Lizzo Says She Doesn't Have Friends Because Fame Makes Everyone 'Weird'

Lizzo suggested that the reason she doesn’t have friends is because of how “weird” it got when she became famous. The singer opened up about her (lack of) friendships in an interview with Ziwe (around the 4:44 mark) where she reflected on people who used to be close to her.

“I used to have so many friends, but when you get famous, it gets really weird,” admitted Lizzo. “Everyone makes it weird for famous people.”

“I’m still a normal person,” she continued. “You’re still you. Everything around you changes. It’s heartbreaking.”

Lizzo then gave her followers some advice about becoming famous — namely, that it should be avoided.

“Don’t be famous,” she said to the camera. “I know you guys want to to be, and I know you want to go online, go viral, get your money, and be rich.”

“Rich and famous are not the same thing,” Lizzo clarified. “If you’re an artist, do your art, but don’t just be famous. You can’t leave. It never ends.”

In April, Lizzo detailed some of the changes that she’s made to her lifestyle on her ongoing weight loss journey. During a TikTok Live, the singer revealed that she cut down on “sugary stuff” in the morning in lieu of breakfast options that are “super savory.”

"I do something sweet. It's gotta be with some sort of, like, carb. I'll have like almond butter and toast. So, everybody's body is different. Find out what works for you," Lizzo said.

Lizzo also issued a warning to people who count calories.

“We rebel against counting calories because it is a gateway to eating disorders,” she said. “I don't think it's healthy to constantly be counting calories and to constantly have that number in your head. I don't think it's healthy to constantly get on the scale and always be checking your weight, and to be obsessed with the numbers.”
