Lizzo Fires Back at Sydney Sweeney with New Song: Fashion Drama or Satire?
Lizzo Unleashes Scathing Diss Track on Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle
In a move that's got everyone talking, Grammy-winning rapper-singer-flautist Lizzo has taken aim at Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney and her high-profile ad campaign for American Eagle. The drama-filled feud has been brewing for weeks, with Lizzo firing back at Sweeney's alleged "eugenics" remarks in a series of hilarious parodies.
The 37-year-old music sensation dropped two scathing tracks in the past week, both targeting the $3.3 billion denim brand and Sweeney's involvement. In her latest offering, "I'm Goin' In Till October," Lizzo name-dropped Sweeney and boasted about her own fashion sense, rapping: "Fat a* pretty face with the tiies / Bi, I got good jeans like I'm Sydney!"
The raunchy music video, which racked up millions of views in just hours, features Lizzo twerking up a storm while pretending to wash a retro red car. The star's waist-length platinum-blonde wig and Daisy Dukes-clad physique have left fans gagging.
But what sparked this heated exchange? Sweeney's American Eagle campaign has been accused of promoting "Nazi-like eugenics" as aspirational, with many calling out the brand for perpetuating a problematic message. Lizzo, who boasts an impressive 44.6 million social media followers and 12.1 million monthly Spotify listeners, wasn't having it.
In her earlier parody, posted on Monday, Lizzo lampooned the "woke agenda" and took aim at Fox commentator's comments about her being part of a "300-pound, non-binary person" who would be "applauded." The music star has been vocal about body positivity and self-acceptance, often sharing her own struggles with weight loss and self-image.
But Lizzo hasn't just been targeting Sweeney's ad campaign – she's also taken aim at the fashion brand itself. In a series of posts on social media, she's shared memes and jokes poking fun at American Eagle's attempts to distance themselves from the controversy.
Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney has remained relatively quiet on the matter, despite President Donald Trump publicly gushing about her ad campaign and even praising it as "fantastic." The 27-year-old actress has yet to address the backlash or respond to Lizzo's parodies.
The drama has taken an interesting turn, with American Eagle's stock price surging over 13% thanks to the Trump bump. The brand has pledged to donate 100% of proceeds from a new line called "The Sydney Jean" (featuring a butterfly patch representing domestic violence awareness) to mental health support non-profit, Crisis Text Line.
But Lizzo isn't one to be silenced – she's been using her platform to call out the fashion industry for promoting unrealistic beauty standards and perpetuating problematic messages. In an interview with PAPER last week, she confessed: "I love my natural face. I look at my mother's face and I'm like hell yeah. I feel very blessed to have great genes and I wanna show it."
Lizzo's weight loss journey has been well-documented, with the star reaching her goal of lowering her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5 and losing 16% of her body fat since 2023. But fans were left wondering if she was using Ozempic, a trendy GLP-1 drug, to aid in her weight loss efforts.
In a shocking confession on the Just Trish podcast last June, Lizzo revealed that she had indeed tried the drug in the past – a move that sparked controversy among fans and critics alike.
As Lizzo continues to dominate the headlines with her scathing diss tracks and hilarious parodies, one thing's for sure: this drama-filled feud is far from over. Stay tuned!
Additional Updates:
Lizzo will soon be taking on her biggest acting gig yet – a biopic about pioneering electric guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe. The music star will produce and star in the film, which promises to be an exciting addition to her already impressive resume.
But Lizzo's not out of the woods just yet – she'll face off against her former back-up dancers in a jury trial at Santa Monica Courthouse due to their allegations of sexual, religious, and racial harassment. The Emmy-winning producer has denied all allegations, but this one's sure to get messy.
And as for Sydney Sweeney? It seems like she's about to become the newest Republican star – with American Eagle's stock price soaring thanks in part to President Trump's endorsement.
This is a developing story, so stay tuned for more updates on Lizzo's scathing diss tracks and the drama-filled feud that's got everyone talking!
