Lizzo Thought Her Size Would Prevent Her From Being A Pop Star #Lizzo

But according to a recent interview with ElleUK, Lizzo said she never imagined being a pop star was even possible due to her size.

Lizzo has come a long way since her days when sleeping in her car was sometimes her only option. But according to a recent interview with Elle UK, she never imagined being a pop star was even possible due to her size. While she recognized there were bigger women in the industry such as Missy Elliott and Queen Latifah, she called them the exception to the rule. She continued, I think it was more of, like, an insecurity. Nearly every star I saw on stage was thinner and light-skinned. And they didnt look like me. I always felt like, even if the song is great, people wouldnt want to hear it coming from me. So I thought, if I have other people on stage, too, that will take the focus off me a little bit. I know people want to look like me now. But Im talking about what it was like in my formative years. I wasnt really set up to believe that I was desirable. For me, being a pop star part of it is people either want to be you or be with you. And I didnt feel like I had any of those qualities.

But she genuinely thought I was beautiful and helped me believe it and verbalize it out loud. Read more
