SHOW NOTES Sup non patreon subscribing losers…here is the first half of our 2 hour episode in which we talk about Lizzo and take a personality test which plunges us into the depths of history, malice, and the corrupting force of power.
When will Lizzo be brought to justice for her multitude of crimes?
worker-hating
Monday night in mid-September when Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, used Postmates to place an order from Luke’s Lobster in Boston, Massachusetts. Her meal was supposed to be delivered to the Revere Hotel, but Lizzo had used the pseudonym “Bonnie V” on her order, and she hadn’t included a room number.
The driver, Tiffany Wells, said she tried to contact “Bonnie V” on the phone number she’d provided, and she also spoke to the Revere staffers at the front desk, but they told her that no “Bonnie V” was listed as a guest. After waiting another five minutes, she rolled out, taking the Luke’s delivery with her.
“Hey @Postmates this girl Tiffany W. stole my food she lucky I don’t fight no more,” she wrote in a now-deleted tweet, one that included a screenshot of Wells’ picture from the Postmates app. Lizzo also tweeted that Wells walked into the hotel, “clocked it as delivered, then walked out with food in hand […] She clearly knew what she was doing and I just don’t want someone else to get they shit stole too.”
According to Wells’ lawsuit, which was first obtained by Pitchfork, some of Lizzo’s fans and followers started making threats against her. ("[m]e pulling up to Tiffany’s house and stomping on her ass bc she deprived my baby lizzo of her food,” one example cited in the filing said.)
plagiarist
After years of back-and-forth over claims that she plagiarized the song’s now-iconic lyric, “I just took a DNA test, turns out, I’m 100 percent that bitch,” the pop performer took to Instagram on Wednesday to clarify her inspiration for the song. “As I’ve shared before, in 2017, while working on a demo, I saw a meme that resonated with me, a meme that made me feel like 100% that bitch,” she wrote. “I sang that line in the demo, and I later used that line in Truth Hurts.” When the Twitter user who allegedly originated the line in a tweet, @MinaLioness, previously called out Lizzo in February 2018, Lizzo told them, “I’ve never seen ur viral tweet but I’m glad it exists.” @MinaLioness replied, “I am the creator of that meme, and writer credit lands here.” And as of today, the credit has indeed landed: “I just took a DNA Test, turns out I’m a credited writer for the number one song on Billboard,” they tweeted.

“We live in a culture that demands accountability, especially from our public figures. You and I are not excluded from that, we’ve both known our fair share of backlash. I have seen backlash sometimes about your policies being anti-Black,” Lizzo said in her very first question. “How do you feel about that, and how does that inform your campaign for VP so that Black people feel heard?”
In response, Harris touched on her work in California, and explained that her career was driven from a desire to “to go inside the system to see if I could fix it from the inside.”
“We really ought to know the power that we have in every place, and never decide that any one place is excluded from us being there to get the kind of change that we want,” she said. “So I made the decision to go up the rough side of the mountain, to go inside the system, but I also understand the brilliance of being outside of the system when you have the brilliance of Black Lives Matter and that movement and what it has done to force change.”
“The moral of the story is vote, vote, vote, vote, vote,” Lizzo said after their call was over. “Do not be discouraged. Do not feel swayed either way but just use your voice, period.”
