“The American people in the comments, ‘I knew she was wrong. Jay-Z, I knew he was… what did it say Jay-Z did? He was there in 1996? Come on, people,” she said in the since-deleted video.
“Like, y’all are falling for it. It’s the easiest, oldest trick in the book. And honestly, I’m losing faith in the average intelligence of the American person. Because, come on, just because somebody’s name is mentioned in a 3 million document file of a person’s life who’s been lived over a span of crimes who span decades, doesn’t mean that every single person isn’t an accomplice,” Lizzo continued.
“He referenced Jay-Z once. He was like, ‘oh, we could learn from Jay-Z‘s business model.’ Why are y’all… Where’s the crime? Focus.”
She drew a lot of backlash online, with some users accusing her of wanting to be in Jay-Z‘s “good graces” and hoping to “win points” with him.
