
Despite such experiences, Lizzo has received support from prominent figures in the industry.
Following her performance at the 2019 VMAs, Rihanna sent her a direct message praising her act. "She said I f—ed the stage like it was my side b—," Lizzo shared, expressing her admiration for Rihanna's candid compliment.
Lizzo's journey underscores the importance of authenticity and resilience in the face of changing perceptions and industry dynamics.
