Lizzo, the Grammy-winning artist, is candidly addressing the nuances of her crossover success and the predominantly white fanbase that often comes with it.

In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair for its November cover story, the 34-year-old music sensation, born Melissa Viviane Jefferson, shared insights into her artistic journey and the purpose behind her music. Lizzo boldly stated that despite reaching high levels of popularity, she doesn’t create music with a specific racial audience in mind. Instead, her music is an authentic expression of her Black experience—a form of personal healing from life’s challenges.

While Lizzo’s musical roots are grounded in R&B, hip-hop, and gospel, she has undeniably made an impact in the pop genre with hits like “Juice,” “Good As Hell,” and the recent “About Damn Time.” Despite garnering a diverse fanbase, including many white fans following her breakthrough in 2019 with “Cuz I Luv You,” Lizzo emphasized that her primary audience is Black women.

Lizzo passionately expressed, “We need self-love and self-love anthems more than anybody.” Her music aims to resonate with Black women who, like her, have faced underappreciation, bullying, and societal pressures. She finds it perplexing when critics question her commitment to creating music from a Black perspective, considering it an inherent aspect of her identity as a Black artist.

Touching on her recent controversy involving Founding Father James Madison’s 200-year-old crystal flute, Lizzo believes there is still significant progress needed for Black women in America. She candidly shared her feelings of hopelessness, stating that throughout history, Black women have not been treated fairly or with respect. Lizzo sees hope emerging when those with privilege take accountability, emphasizing the need for progress, particularly for individuals like herself, a fat Black woman.

A newly surfaced image of pop superstar Ariana Grande has ignited fresh concerns about her health, with fans taking to social media to express worry over her noticeably thin frame.

While attending the BAFTA Film Awards to sign autographs, the Grammy-winning singer appeared strikingly slim, leading to a flood of online discussions.

One concerned fan took to Reddit, writing, “I just hope she’s okay. If I were in her shoes and had people constantly commenting on my body, I’d struggle too.” Another user added, “Every new picture shocks me all over again.” A third posted, “It’s heartbreaking to watch this unfold.”

Medical experts caution that extreme thinness, including prominent bones and hollowed cheeks, can indicate underlying health concerns such as malnutrition. Insufficient nutrition can lead to decreased energy, weakened immunity, muscle loss, and even serious complications like poor wound healing and increased susceptibility to infections.

Some fans have speculated that her demanding filming schedule may have contributed to her current condition. In an interview with The New York Times, Grande and co-star Cynthia Erivo acknowledged the grueling work conditions on the Wicked set, revealing that both had contracted COVID-19 during production.

Grande recalled pushing through illness, saying, “I came to set with a mask on my final days of recovery to learn the hallway finale.” Erivo admitted she was relieved when the actors’ strike paused production in 2023, confessing, “We worked ourselves to the bone. That break was the rest we desperately needed.”

Grande compared the invasive remarks to uncomfortable family gatherings, stating, “It’s like when you go to Thanksgiving and someone’s grandma says, ‘You look thinner, what happened?’ or ‘You look heavier, what happened?’ It’s invasive and unpleasant, no matter who you are.”

She urged people to think twice before commenting on others’ appearances: “There’s a level of comfort people have in talking about others’ bodies that we just shouldn’t have.”

Pushing Back Against Critics

In 2023, Grande directly responded to body shamers in a candid TikTok video. She insisted that, despite public perception, her current weight reflects a healthier version of herself.
