Lizzo Gay: It’s been said that it’s your confidence and self-acceptance that lead to your success in every industry. This statement is accurately proven by American rapper and singer Lizzo. Known for delivering chartbusters in hip-hop music, the musician has won four Grammy Awards. Be it Lizzobangers or Cuz I Love You, the 35-year-old has gained immense mainstream success. Apart from singing, Lizzo has also tried her fate in rapping and worked as an actor as well. In 2009, she landed in a crime comedy-drama film, Hustlers. While most singers remain in the media spotlight for their works, Lizzo is an exception. Over the years, she has been a subject of discussion concerning her sexuality. There’s no second thought that her fans never step back to praise her work. But there are times when Lizzo Gay speculations bring about a storm on the Internet. So is Lizzo gay? Hence it has led to the birth of various online theories. Here’s the entire backstory!
Is Lizzo Gay? What Is Her Actual Sexuality?
After mainstream success and global attention, Lizzo gained much glory and popularity. Many a time, she has sat down to discuss her projects and albums. But she has also opened up about her sexual orientation in her interviews. She also considers herself a positive ally for the LGBTQ community. Netizens have also spotted her performing in pride festivals that eventually sparked Lizzo Gay rumors. But, the singer didn’t hold anything back while addressing her identity in 2018.
In an interview with The Vogue, Lizzo explained her sexuality. Speaking candidly, the American singing star said that she doesn’t ascribe to one thing. She is not in favor of sitting at a place and sticking to just one identity. Supporting her views, Lizzo mentioned the colors of LGBTQ+ that signify a rainbow. She explained how a spectrum results in a beautiful rainbow and believes it describes her. But the current scenario is trying to keep things black and white. Lizzo does not support the latter fact and personally discards it.
Therefore it is unclear whether or not Lizzo Gay is true. Some media reports suggest her to be bisexual in real life. However, the ‘Special’ singer has not confined herself to a single category. But she calls herself queer. Thus, relying on uncertain facts is a bit risky. This is because she hasn’t yet opened up about her romantic life. There’s no doubt that the Detroit-born rapper has gained amassed a huge fan following among the queer community. The Queer fanbase has led Lizzo to a different yet unique image in the hip-hop music industry.
‘Special’ Album Hints At Her Sexuality!
In 2022, the American hip-hop artist released an album called Special. The tracks allegedly confirmed her gender identity and sexuality. One of the songs, ‘About Damn Time,’ seems to be giving an indirect hint about her sexual orientation. The track is already considered to be a global hit. But, a few parts of the lyrics says much about her preference. The short line shows her fluidity in being compatible with both men and women. However, it did not give a clear sign to the public.
But another song from the album titled “Everybody’s Gay’ hinted Lizzo to be gay in real life. The lyrics have been used in such a way that one can believe the singer does not have a straight preference. Moreover, the artist has gone through homophobia in her life, but her experience inspires her to make a change in society.
Did Lizzo Have Sexual Conversations With Rihanna?
Every popular artist has a dark secret and some tangy history associated with their lives. And the American singer Lizzo also had one. The Grammy Award winner rapper opened up about some spicy conversations with Rihanna. In one of the episodes of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Lizzo revealed an unexpected experience of hers. When a fan asked her about any potential collaborations with Rihanna, Lizzo explicitly explained having sexual conversations with her. So is Lizzo Gay? While the Detroit-born did not speak clearly about exchanging words on sex, but already gave a hot topic for the Internet to discuss.
Further, as the interview continued, Cohen asked Lizzo about some celeb names who slid into her DMs. Initially, she hesitated to highlight some names, but then she popped up with Rihanna again. The Cuz I Love You singer clarified that flirty exchanges slowed down after Rihanna got pregnant. For the unknown, the latter has been dating Rocky for years, and they expected their first child. They welcomed a baby boy this May.
Lizzo Gay: Why Is She Accused Of Sexual Harassment?
Pop star Lizzo is currently a part of media headlines because of a sexual harassment case. She is being sued by three former dancers who accused her of assault. According to the complaint filed in a Los Angeles court, Noelle Rodriguez, Arianna Davis, and Crystal Williams were forced to perform in an uncomfortable environment. It led to several theories, making fans believe in Lizzo Gay rumors. The singer is claimed to have fat-shamed them and even pressurized Davis to touch a nude performer’s breasts. Lizzo, who has always been known as an advocate for body positivity, passed negative comments and criticized the dancer’s weight.
The filed suit also claimed Lizzo’s dance captain, Shirlene Quigley, to have imposed her Christian beliefs on performers present at the club in Amsterdam. She even discussed premarital sex, sexual fantasies, and performers’ virginity. A few of the statements made by media officials clearly show disregard for the nature of how Lizzo and her team treated the dancers and other performers. But the suit has not specified any certain amount charged for compensating the emotional distress. Further, former employees have also supported the lawsuit, including Sofia Nahli Allison.
Lizzo Has Always Faced Body-Shaming Comments!
Originally named Melissa Viviane Jefferson, Lizzo has been the subject of never-ending discussion of body shaming due to her curves and obesity. Throughout her career, the singer has witnessed several negative comments about her looks and appearance. However, the 35-year-old has never been spotted stressed about her extra body fat. As of now, Lizzo is one of the greatest examples of an individual who supports body positivity. She also supports self-confidence and self-love at the same time.
Talking about her vision, it is the Internet that has changed her narrative about overweight women. In December 2019, the singer sparked controversy for dancing to one of her songs. Well, the dance seemed fine. The issue was actually something else. People criticized her dress which revealed her thong during the dance moves. On the work front, Lizzo traveled to several locations during the tour in 2023. She has already been to North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Last year she returned to Saturday Night Live as a musical guest.
