The latest performance by superstar Beyoncé on her “Renaissance” tour in Boston brought about a curious omission. As she sang “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix),” the audience expected to hear Lizzo’s name as part of the lyrics, but the nod was conspicuously absent.
The surprising deviation was particularly noticeable, as Beyoncé has historically mentioned Lizzo multiple times in the same song.
Possible Reasons: Lawsuit Allegations and Fashion Disputes
Recent news suggests this change in lyrics might not be a simple coincidence. Lizzo, the “Truth Hurts” singer, has recently come under fire from a group of former backup dancers, who have filed a lawsuit against her.
The lawsuit, loaded with scandalous claims such as forcing the dancers to perform in nude shows and body-shaming one dancer over a weight issue, was buzzing around the internet, leading some to speculate that Beyoncé was aware and decided to drop Lizzo from her performance.
However, an alternative theory is tied to an ongoing feud between Beyoncé and Erykah Badu. Badu recently accused Beyoncé of imitating her iconic fashion style, prompting an online stir. Some saw Beyoncé’s decision to mention Erykah Badu four times during the same performance as a possible response to the controversy. Whatever the true reason, it’s clear that Beyoncé’s concert in Boston has sparked a whirlwind of speculation and intrigue.
