Lizzo returned Friday (June ) with her first album in four years, BITCH, hitting streaming services. Shortly after the project’s arrival, the Detroit native shared an alternate edition of the LP’s title track, which seemingly finds her taking aim at Nicki Minaj.
Lizzo reposted a screenshot of Minaj’s tweet from Feb. 1, which saw the Queens rapper mocking Lizzo’s weight loss and upcoming album.
“Fat Lizzo lost 300 lbs just to sell 300 albums,” Minaj wrote at the time alongside a photo of a Chucky doll. “So now she has loose skin AND a flop album, AND a weird charge. Sheesh.”
Lizzo put the audio of the remixed version of the album’s title track over the screenshot of Minaj’s tweet with the caption, “Since I’m blocked.”
“Used to be the biggest fan, then I lost weight/ Wait, wait, let me fixate,” she raps. “Paid to keep the peace, I don’t even like beef/ Crazy thing is you knew me you would like/ I’m praying for our sisters, I want to see us all in our bag.”
As of press time, the “Super Bass” rapper is yet to respond to Lizzo.
Lizzo’s BITCH is her first album since 2022’s Special, which contained the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “About Damn Time.”
“Reclaiming the word ‘bi—’ is power. It’s taking a label once used to diminish women and turning it into a declaration of confidence and unapologetic self-love,” the “Truth Hurts” artist said in a statement. “So many incredible women in music have used the word for positivity like Meredith Brooks and Missy Elliott. It was only fitting to name my album BITCH because it has become my favorite word when using it on my own terms, and because I am 100% that bi—!”
