Lizzo’s hit song “Truth Hurts” will be eligible for a Grammy Award nomination despite first being released two years ago, WENN.com reports.
According to editors at Billboard magazine, in the name of diversity and inclusion, the Recording Academy ruled the 31-year-old rapper’s sleeper hit, “Truth Hurts”, which entered the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this month, is eligible for the 2020 nominations – despite first debuting in 2017.
Lizzo’s track caught the public’s ear after it was featured in a promo for the Netflix film Something Great, as well as being featured in multiple film and television soundtracks, such as I Feel Pretty, Grown-ish, Blockers, and The Bold Type.
The singer, real name Melissa Viviane Jefferson, has previously spoken of her wish to be nominated for the prestigious award, and responded to the news on Twitter by reminding fans she worked her azz off.
“EVERYBODY GON HAVE SUMN TO SAY BUT I BEEN BUSTIN MY ASS FOR 10 YEARS MAKIN MUSIC.. TOURING-BLOOD SWEAT TEARS.. WHEN I DROPPED TRUTH HURTS I WAS SO DEPRESSED I ALMOST QUIT MUSIC CUZ NO ONE CARED- IDGAF THIS MY TESTIMONY MY HARD WORK PAYIN OFF A REMINDER TO NEVER GIVE UP! THANK U!”, she tweeted.
The Detroit native, who fans dubbed the plus-sized Janelle Monaé, previously released two albums before hitting the big time with her third studio album, Cuz I Love You, which debuted at number 6 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Lizzo has also snagged a role in the movie Hustlers alongside Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, and Cardi B. Hustlers is about a group of strippers who drug and rob their wealthy Wall Street clients.

Yay I love her.
According to editors at Billboard magazine, in the name of diversity and
inclusion, the Recording Academy ruled the 31-year-old rapper’s sleeper
hit,, which entered the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this month, is eligible for the 2020 nominations – despite first debuting in 2017…
———–
Change the rules for one, will Billboard retroactively change the rules for other such cases? Inquiring minds…
The entertainment industry and black women… wow
Any word on who paid for that inclusion for her? This is a sign of the times when any and everything that deals with music, acting or politics, etc. can be bought.
I don’t know who paid what. It is interesting though.
Damn yal negative, I support Lizzo, Congratulations!!! She is a flutist not just a chubby girl who sings different from the rest.
I love her, she was really fun to see live.
I’m all for inclusion as long as I don’t have to pay someone back for being included.
The beautiful, talented, actress,dancer,singer, talk show host KeKe Palmer is in the movie “Hustlers” also.
Congrats on Lizzo’s(whom also worked on one of Prince’s(r.i.p.) albums ‘PLECTRUMELECTRUM”) success & achievements.
They just recently started playing this on our local stations… Issa bop
I don’t watch the Grammy’s anymore … carry on … IDGAF! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1834f8abafe8012c9c8683bfe1a6c82b192d506c333d5461b2bfb3e3f69247a7.gif Stopped years ago …. those are paid for awards …. Carry on Carry on
…………………
Atlantic Records.
First time hearing Juice… It’s cool, feel good music
All award shows are rigged
Awards switch the rules all the times i know yall not gonna pipe up because its a fat brown girl, CILY is one of if not the best album of the year, goan lizzo
??
She is a cool character artist. Kinda Bruno MarsISH even though he bites off US.
It just devalues the award …… aye on their azzes …. viewership will just go down …. cause folks will already know who will receive what ….. award shows value is plummeting (tanking) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c1425c997ed3319b16098cad0d4bebaabde80cd22860d557863b4ff2c949aed9.gif with the music obviously ….. at the end of the day it will cost the record company more …… because that same money to buy those awards for said artist will eventually come from the artist …… leaving the artist used again …

Lizzo out here making news and playing the flute and sh@t!… Go head Lizzo girl!… You got the Juice now!
https://media0.giphy.com/media/pjvNxmcP1ojsjUbK3U/giphy.gif
Not feeling it but I guess the young kids would.
Truth hurts is currently in rotation….get it lizzo….
Never heard of her, nor have I ever heard her song Truth Hurts. But if the Grammys are doing this, let it be so. I know how it is to work hard, blood, sweat, and tears and nobody not give a hoot. Kudos to her!
Trust…this is not the first time they have done this…there are many artists who song came out and didn’t get popular to later. But who really watch the Grammy’s…not me.
“In the name of diversity and inclusion” ??????? I like that song and the girl’s talent is undeniable. However, I don’t understand why the rules get to change for her. Also, obesity is an epidemic in America. Push away from the buffet table. Got my damn insurance increasing to take care of the likes of folks with food addictions. Y’all know obese folks can file for disability?
Not gonna lie – this was my first time hearing Truth Hurts. Cute video and I like the song. She’s quite unique. It’s something about her energy. She gives off genuine vibes. I like.
It figures…
“…at the end of the day it will cost the record company more….”
———————————————————–
Hmmm. Good point. Never thought about it like that.
I love Lizzo!
Hate when folk sleep but glad they awake!
She is the bomb!
I like her, but I don’t agree. Not that she is by far in comparison to, but I recall how pissed folks were to be told “rules are rules”, when Ciara’s “Body Party” missed eligibility dates/guidelines. Now few years later this happens. Wtfever and not cool.
like the song…..glad she is finally on…..don’t watch grammys…have not in decades…always thought it was too damn long…..moving on–>
This heffa looks gross. Can’t wait to hear about her health ailments in days/months/years to come…same for all the heffas who think their leader is helping them with self love. Self love isn’t wearing clothes that’s too small or being cut out of your house.
Don’t want to hear anything about skinny women’s ailments. We are talking about Lizzard.
Can’t wait to hear about her health ailments in days/months/years to come…
^^^^^
Waiting for someone to become ill due to their choices seems cruel and not cool. This is like saying you can’t wait on the family member who smokes to get lung cancer. Or can’t wait til the fam member who drinks too much to develop cirrhosis. And not that it makes it any better, but at least you know those folks. You dont know this girl from a can of paint. Seek help Shelby.
The song is trash and she looks… unwell.
Right after you do booboo cause no one and I mean absolutely NO ONE has as much to say on SR as you do. You say shat I don’t like all of the time, yet I can scroll pass and if I agree will comment in agreeance…how about you miss my comment when you don’t like them…m’kay! My comment remains the SAME! Bye!
Record companies most are only in da true business of manipulation (swaying groups) the artist are the puppets …. so when the artist is not swaying they will pull from the artist technically …… but what happens when folks start to wake up and notice this agenda….. well easy ….. they will still loose …… this is why these awards and highly hyped artist get these awards …. period…. and trust it will cost the artist ….. and the record company regardless ….. still a damn fail smh https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c1425c997ed3319b16098cad0d4bebaabde80cd22860d557863b4ff2c949aed9.gif
Perfect description.
I am proud of her. I wish her all the best.
Is she like a Rayana Jay?
Alessia Cara won best new artist in 2017 even tho her album came out in 2015…Chile…they been breaking these rules for others…Im glad they “changed the rule”…..
They changed the rules for Alessia Cara too back in 2017…she won best new artist in 2017 but her album came out in 2015…her songs were being blasted and played on soundtracks all of 2015, 2016 and 2017…Chile…
I recall this instance too
I CAN NOT be the only one that is not ok with this attire? I can not unsee this …I don’t want to see Beyoncé, Ciara or your momma in this. Hell I don’t want to see myself in this, Why?
Ur not
Her confidence must be thru the roof to wear that at her size. You go Lizzo!!! Not for me and I’m on the smaller side but I won’t knock it cause I haven’t tried it…lol.
LOL!!
smh
They were talking about that 600 lb. Life show last week and said NONE of them work but somehow have money to eat fast food all day every day, apartments and gastric bypass surgery paid for by disability.
Tons of artists bust their ass for 10 years or longer, so what is she saying…that cuz she worked hard for ten years the rules should be changed for her? That’s bull.
Zackly. I made a similar comment above.
Ciara is skinny – but this chick – ok, gonna try to be nice here, but pretty much anyone who’s getting pushed out to maainstream, there’s an agenda behind it.
You’re actively wishing bad on someone’s health so that you can one day look back at your comment and say you were right. Your comment was trash and deserved to be called out.
Just say you think Lizzo looks a mess and keep it moving
Forget her attire….this woman is seriously obese. I hate that black women are continuing to embrace obesity as cute and sexy. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes is not cute. Oh and PLEASE don’t @ me about obese none black women. No other culture embraces obesity like we do. Sh*t im going to the gym just because ?
Just pisses me off when RULES aren’t rules from one day to the next!
It is either a RULE or NOT! smh
Yup. Our tax dollars hard at work.
I can appreciate her confidence but she gotta baby step us in to her world lol spoon feed us a little bit at a time cause babyyyy when she turned around n shook that donk at the BET awards…i was NOT ready!
Not that I agree totally with her comment, however, she is entitled to her opinion just like everybody else on this board. Same way you’re entitled to call her opinion trash. And what exactly was ‘called out’? She posted on the www where EVERYONE can see it.
And see you have been here long enough to know I hate to be thinking conspiracy theories but I am starting to think so TOO far as an agenda Ryan. I kinda see it in this case. She is a dope ass artist. But there have been people snubbed before (hell I think Taylor Swift was snubbed some noms just last year and we all know how much SHE sells) so this makes ZERO sense to me. Im glad for her yet hella confused
An opinion is maybe Lizzo is too damn big. I actually SAID that the LAST time she was posted here by SR. She had on a knee brace and I said maybe its from the dancing and the weight and folks had my ASS over it. IDGAF. CRUEL is I cant wait for her to get sick in the coming days bc she is a fat lizard. Its diff and you are very intelligent Speakingmymind. So dont do that. You know good and well the diff.
i wouldve told her to sit her fatass down. rules are rules.
???
Right. Somebody somewhere told these chicks they were “thick”. LOL
I done seen too many water buffalos bustin’ out they jeans and Xsmall shirts. No wonder when I go shopping all the smalls and mediums are gone and whats left are XL and up. Pisses me off!
What irritated me was Mo’nique. The whole Death to skinny bishes routine after routine. Get like me. Im big and fine and embrace your big beautiful selves. A whole ass MOVIE on being plus sized. And then…is now a fitness guru. Like bish I got a MEMORY.
Never said she wasn’t entitled. Anyone can post, but once you do, don’t get mad when ppl call you out and disagree.
She was complaining about someone having a negative reply to her comment. I was agreeing with that negative reply, which is my right since I’m “entitled to me opinion just like everybody else on this board” right?
Dubb, I agree that that part of her comment was cruel…but it is still her thoughts/opinion to post. That’s what I was responding on. Me personally, I don’t wish harm on anyone – well, except the orange orangutan and I dont even like feeling that level of dislike for his dumb ass – but it’s still her opinion.
We all disagree with each other’s opinions from time to time…I just don’t like us policing (for lack of a better word) each other when we don’t agree with or like someone’s post.
Rigghhht!!??? I follow her on instagram and every post is her working out, hiking, dancing, etc. with the tag line
‘I LOVE US FOR REAL’ or some shat like that. ???
I quit!!???
LOL….just yesterday I went to a jazz fest with my friends and family and I was looking cute. I am 5’3″ and 135 pounds, no cellulite, very little fat (except where it counts) and these fat heffas was talking crap about me indirectly. If my momma wasn’t there, I woulda gotten real outta pocket.
I don’t pay fat women no mind. They wish they were my size. Periodt. I knew Monique always wanted to be skinny…she talked about it too much.
And we all know I cant stand that shit. I didnt police her. I responded to her comment. Just like she said that shit, I can say its cruel. And Shelby is mean and an outright strange unfeeling bitch OFTEN. She acts like folks cant say shit to her on it. Just like she CHOSE to scroll the fukk by MY comments she says she hates, I CHOSE to stop at hern and comment that hey, you being strange and weird for wishing death on someone who one more time CHOSE to spend too much time in the buffet line. Life is about those. Choices.
????…Choices indeed! Well damn, tell us how u really feel!! ????
Hey. Im all for folks here expressing theyselves.
She actually lost a few pounds since my last post of her.
Anyone willing to push their weight up that high and want to act like it’s normal will only lead to later health concerns. You people acting like being friggin OBESE is a good thing. Take your prissy as$ on off the blogs and be a friggin man you lilly liver little bish. Push away from the damn table and stop trying to make obesity normal cause it’s not!!! Your fat as$ mama is trash. Bye!
Im pretty fluffy due to meds (prednisone) these days. Even my ass out here exercising and eating different. I miss being a few sizes smaller and I admit that and its just not good. My knees are starting to say bish hell naw and I now snore as a result. Im down to a 12 and down 27 pounds. I say folks need to do better in general. Its not healthy and to lie and say it is, is pretty bogus.
lol!! that’s not right!! but they bend the rules for her!
And I am happy for that Sandra. You used to do a med minute on obesity and its just not good
shocked ya!
Nice to see I’m not the only one to cause a ruckus in the comments *snickers*
LOL!!! it’s the Men done changed these women!! everyone is fat chasing now..
yeah she has Hella confidence! she say all the men is in her DM!!
all i wanna know where she get her stocking from? i can’t find those anywhere..they are not Spanx! i looked!!! can someone help me?
?
I’ll stick to my Cameo, EW&F, Delfonics, Rolls Royce, Patrice Rushen, and so forth…. This new music is stupid as hell!!! No comment on this any further….. ?
I like how angry you can get off of online words lol. I’m just picturing you so riled tf up over nothing. To clear it up for you, wishing bad on somebody’s health is not an opinion. If you think so, then you’re the one who needs to get “on off the blogs” and get some common sense
I actually instruct at a gym and personal train. I’m actually doing something to fight obesity. All you’re doing is bxtching online and showing how sad your life must be. Sitting here with nothing better to do than predict celebrities’ health misfortunes and insult mamas (in 2019)?
I was like wait, PINEAPPLES!
Forget the Grammy and go put some clothes on!! Immediately!!
No reason in these days all these cute cute clothes out here to not dress your size
Yay!!! Good for you. It’s good that you’re taking control of your health. Wish more of US would. It’s def not a game. I had a grandma die of diabetes, and an Uncle is battling it now. Had to get a leg removed and like 2-3 fingers. Just horrible. And the kicker is, he could have prevented it but didn’t want to listen.
I like Lizzo ?????
Obese or not lol
GIRL! If I was bigger I’d STAY in Ashley Stewart!!!
My Dad had a crush on Patrice Rushen and Chaka Khan. He still gets outta character when she comes on TV at some awards show. smh
You can tell that I’m angry through a computer…ok! You sound slow af! This is the internet, anyone can be anything they want. For someone who’s supposedly doing “something to fight obesity”, you shouldn’t be ok with this young lady, who doesn’t even have kids yet, to be this enormous. But, let you tell it. In 2019, people still have fat as$ mamas, like yours, so yea…that comments stands as well. She IS
Told yall my daddy true love was Chaka coke headed ass. Til the day he left here.
These PC mugfugs make me sick….fawk you trying to attack me! I said what I said! TF! LOL. I’m not gonna act like a female without kids should be that big. Bish can’t even see her damn poosay.
She’s a cute chick…but does everybody have to wear leotards??
My babe was actually my inspiration. He found out he has a heriditary kidney condition last part of 2018. He immed. went into operation I wanna LIVE. Changed his eating habits (almost no red meat, more veggies, more fruit) and joined the gym (he wasnt overweight and his job is really physical so totally gets plenty of exercise as IS) and just all kinds of stuff. Hell if he can do it so can I. We all followed suit to not just support him, its easier bc we all live here and eat together. Even the kids on board.
Just about no line is un crossable in the rose/thorn garden.
I’m sorry but she needs to lose massive weight. About 2, 3 years from now we’ll find out that she had a heart attack or is pre-diabetic and then she’ll report that she lost 100 lbs because of health reasons….betcha….always happens.
I just saw Chaka Kahn in concert this weekend. She still “got it”. That voice is golden.
Chaka Kahn still got “it”…believe me.
Big fat nope.
Big fat nope.
Lol @ Pineapples ??
Lol @ Pineapples ??
Chicks gon wear what they want to. Pretty girl though!
Lol
CONGRATULATIONS SIS! I’m on the same path…just got off my meds now I’m doing a quick 15 min yoga dance in the morning at home then omw home I hit the gym. I’m down about 8lbs!!
Its too expensive and FRFR afyer awhile…you’ll want to go back to 5-7-9….it’s just more options when you’re smaller
WOW!
Bow wow
That’s how it usually happens. In the meantime, she’ll continue to sell false confidence and obesity.
Lizzo = the end of all hope of black women being taken seriously, EVER. That insanely obsess refrigerator in leotards that rolls on the floor twerking, loud talking and hunting down men that don’t love her is the ultimate stereotype that black women are desperately trying to move away from
Keep going and congrats!
???that’s mean and you know it ?.
Yes, love your body, but your body needs to a healthy size. And can someone explain to me how you can be obese but say you are healthy. Fat isnt healthy. When I was pregnant and carried a stomach I could barely put on shoes or socks, how do obese folks out on socks, or just complete other simple tasks? OAN I just downloaded some.if her songs fir a road trip.
They all talk sh*t until that come to Jesus moment.
I also can’t stand that “curvy” is the new fat. I see so many obese women saying they’re curvy. I also hear them say that they’re thick, which is a new term white women have stolen. I’m always like curvy where?! Then women like me that are actually really curvy…what are we now. ?
Yo seek help fr.
I didn’t know about her until I Googled “brrp brrp beep beep toot toot song” I heard on a telephone commercial.
Yes ma’am! Most of these bubble gum singers ain’t got it like that and never will!!!
Everybody’s talking about her weight but the “song” sucks. This is gonna be nom for a Grammy?!?!?! IMO, her real prob is this song, not her weight. The song can’t be fixed but she can fix her weight.
???
That big broad need to put some clothes on
Yassss. I love her! Go Lizzo!
Obese?
??
And, they are. When she was smaller, someone told her her face didnt match her body. Men like what they like. We have to live for self.
Skinny by their standards lol.
The obese chicks have swiped them all. I’ve seen obese chicks wearing crop tops ???
I loves me some lizzo. I hate that the focus is on her weight instead of her talent. The girl raps, sings and plays instruments. And y’all talking bout ole girl weight. Come on now!!!!
L0l@ He still gets outta character! He’s just showing who he really is, Raquel. Dads are stud muffins too.
Congrats. Losing weigh is work!
When I could see my Punkin gaining weight I knew we had to do something quick! So as a family we’re just getting started, but I feel great about our commitment.
Keep up the good work.
Mexicans embrace obesity!
You got her message all wrong. She is about body positivity & loving yourself.
All GREATS. All CLASSICS. ALL PLAYED REGULARLY OVER HERE!
Boom…Boom
Yes the song is catchy, but the message is stupid. “You can tell your friends shoot your shot when you see ’em, it’s okay he’s already in my DM’s” So you move on quickly from your man, because you’re a S l ot. And you call his current girlfriend, his b i t ch? How is it empowering for young women?
I love that song truth hurts! Go Lizzo!!!! It’s refreshing. A nice break from that City Girl junk (which I do like btw) and Cardi B crap.
Not like black American Negroes. Even in the Caribbean, unless they’re obsessed with American culture, blacks don’t embrace obesity like this.
That’s what’s up! When the whole family is involved it can be fun. Especially when the kids like it..teaching them good habits early. Sometimes it takes a bad situation for something good to come from it.
Yeah…I found out that day. ? I was surprised my mom ain’t pop his a** in the back of his head. Lol
Oh, I believe it. She’s gorgeous now as she was then.
????….girl….every man musta been in love back then fr fr.
Total band geek! She’s great!
Stay pressed people ??
That tiny fist up against that giant thigh, David & Goliath.
I was thinking the same thing.
She won me over when she played that flute during her set at the BET awards, I once was a floutist as well, but baybeee her and that strawberry shortcake Rick James (RIP) wig is a HARD and FAST “no”.
I was once a flutist too!
Hey girl Heeeeyyyyyy. The “pretty sister” of the woodwinds (LOL) up in dis bish!!!!!! LMAO!!!!
Good for Lizzo!
I can’t stand the Grammys!
They know the whiteout is real, the death of Black R&B! Hip Hop is next on the block!
That AWFUL Jennifer Lopez Grammy Motown Tribute!
Still won’t be watching!
I never knew Classical Flute was a degree til Lizzo. University of Houston. Who knew?
lol…Girl, it’s not that serious…It’s just a song!
Surely not I. LOL. I had no idea.
#letoldpeoplelive l0l!
I’ve never heard her music…so two year old music can be dug up and be eligible for a grammy…now everybody is going to dig up their 2 year old music and ask if theirs can be considered for a grammy…sigh
she’s been touring and promoting and performing the songs on that album. her dedication to her craft launched it into the limelight. she a cold rapper too
she doesn’t
Shhhh, you can’t talk medical science or facts. It’s too rational.
You can’t tell black folks nothing. I have an aunt who is on dialysis and had half her intestines removed. She’s still eating pig feet, chitterlings, pork chops, collard greens, biscuits and gravy, and washing it down with beer.
Morbidly
????
I saw a guy beatbox and play the flute simultaneously… I died. So much talent!
