Lizzo Opens Up About Fame, Friendship, and the Dangers of Diet Culture
Grammy-winning artist Lizzo is known for her powerful voice, infectious energy, and unapologetic confidence—but in a recent candid reflection, she opened up about the personal cost of fame and the pressures that come with being in the public eye.
Speaking on how her rise to stardom has impacted her personal life, Lizzo shared that many of her friendships have changed since she became famous. “Fame changes people—and not always in the way you think,” she said. “Sometimes the people around you change more than you do.” She emphasized that while fame can offer incredible opportunities, it can also isolate you from those you once felt closest to.
Lizzo didn’t stop there. She also had words of caution for those chasing the spotlight. “Fame isn’t what it looks like on the outside,” she warned. For aspiring artists and influencers, she advised taking a hard look at what they really want—because with fame comes scrutiny, pressure, and often, loneliness.
Another topic close to Lizzo’s heart is body image. Never one to shy away from confronting societal beauty standards, she called out the obsession with calorie counting and restrictive dieting, warning of the dangers such behavior can lead to, including eating disorders. “It’s not healthy to be obsessed with food in that way,” she explained. “We need to stop equating worth with weight.”
Lizzo has long been a vocal advocate for body positivity and mental health, frequently speaking out against fatphobia and the constant commentary about her body. She continues to challenge toxic beauty norms and encourages her fans to embrace themselves as they are.
Through her platform, Lizzo remains committed to promoting authenticity, self-love, and resilience in the face of public pressure—proving that her message goes far beyond music.
