AceShowbiz - Lizzo, known for her bold and outspoken personality, finds herself at the center of heated debates again. The 36-year-old artist has angered Britney Spears' fans after seemingly dissing the pop star in an appearance on the "Sibling Rivalry" podcast.

She made the remarks while revisiting a 2021 tweet where she honored Janet Jackson as the "Queen of Pop," a title usually used by fans to refer to Madonna. Defending her stance, she declared, "Britney Spears is doing a Janet impression, and she said it. Janet is her diva. There were no such things as pop divas before Janet."

Her comments didn't sit well with Britney Spears' loyal fanbase. "Nobody thinks of THE Britney Spears as a Janet Jackson impersonator. She literally crafted her own sound and imagery at 16 and became the blueprint for every new pop girl," lashed out one fan on X.

Another fan highlighted the nuanced respect between the two icons, "She has graduated and succeeded in her OWN lane to become a blueprint herself. Lizzo done lost her damn mind."

Lizzo clarified that she didn't mean to undermine Madonna. "Janet was first. She was famous when Madonna was a kid watching her on television," Lizzo explained. "It's not because someone is better than the other. She was just first, and she is Janet. She invented this s***. Madonna is the pop icon."

This backlash isn't new for Lizzo. She mentioned during a December 2024 appearance on "Baby, This Is Keke Palmer" that she's developed a "toxic relationship with the internet," particularly exacerbated after facing allegations of sexual harassment and assault.

"When I see things about me now, or if even if I see a word that looks like my name, I get physically unwell, and I can't take it," she admitted.

As Lizzo stirred the pot with her recent remarks, one thing is clear: the crown of the "Queen of Pop" remains hotly contested, and fans are unlikely to settle the debate anytime soon.
