The Grammy-winning musician Lizzo is openly discussing the subtleties of her international success and the largely white fan base that frequently accompanies it.
The 34-year-old music sensation, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, gave an exclusive interview to Vanity Fair for their November cover story, sharing details about her musical path and motivations.
Lizzo brazenly declared that she doesn’t write songs with a particular racial audience in mind, even though she has achieved great levels of fame.
Rather, her music serves as a means of self-healing from life’s hardships and is a true representation of her Black experience.
Despite having R&B, hip-hop, and gospel roots,
Lizzo has unquestionably influenced pop music with songs like “Juice,” “Good As Hell,” and the most recent one, “About Damn Time.”
