Beyoncé Removes Lizzo's Name From 'break My Soul' Remix After Lawsuit

Beyoncé has stirred up some controversy after she seemingly snubbed Lizzo in her latest concert. The pop icon performed her "Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)" at the Gillette Stadium in Foxboro on Tuesday, but she left out Lizzo's name from the lyrics, which usually celebrate Black women in the entertainment industry. According to several videos posted on social media, Beyoncé skipped over Lizzo's name and instead repeated Erykah Badu's name four times as Lizzo's name flashed on the screen behind her. The original lyrics of the song include Lizzo's name alongside other influential artists like Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill, Nicki Minaj, Betty Davis, and Solange Knowles. The decision to omit Lizzo's name came just hours after three of her former dancers filed a lawsuit against her for personal misconduct and racial harassment, as well as creating a hostile work environment. The lawsuit alleges that Lizzo pressured one of the dancers to touch a performer at a club in Amsterdam, body-shamed another dancer for gaining weight, and treated the Black members of the dance team differently than other members. Some fans speculated that Beyoncé was taking a stand against Lizzo in light of the allegations against her, while others suggested that she was simply changing up the lyrics for fun or to avoid legal issues. However, some sources claimed that Beyoncé's move had nothing to do with

Lizzo's lawsuit, but rather with her own feud with Erykah Badu. Badu recently accused Beyoncé of copying her style and wearing similar outfits on stage. Badu said that she felt "disrespected" by Beyoncé's "imitation" and that she wanted her to "give credit where credit is due." Some believe that Beyoncé was responding to Badu's remarks by giving her extra shout-outs in the song. Beyoncé has not commented on the lyric change or the reason behind it. The internet had mixed reactions to Beyoncé's apparent diss of Lizzo. Some praised Beyoncé for distancing herself from Lizzo and showing support for Badu, while others criticized her for being petty and disrespectful. Some also defended Lizzo and said that she was innocent until proven guilty and that Beyoncé should not judge her based on rumors. Here are some of the tweets from fans: “Beyoncé is so shady for removing Lizzo's name from Break My Soul. She should have kept it classy and stayed neutral." “Beyoncé is a queen for replacing Lizzo's name with Erykah Badu. She knows who the real legends are." @Beyoncé is wrong for doing Lizzo like that. She doesn't know what really happened and she shouldn't jump to conclusions." “Beyoncé is smart for avoiding any association with Lizzo. She doesn't need that drama in her life." “Beyoncé is hilarious for trolling Erykah Badu like that. She doesn't care what anyone thinks of her."
