    She told fans on Instagram Live, “New music is motherf**king coming. Are you and Harry going to collab? I have a collab with him this weekend. I’m going to call him.”

    “Rihanna is busy but you know what is crazy?” she continued. “I have been wanting to hit her up. I’m scared, though. I’ma just DM her and say, ‘Hey, I’ve got a song for us.’ I do have a song. I might just do it.”

    The 32-year-old Grammy-winner also teased that her follow-up to her acclaimed 2019 LP “Cuz I Love You” will be “very uplifting, fun and necessary.”

    “This music is going to be very uplifting, very fun and very necessary,” she smiled. “I am making the music that I need to hear after the year we’ve had.”

    Last year, Lizzo linked up with Rihanna as she modeled for Savage x Fenty Vol 2. show.

    The show featured a long list of supermodels, singers, and TV personalities, including singer Rosalia, drag queen Shea Coulee, and models Miss 5th Ave, Irina Shayk, hotel heiress Paris Hilton, and artists like Miguel, Bad Bunny, and Ella Mai.

      Harry Styles Stresses Importance Not to Force Lizzo Collaboration

      by

      WENN/Instar

      Both the ‘Lights Up’ singer and the ‘Truth Hurts’ hitmaker have expressed admiration for each other, but he sets the record straight on talks about their potential duet.
      Mar 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Harry Styles doesn’t want to “force” a collaboration with Lizzo, despite his love for the U.S. star’s music.
      The “Lights Up” hitmaker and the “Truth Hurts” singer have both expressed admiration for each other and delighted fans by cementing their friendship by laughing and joking together at last month’s (February) BRIT Awards.
      However, Harry says speculation about a potential duet may be a little premature, as he wants to wait for the right song to come along.
      “It’s kind of one of those things where any time two people say they like each other’s stuff, everybody goes, ‘oh you should collaborate,'” the 26-year-old tells New Zealand’s “The Project” TV show.
      “I’m a really big fan of hers and if there was a time when something made sense and we wanted to do something together that would be amazing, but I think it’s probably important not to force stuff together.”
      In the interview Styles also said he wants to host TV shows as well as make new music – and is willing to give host “The Project” when he visits the country on tour in November.

      “I’m big into the hosting now and I’m trying to add another string to my bow,” the British musician adds. “So yeah, if you’d have me that would be wonderful.”

      Lizzo Accused of Denying Songwriters' 'Credits and Royalties' in 'Truth Hurts' Legal Battle

      by

      WENN/Avalon

      The ‘Good as Hell’ rapper has been slapped with a countersuit by the Raisen brothers and Justin ‘Yves’ Rothman, who claim they took part in the writing session for ‘Truth Hurts’.
      Feb 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Hip-hop star Lizzo has been slapped with a countersuit over the songwriting credits for her smash hit “Truth Hurts”.
      Brothers Justin and Jeremiah Raisen, along with Justin ‘Yves’ Rothman, first took issue with the tune on social media last year (2019), claiming they were part of an April, 2017 writing session with Lizzo, which produced the demo, “Healthy”.
      They allege the version they worked on included the famous line, “I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100 per cent that b**ch” – but they were never properly acknowledged.
      Lizzo refuted the accusations online and then launched legal action against them in October, seeking a declaratory judgement after insisting they “did not help me write any part” of the Grammy-winning track.
      Now the Raisens and Rothman are fighting back with their own “bad faith” suit, accusing Lizzo of the “unprincipled attempt to deny songwriting and producer credits and royalties” to the trio.
      “Lizzo would never have collected her Grammy Award (for Best Pop Solo Performance) but for the songwriting and producing contributions of (the Raisens and Rothman),” they declare in the U.S. court filing.
      They are now keen to have the dispute play out in court so they can prove their involvement in the creation of the tune.
      “When the case proceeds to trial, we look forward to sharing the sound recordings, videos, photographs and musicology that 100 per cent prove that collaboration,” their lawyers share in a statement to Rolling Stone.
      “Our clients deserve their fair share of the recognition and revenue that comes from collaborating on a hit song.”
      Lizzo has yet to respond to the countersuit.
      She had previously agreed to extend a credit for the song to Mina Lioness, the singer who originally came up with the “DNA test” line in a 2017 tweet.

      The ‘Truth Hurts’ hitmaker scores the top honor while Beyonce Knowles takes home multiple awards, one of which she shares with her daughter, at the annual 51st NAACP Image Awards.
      Feb 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lizzo, “Just Mercy”, and “Black-ish” were the big winners at the 51st NAACP Image Awards in Hollywood on Saturday night, February 22, 2020.
      The “Truth Hurts” hitmaker beat out Billy Porter, Angela Bassett, Regina King, and Tyler Perry to be named Entertainer of the Year at the ceremony, which recognises entertainers of colour.
      “We are such a beautiful people, this is just a reminder of all the beautiful things that we can do,” said Lizzo as she accepted the night’s final and biggest award, leaping and dancing off the stage at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.

      Meanwhile, “Just Mercy” took home three prizes, including Best Motion Picture, Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan and Best Supporting Actor for Jamie Foxx.
      Jordan played a crusading defence attorney in the film, with Foxx starring as the wrongly convicted man he fought for.
      “This project is a lot bigger than me. It’s about every person that’s wrongfully convicted and sitting in a jail cell right now,” Jordan said as he accepted the award for the movie, which is based on real-life events.
      Foxx, who won his fifth overall Image Award for his performance, added, “Thank you so much, black people, African-Americans, and everything else we are.”
      “It’s always great to get it from black folks because we are so talented.”
      Lupita Nyong’o won Best Actress in a film for her role in “Us”, and 15-year Marsai Martin received Best Supporting Actress for her performance in “Little”, beating out names including Jennifer Lopez, Janelle Monae, and Octavia Spencer.
      It was a big night for “Black-ish”, with the hit show taking home Outstanding Comedy Series, and sweeping all of the acting categories for comedy series.
      Last year’s Entertainer of the Year winner Beyonce Knowles also took home a handful of prizes, including Outstanding Female Artist, along with several nods for her album “The Lion King: The Gift”. Her daughter, Blue Ivy, was also recognised for the collaboration “Brown Skin Girl”.
      And Rihanna took home the NAACP President’s Award for special achievement and distinguished public service, and she called for racial, religious and cultural unity during her acceptance speech.
      “If there’s anything that I’ve learned, it’s that we can only fix this world together,” Rihanna said. “We can’t do it divided. Tell your friends to pull up.”
      “We’ve been denied opportunities since the beginning of time, and still we prevail… Imagine what we can do if we do it together,” she added.
      Anthony Anderson hosted the 2020 ceremony.
      The full list of winners is as follows:

      Headlining the SiriusXM and Pandora Opening Drive Super Concert Series, the ‘Truth Hurts’ hitmaker heats up the stage for two hours and treats fans to ‘Juice’ duet with Harry Styles.
      Feb 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lizzo celebrated the life and legacy of late basketball star Kobe Bryant during her pre-Super Bowl concert on Thursday, January 30, night.
      The “Truth Hurts” hitmaker took the stage at the SiriusXM & Pandora Opening Drive Super Concert Series at The Fillmore Miami Beach in Florida, where she told the crowd, “I can’t be at the largest sporting event of the year without mentioning the tragic loss of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna.”
      “We can’t be at this event and not think of them in our hearts and hold them up and honor them as sports fans, as music fans, as human beings.”
      The Los Angeles Lakers player died alongside his teenage daughter Gianna and seven other victims in a helicopter crash on Sunday, January 26 – hours before Lizzo took the stage and scooped three prizes at the 2020 Grammy Awards.
      “We have an effect on each other,” the “Good As Hell” singer added. “We have to be good to each other. We don’t know what tomorrow holds. We don’t know if tomorrow’s promised. So, I want you all to just really dig down deep inside and be good to yourself, be good to your family.”
      Lizzo performed for two hours, and brought out surprise guest Harry Styles to duet on closing track “Juice”. Styles has performed the tune a number of times in his recent live shows.

      She also recalled attending the big game as a teenager, and watching Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake join forces onstage, noting: “(Now) I got a song with Justin Timberlake. And Janet Jackson likes my music. A lot can happen in a lifetime.”
      The San Francisco 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs at the Super Bowl on Sunday. Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will provide entertainment during the Halftime Show.
