Lizzo Addresses Institutional Racism at Global Citizen Live: "It's Time to Make a Change"

Lizzo hit the stage at Global Citizen Live on Saturday night, where she performed a killer set including “Truth Hurts” and “Juice,” and also used the platform to address institutional racism.

“Thank you so much to Global Citizen for having me,” Lizzo said. “You know, big Black girl from Detroit by way of Houston, Texas, doing big ass things with my life. I’m just so grateful every time I can step on the stage and sing for y’all. Thank you so much.”

She continued, “And now I’m a rich bitch, that’s exciting, that’s never happened. I’ll be like, ‘What kind of rich bitch do I want to be?’ And I decided I want to be a philanthropist. I want to give back. Why would god give me so much if I can’t give it back? So thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to give back.”
