Beyoncé is low-key letting her ideas be recognized in regards to the ongoing Lizzo lawsuit controversy by not mentioning the embattled singer! Actually! Reminiscence-holed AF!!
On Tuesday night time, the Queen Bey was acting at a live performance in Foxborough, Massachusetts to throngs of her adoring and uber-loyal followers. Throughout that present, she started to sing the ever-popular observe Break My Soul (The Queens Remix). However the lyrics — which give nods to different highly effective feminine musicians and singers — have been very, very curiously altered!!

Usually, essentially the most notable verse of that Beyoncé tune lists out a collection of highly effective Black performers previous and current with this memorable chorus:
“Rosetta Tharpe, Santigold, (Vogue) / Bessie Smith, Nina Simone (Vogue) / Betty Davis, Solange Knowles / Badu, Lizzo, Kelly Rowl’ (You recognize you are able to do it)”
However on Tuesday night time, it was TOTALLY totally different! And in essentially the most telling method!
In a really clear snub of Lizzo, Bey as an alternative selected to repeat Erykah Badu‘s title again and again throughout Tuesday’s stay present instead of the everyday closing portion of that verse. On the Massachusetts live performance, she sang:
“Betty Davis, Solange Knowles / Badu, Badu, Badu, Badu…”
A fan captured the second on X (Twitter) and revealed the shocking video for the entire world to see on Tuesday night time.
As you may see for your self (beneath), the video board nonetheless flashed Lizzo’s title within the regular, deliberate lyric order. So, the graphics weren’t modified. However Bey’s lyrics themselves have been VERY clearly altered:

OOF!!!
Lizzo is a large (HUGE!) Beyoncé fan and was impressed to get into music in no small half due to the Houston-born Future’s Youngster alum.
So, to have her idol snub her in such a public method throughout this already-tough time with accusations flying in from all angles have to be fairly painful for the Fact Hurts songstress. Yikes.
Reactions, Perezcious readers??
