Lizzo

In 2019, Lizzo shot to stardom thanks to her breakout single “Truth Hurts.” The track helped her gain two of her three Grammy awards, as the song won in both the Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best Pop Solo Performance categories. Nowadays, she continues to work on her upcoming project, which will be her first body of work since her breakthrough. Successful though she is, the singer hopped on TikTok to make it clear that fame has plenty of downsides.

“Fame only puts a magnifying glass on the sh*t that you already have,” Lizzo said in the video. “If that sh*t is f*cked up, you’re just going to have even more magnified f*cked up sh*t situations where it doesn’t even seem valid or like you’re even like supposed to feel that way so it f*cks you up even more because you feel super f*cking ungrateful.” She then shifted her attention from herself to her listeners, sharing an important message.

“So, I’m just telling everyone now, anyone who has internal issues or has like any type of self problems that they need to work out, work out now,” Lizzo said. “Because money, fame, or success or even getting older doesn’t really fix that sh*t. Do the inner work, because if you don’t, it’s going to haunt you like a f*cking ghost.”

Lizzo is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

HonkMagazine

Playboi Carti has always done things his way, whether it’s in music, fashion, or even when he’s online. With the release of his new album, MUSIC, the mysterious rapper has been making headlines in his typical unconventional style. Recently, he joined a Discord call with popular streamer Kai Cenat and other streamers Young Dabo and ImDontai to share his thoughts and plans. However, an old topic came back into the spotlight, his awkward experience streaming with Adin Ross. In late 2023, Playboi Carti stirred up some buzz when he appeared on Adin Ross’s stream after a concert with Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign.

But his appearance was brief, he showed up just long enough to get paid and then left, leaving Adin and viewers disappointed. The reaction was quick, with Adin expressing his frustration and fans flooding social media with jokes about what happened. During the recent call with Kai Cenat, while he didn’t mention Adin by name, Carti clearly understood the reference. When asked if he’d consider doing another stream, he admitted he didn’t vibe with the last experience, “I ain’t really mess with bro like that,” he said, showing he wasn’t comfortable with the situation.

This isn’t surprising for fans who know Playboi Carti well, he is very selective about where and with whom he works. He values authenticity and prefers to engage in situations that match his energy. While his relationship with streaming is tricky, he maintains strong connections within the rap community, as seen in the impressive list of artists he collaborates with on MUSIC. So, will Carti join another stream in the future? It’s possible, but only if it’s what he wants. As he continues to explore new creative paths with MUSIC and beyond, Playboi Carti doesn’t just follow trends, he sets them.
