Lizzo delivers impassioned speech supporting trans women at Pride performance

BBG News

At the OUTLOUD LGBTQIA+ Pride festival in West Hollywood Park, Lizzo passionately addressed the crowd on Saturday evening, expressing solidarity with black transgender women.

The 37-year-old rapper-singer-flutist expressed on the main stage that this is meant for you, but especially for black trans women whose struggles have enabled us to celebrate today.

And here we are, facing challenges, correct? However, I hope that someday, past this difficult phase, we’ll find ourselves in a place where we won’t need to struggle just to survive. This wish is for you.

1. ‘And we still in some s, right?’ > Here we are facing challenges, correct?
2. ‘But hopefully one day, beyond this motherfing rainbow bi,’ > However, I hope that someday, past this difficult phase,
3. ‘we will see a place where we no longer have to fight to exist.’ > we’ll find ourselves in a place where we won’t need to struggle just to survive.
4. ‘This is for you.’ > This wish is for you.

In simpler terms, Lizzo (originally Melissa Jefferson) later played a more minimalistic rendition of the iconic song “Over the Rainbow,” which was first sung in the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, accompanied by a pianist.

Four-time Grammy award winner showcased her shapewear label in a unique ensemble: a black-studded Yitty top, denim shorts reminiscent of Daisy Dukes, and a red faux fur maxi-coat chosen by stylists Wayman + Micah.

For that special occasion, the talented hairstylist, Jared Henderson, styled Lizzo’s lush hairdo, while makeup artist Alexx Mayo accentuated her facial features with expert contouring.

On a Sunday, the artist known as Still Bad, with over 44 million followers across social media, also commended the transgender community for their courageous struggle against oppressive systems that aimed to eliminate them.

To pay tribute to that struggle, it’s crucial for us to persist in resisting the exact same system which jeopardizes our freedoms related to personal autonomy and liberation. As Lizzo pointed out, we won’t truly be free until everyone is.

Born in Detroit and raised in Houston, the celebrated star unveiled her well-known voluptuous 5 ft 10 in frame in just a sleek black Yitty bra and underwear, having successfully achieved her weight loss target on January 16.

Currently, Lizzo has significantly reduced her Body Mass Index (BMI) by approximately 10.5 units and shed around 16% of her total body fat. However, she chooses not to disclose the exact number of pounds she’s managed to lose since 2023.

Last week on The Jason Lee Show, the singer from Love in Real Life expressed that if they were to mention a number, they didn’t believe many people would be able to perform the necessary calculations.

I’ve been watching a lot of TikTok videos lately that claim Lizzo discusses her 500-pound weight loss. It seems people are quick to assign numbers to others, and it bothers me a bit.

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share a perspective about Lizzo, whose Halloween costume was inspired by Ozempic. Although she hasn’t explicitly confirmed or denied using this trendy GLP-1 medication intended for type 2 diabetes management, her reaction to the rumors last September was quite expressive – a subtle roll of the eyes.

As a lifestyle expert, I find myself sharing the news that an Emmy-winning producer will inevitably confront her previous dance colleagues – Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez – in a jury trial at Santa Monica Courthouse. This is due to their ongoing lawsuit alleging sexual, religious, and racial harassment against her.

Lizzo has vehemently denied all of their allegations.
