Lizzo recently talked about how she was picked on at school because of music she liked. “It was a Black school,” said Grammy winner in a new interview with Vanity Fair. My Skin hit-maker explained, “Mostly Black and brown, Caribbean, I had Nigerian friends.

They were all listening to what was on radio-Usher, Destiny’s Child, Ludacris and I was into Radiohead’s OK Computer.” “I kept it hidden, even when I was in a rock band, because I didn’t want to be made fun of by my peers they’d yell, ‘White girl!’” recalled Lizzo. About Damn Time singer shared she was also bullied for way she’s dressed at school.

“I was wearing these flared bell-bottoms with embroidery down it and they’d say, ‘You look like a white girl, why you want to look like a hippie?’ remarked Juice crooner. Lizzo told outlet, “I wanted to be accepted so bad, not fitting in really hurt.” Songstress however found a “defence mechanism” to deal with harsh words at time. “My defence mechanism was humour.

I became class clown, that’s a kind of perceived confidence,” stated Truth Hurts singer. Lizzo revealed, “I have the type of social anxiety where I get louder and funnier more stressed, I am.”–Agencies
