"Hey this isn't about tuna salad but how do you feel about Nicki Minaj?" the fan asked. Lizzo said she had taken time to look into the situation and began by downplaying the broader impact of celebrity opinions. She told viewers that “celebrities’ opinions of other celebrities does not matter” before expanding on what she sees as a wider pattern.
Lizzo suggested that Minaj’s actions may reflect a growing trend driven by financial incentives rather than ideology.
She also warned fans to brace themselves for disappointment as public figures continue to reveal unexpected political allegiances.
The singer concluded by emphasising what she believes motivates such decisions. "And you have to know that, like, there's money behind everything. There are privileges behind every move people in these positions make and I'm not surprised," she said.
Lizzo’s remarks come shortly after she shared a separate video addressing a recent legal victory, continuing a period of heightened public engagement with fans on social media.
