In an interview with Vanity Fair, Lizzo firmly denied making music for a “white audience,” emphasizing that her work reflects her experience as a Black woman. Her songs, which blend elements of R&B, hip-hop, and gospel, have gained widespread popularity, including hits like “Good as Hell” and “About Damn Time.”
Despite their success, Lizzo admitted feeling uneasy about her songs being more embraced by white audiences. “The problem is that the audience will be overwhelmingly white once a Black artist achieves a certain level of fame,” she explained. This dynamic has led some Black listeners to feel disconnected, thinking, “This isn’t for me.”
She responded to critics by reiterating, “I am not making music for white people. I’m using my experiences as a Black person to create music.” Lizzo remains committed to expressing her identity through her artistry.
