AceShowbiz - Lizzo has publicly addressed the ongoing rumours suggesting a feud between her and fellow artist Taylor Swift. The singer expressed frustration over the persistent speculation and made it clear she wants the topic to be laid to rest once and for all.

The controversy dates back to claims of a showbiz spat between the two stars around three years ago. However, Lizzo has repeatedly dismissed these rumours, emphasizing that she does not engage in negative talk about other musicians, including the Shake It Off singer. She has also highlighted her commitment to not competing against fellow artists in the industry.

Her recent response came after a social media user on X (formerly Twitter) attempted to compare streaming figures between the two. The user posted numbers referencing Lizzo's songs "The Life Of A Showgirl" and "MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING" totaling 4.005 million streams, and contrasted them with "ICEMAN," "MAID OF HONOUR," and "HABIBTI," which collectively had 683,000 streams.

When Lizzo sought clarity about the user's point, another commenter accused her of trash-talking, which they claimed negatively impacted her streaming numbers compared to Taylor Swift. Lizzo firmly denied ever speaking ill of any artist, reiterating that mentioning another artist’s name does not equate to badmouthing them. She urged fans and critics alike to "grow the f*** up" and move beyond such discussions.

Known for her hit tracks "Truth Hurts" and "About Damn Time," Lizzo is currently preparing to release new music after a pause caused by a lengthy legal battle. Her upcoming album is scheduled for release on June 5 and is titled B***h. The album’s title track draws inspiration from Meredith Brooks’ feminist anthem of the same name.

In addition, the album will feature a nod to Missy Elliott’s song, "She’s a B***h," which aligns with Lizzo's mission to reclaim and empower the term. She has praised both Brooks and Elliott for transforming the word into a symbol of female empowerment rather than an insult.

Lizzo has expressed hope that her new album will further empower women through its bold themes and messaging. The forthcoming release marks a significant moment in her career as she returns to music after overcoming previous challenges.
