.lizzo explains why she changed a controversial lyric in new single Grrrls
of the word “sp*z” in the song’s opening verse, calling it a derogatory term.
“Breakfast Club” host Charlamagne tha God told Lizzo he was “mad” at her for changing the lyrics to suit fans’ demands. “Words matter,” he said, rattling off“It’s a nuanced conversation,” Lizzo responded. “For me, everybody is talking about it now, there are think pieces everywhere. I thought, what’s the best thing I can do? I can say my opinion on it and just add to everyone’s opinion or I can do something about it.
While Charlamagne protested that Lizzo used the term in the “proper context,” co-host Angela Yee pointed out that the singer was providing an example for how easily it is to course-correct when one’s actions hurt people. Lizzo agreed, and also noted that intentions matter because she wasn’t using the word as a slur. “I didn’t use it as a slur and I think the backlash of ‘you’ve lost a fan,’ is unnecessary when someone’s intentions wasn’t negative or harmful,” she added.
