Lizzo admits her nudity annoys her relatives and says Beyoncé helped her during depression
Lizzo has revealed her flesh-baring outfits have caused a stir among her family members as they ring and tell her to ‘put some clothes on’.
The singer, 34, often takes to the stage and posts on Instagram in skimpy ensembles and she revealed her looks haven’t gone unnoticed by her relatives.
Lizzo discussed the controversy during an appearance on James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke, where she also revealed Beyoncé’s music helped her with depression.
Ha! Lizzo has revealed her flesh-baring outfits have caused a stir among her family members as they ring and tell her to ‘put some clothes on’
The star, who said she would listen to the singing icon and dream of one day becoming a singer, revealed that when she began releasing music and cussing in her songs, it also ‘p****d a few family members off.’
She said: ‘My cousin Pookie gets made at me all the time. He’ll call my mom and say “Hey, tell Melissa to put some clothes on”.
During the ride, Lizzo played a tune on a flute and revealed she called her own instrument Sasha Floot, inspired by Beyoncé’s alter-ego Sasha Fierce.
She added that Beyoncé was a bigger influence beyond the flute name, adding: ‘When I was shy, or when I didn’t think I was cool, when I was getting picked on, I would listen to Beyoncé in my bedroom and it would transport me.’

She said: ‘I would feel that my life was going to be better, you know, there’s hope for me. When I dropped out of college and I was really depressed, I listened to B’Day on repeat and I was like I’m gonna be a singer.
‘The way she makes people feel is the way I wanna make people feel with music. She is my North Star,’ Lizzo said, but admitted she has never met her and they are not friends.
James asked if they should call her and pulled out his phone, as Lizzo started getting emotional… but he admitted: ‘I’m joking, there’s no way I’ve got her phone number.’

‘You almost got me you b***h,’ Lizzo said, before they both break into Beyoncé’s classic track Crazy In Love.

She also put together a crazy TikTok dance for About Damn Time with Jaeden Gomez.

After kicking off the segment with Good as Hell, Lizzo told James, ‘Wow this is so cool. It is. Like people know my music well enough that I can do this.’
The presenter also asked when she moved from Melissa to Lizzo, since he said that must have been a ‘big moment.’
She explained: ‘It was a teenage nickname. I don’t know if everyone was doing this, but in Houston, you chop the second half of your name and put an O.

Flute: James asked how long she’s been playing the flute for, as she answers, ‘Since I was 12 years old,’ as James produces a flute, but Lizzo says it’s a ‘beginner’s flute’
‘I was Lisso with two s’ and then people said it with a little swag to it so I changed the s’ to z’s,’ she explained.
They broke into her hit Juice, when Lizzo pulled up to a man sitting on a bus bench, who waved at them both.

Lizzo said: ‘When I was in Detroit, we were in the Church of God and Christ. When you have that faith, it is strict with the kind of music you listen to. We didn’t listen to secular music. It was devil music.’
