Lizzo Celebrates Pride By Performing With Drag Queens In California

by

Lizzo has had a rough go of it recently, but she’s not letting anything keep her down. The pop star recently made a post about how tired she is of the constant comments about her weight. Although she has achieved tremendous success, she still faces persistent negativity about her body. This is particularly true on social media. In late May, Lizzo took to social media to express her exasperation regarding the ongoing scrutiny of her weight. Instead of recognizing her artistic achievements, some individuals persistently fixate on her body size. Lizzo revealed that she had come across a tweet questioning how she could maintain a larger physique despite her lively and energetic stage performances.

Understandably, Lizzo expressed her annoyance at encountering such comments on a daily basis. “I JUST logged on and the app and this is the type of sh*t I see about me on a daily basis,” Lizzo wrote. “It’s really starting to make me hate the world. Then someone in the comments said I eat ‘lots of fast food’ I LITERALLY STOPPED EATING FAST FOOD YEARS AGO… I’m tired of explaining myself all the time and I just wanna get on this app w/out seeing my name in some bullsh*t. Yall speak on sh*t y’all know NOTHING ABOUT and I’m starting to get heated.” Luckily, Lizzo doesn’t let the hate keep her from living her life, even if it might get her heated sometimes.

Lizzo: “Happy Pride, B*tch!”

Lizzo made a bold statement in support of the LGBTQ community at her recent concert in Thousand Palms, California. This particular show marked the beginning of Pride Month. In a video shared on her social media accounts, Lizzo energetically waved a pride flag while passionately. While doing so, she declared, “Drag should not be criminalized.” Surrounding her were drag performers Kim Chi, Angeria Paris Van Michaels, Kahanna Montrese, and Tenderoni, a drag king. Lizzo’s accompanying caption expressed her enduring solidarity. She used emojis of the transgender flag and rainbow flag to convey her wishes for a joyful Pride Month.

This display of support is in line with Lizzo’s previous vocal affirmations of her alliance with the LGBTQ community. When Tennessee passed a law against drag performances, Lizzo chose to perform in the state and create a safe space to celebrate drag artists. In response to Nebraska’s prohibition on gender-affirming healthcare for young transgender individuals, Lizzo empathized with the plight of these young people. She offered herself as a sanctuary where they can be their authentic selves, dismissing discriminatory laws as inconsequential. Through her words and actions, Lizzo continues to advocate for acceptance, self-expression, and the rights of the LGBTQ community. What do you think of Lizzo’s latest show of support for the community? Let us know in the comments!

Latto Leaves Fan’s Jaw On The Floor With Her Twerking: Watch

by

Latto is determined to present nothing but the finest onstage fashion. She certainly did not disappoint with her latest stylish ensemble. The 24-year-old songstress shared a series of captivating photos on her Instagram a few days ago. The post showed the rapper adorned in Valentino attire. Latto is currently accompanying Lizzo on the “Special 2our”, and she is seizing the opportunity to deliver remarkable performances that leave a lasting impression. She treated her followers to a glimpse of her dancing in the Valentino outfit during one of her concerts. Fully decked out in a crop top, skirt, knee-high boots, and form-fitting gloves, the rapper mesmerized the crowd.

Latto’s live performances have been on fire lately. Following her outstanding sets at Coachella earlier this year, she graced fans with her presence at Pharrell’s Something In The Water Festival in Virginia Beach. Adding to the excitement, she invited a lucky fan onstage for a lap dance, continuing the recent trend of increased audience interaction and participation during her shows.

Latto Leaves Young Fan In Shock

In a new video from one of Latto’s sets, a fan is in shock after seeing her twerking skills. In the video, she gyrates wildly as the camera focuses on her before turning to show the reaction of a fan. The boy, who looks to be quite young, has his mouth wide open in shock. It’s a hilarious reaction, and he was surely not the only one who felt that way. It is interesting that this is taking place on Lizzo’s tour as Latto and Lizzo do seem to be on two very different wavelengths. Perhaps that’s why the fan was so shocked. Either way, it’s safe to say the performance had the intended effect.

Latto’s success in the live performances and tour circuit is evident. The rapper continues to thrive, even with some controversies here and there. Recently, she achieved an extremely significant milestone in the realm of digital streaming platforms. Latto surpassed 1 billion total streams on Spotify. While her viral presence occasionally originates from sources outside of her artistic endeavors, it is her music that serves as the true testament to her fame. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest Latto news. Make sure to let us know what you think in the comments!

Lizzo Asks Fans To Stop Bringing Chris Evans Pictures To Tour

by

Lizzo has made it clear that she is committed to her current boyfriend. The singer has issued a humorous public service announcement to her fans about how they should behave accordingly. In an Instagram post on Friday, Lizzo paused her concert to express gratitude to her fans in the audience. Mor specifically, she thanked the fans who brought posters of her boyfriend, actor Myke Wright. She shared an incident from a previous show, as well. Apparently, she had to address some fans who kept bringing posters of Captain America actor Chris Evans.

“Chris Evans is not my man. My man is Myke Wright,” Lizzo clarified. “He’s incredibly attractive, and I want to see his handsome face when I’m on stage.” However, she captioned the video with a playful plea to her fans. In it, she asked them not to bring giant pictures of her boyfriend since she doesn’t have enough storage. She did take the time to thank specific fans named Rene and Lucy, though. It is understandable why fans would be bringing pictures of Chris Evans, however.

It is worth noting that Lizzo has had a history of mentioning Chris Evans. In 2021, she posted a TikTok video titled “Don’t Drink & DM.” In the video, she confessed that after having a few drinks, she sent a direct message to the Marvel actor. She said that she may or may not have been flirting with him. Lizzo expressed her disappointment because she knew she couldn’t marry him and praised his rare qualities. To her surprise, Chris Evans responded to her message and showed kindness. Lizzo updated her TikTok followers, revealing that he followed her back on Instagram and wrote, “No shame in a drunk DM. God knows I’ve done worse on this app.”

Lizzo has never been shy about her admiration for Chris Evans. In 2019, when Lizzo shared a video of a young girl showcasing impressive dance moves to her song “Juice,” Chris Evans retweeted the post, commenting that the kid was cooler than he could ever hope to be. Lizzo playfully responded, “Wow, marry me.” What do you think of Lizzo’s latest funny statement? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to HNHH for all the latest Lizzo updates.

Lizzo Postpones Another Tour Date Due To Illness

by

The strain of Lizzo’s hectic schedule is beginning to show. The artist has been keeping busy with shows all over the continent. She also recently attended the Met Gala in New York. Lizzo is currently in the midst of the second leg of her “Special” tour, which began in Knoxville, Tennessee. She invited several local drag queens to perform with her on stage during the show’s finale, which was a daring act of defiance against the state’s ongoing legal ban on drag. Lizzo’s actions are proof that the local drag scene is thriving despite the ban.

Lizzo shared the event with her followers on social media and thanked the drag queens for representing Tennessee with such pride. A rainbow of hearts was present in the background of the video, and her followers and fellow queens flooded the comments section with sincere messages of thanks. On her tour, Lizzo will visit Louisiana, Missouri, and Memphis. Currently, Missouri is attempting to pass legislation that would make adult cabaret performances on public property illegal. Meanwhile, Louisiana, a state with a conservative lean, may do the same in the future. Unfortunately, Lizzo’s prideful prowess has taken a hit after she got sick following the Met Gala.

Lizzo’s Mature Health Response

Late last week, Lizzo posted a video to her Instagram to speak directly to fans. In the video, she explains that she is extremely sick. As such, her Montreal date had to be postponed. Sadly for Lizzo fans, the same happened to her Hartford, CT date just a few days later. The pop star once again took to social media to explain the situation. “Hello Hartford, it is me. As you know, I canceled my Montreal show ’cause I was experiencing extreme flu-like symptoms,” Lizzo said. “I tested for COVID and it’s negative. However, I did test positive for strep throat. Though I’m feeling stronger, my body, my throat is still extremely raw and swollen.”

Although it is disappointing news, Lizzo points out that it is for the best. “In the past, I have pushed myself because I always want to bring you guys an incredible show. And I want to bring you guys the best of me,” she added. “And I’m realizing as I mature that this is not the best of me. I need to heal so that I can be the artist that you guys deserve and maintain my body. Still hurts to swallow, still hurts to speak, but it really hurts to cancel.” Stay tuned to HNHH for updates on Lizzo’s concert schedule.

Lizzo Cancels Montreal Concert Over Health Concerns

Lizzo’s insane schedule may finally be catching up with her. Between rushing to New York to attend the Met Gala to touring around the continent, she’s kept pretty busy. The artist is currently in the midst of the second leg of her Special tour. It started at the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, TN. During the show’s climax, she brought several drag queens from the area onstage to perform with her. It was a bold and daring act of defiance against the current legal situation surrounding drag in the state. Despite the ban, reports indicate that the local drag scene is thriving. Lizzo’s actions serve as evidence of this.

Lizzo took to social media to share the moment with her followers. She expressed gratitude towards the drag queens for showcasing their pride in Tennessee. The singer captioned the video with a rainbow of hearts, and her fans and fellow queens flooded the comments with heartfelt messages, clearly moved by Lizzo’s actions. Lizzo’s tour will take her to Memphis, Tennessee, as well as Missouri and Louisiana. Missouri is currently trying to pass a law that would criminalize adult cabaret performances on public property, while Louisiana, being a conservative-leaning state, may see anti-drag legislation in the future.

Lizzo’s Unscheduled Break

Lizzo’s busy schedule seems to be impacting her health, as evidenced by recent events. Despite being on tour and performing at major events such as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and the 2023 Met Gala, she was unable to perform at her scheduled concert in Montreal due to health concerns. Initially, news of her flu-like symptoms was shared on Twitter, but her profile is now private. In a video posted on her official Instagram, Lizzo apologized to her fans and confirmed that she would not be performing.

“I had a sore throat last night and a headache and went to bed,” Lizzo said in the video. “I woke up this morning, and my body is weak, and I have chills, and my head hurts. Normally, if it’s just a cold, I’d shower, I’d eat, take some medicine, and it gets better. But this is getting worse.” Lizzo remained apologetic throughout the video, telling fans that she would find a new day to play the city. “I think it’s the flu, and I have to make the unfortunate decision to cancel today. I want to find a date to reschedule, but I just can’t perform tonight.” Stay tuned to HNHH for more updates on Lizzo’s tour.
