Lizzo Addresses Cancellation, Career Backlash
May 16, 2025
For Lizzo, it doesn’t feel good as hell to receive backlash.
As the Grammy winner recently explained, while she’s used to being the subject of harsh criticism, she’s learning to take it with grace.
“I’ve been cancelled a lot,” she said on the May 14 episode of Therapuss with Jake Shane. “I shouldn’t say I’ve been cancelled, because I’m still going, but I’ve gotten backlash a lot.”
She added, “Literally every single time I’ve received backlash I use it as a growing and learning lesson.”
For the “Juice” singer, her first experience facing backlash stemmed from syncing her song “Good as Hell” to Weight Watchers after Oprah Winfrey bought the company.
“It was like, ‘Oprah wants to use your song,’” Lizzo recalled. “I lost my mind. I was like, ‘Oh my god Oprah knows who I am!’ I was like, ‘Yes! Yes.’”
Though her emotions quickly took a turn. “I remember posting the commercial because I was so proud and everybody was like, ‘You’re f–king joking right, like this is promoting eating disorders,’” she told Jake. “And I was like, ‘Oh my god.’ It broke my heart. It truly broke my heart.”
