Lizzo has accepted the Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award shortly after being named in a another lawsuit – while also delivering a speech that seemed to reference her current legal troubles.On Thursday (September 21), Lizzo was hit with a lawsuit claiming that racial discrimination, bullying, and harassment had occurred in her team. This is the second lawsuit against the artist in recent times; last month, a lawsuit filed by three of her backup dancers alleged the singer had sexually harassed her dancers and created a hostile work environment, amongst other claims.But yesterday, new allegations of bullying were raised against Lizzo’s team.
Asha Daniels, a former fashion designer for Lizzo, claimed that Lizzo’s wardrobe manager Amanda Nomura had called the backup dancers “fat,” “useless” and “dumb”. Nomura was also accused of making stereotypical impressions of Black women and forcing them to change in front of a largely white, male crew, who would “lewdly gawk” at the dancers.Daniels’ lawyer Ron Zambrano said: “Lizzo is the boss, so the buck stops with her.”Later that day, Lizzo attended the Black Music Action Coalition Gala to accept the Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award.
Though she did not appear on the Black Carpet, she did arrive on stage to be presented with the award by some of her backup dancers, collectively known as the ‘Big Grrls’ and ‘Big Boiis’. Certain dancers have previously praised the singer in an open letter, written on August 18.After watching a video montage of Lizzo’s previous humanitarian efforts involving her support for LGBTQ+ rights and Planned Parenthood, the singer made a speech.“Black Music Action Coalition, y’all really are about that action,” she began.

Aramide Tinubu The final act of the uproarious “Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch” opens with a character waving a folding chair through the air, a reference to the August 2023 Montgomery Riverfront Racial Brawl. The wave of shrieking laughs from the audience showcases just how topical Ossie Davis’ 1961 play still is today, 62 years after it first debuted on Broadway. “Purlie Victorious” opens in Southern Georgia in a rundown farmhouse, home to generations of Black sharecroppers.
Long before Slave Play, decades before Ain’t No Mo, there was Purlie Victorious, the Ossie Davis comedy masterwork that, like those descendant plays, fused broad comedy, satirical minstrelsy, racial satire and still-relevant social commentary to create a play that is so encompassing in its views of history and legacy, so generous in its humanity and pinpoint sharp in its take on debts long owed and now demanded that Kenny Leon’s revival, opening tonight on Broadway, feels as current and bracing as a folding chair.
