Beyoncé Skips Over Lizzo Shoutout During Performance of “Break My Soul” Remix After She Was Accused of Sexual Harassment

The post Beyoncé Skips Over Lizzo Shoutout During Performance of “Break My Soul” Remix After She Was Accused of Sexual Harassment appeared first on Consequence.

Beyoncé appeared to drop Lizzo’s name from her “Break My Soul” remix while performing the song at the Boston stop of her “Renaissance World Tour” (get tickets here) on Tuesday night. The lyric change took place just hours after news broke that Lizzo has been sued by her former backup dancers for sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.

On the third verse of Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)” featuring Madonna, she name-drops Lizzo alongside other queens in the music industry like Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill, and Janet Jackson. During her performance of the song at Gillette Stadium, she repeated Erykah Badu’s name four times, replacing both Lizzo and former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland.

Lizzo and Kelly Rowland’s names were still displayed on the screen behind the stage. See the fan-shot footage below.

In their lawsuit, three women who used to perform as backup dancers for Lizzo alleged that she had pressured the dancers to attend a sex show in Amsterdam’s Red Light District and engage with the performers in an obscene fashion. After the news of the lawsuit came to light, other former dancers for Lizzo posted in their Instagram Stories that the allegations detailed in the lawsuit were “very much [their] experience.”

It’s worth noting that Beyoncé might have been firing back at Badu for recently shading her on social media. Badu apparently feels like a big, metallic wide-brim hat Beyoncé has worn while performing throughout the tour is similar to one she previously wore. “I guess I’m everybody stylist,” Badu wrote on her Instagram Story.

As the Beyhive was quick to point out, however, Beyoncé has been wearing large hats for years, particularly during her “Formation World Tour” back in 2016.

The “Renaissance World Tour” will next stop in DC for a pair of dates at FedEx Field. Be sure to read our recap of the first North American stop, and grab your last-minute tickets here.
