It could be “Truth Hurts” time for Lizzo at the Super Bowl. Multiple outlets have reported that the rap star has missed his chance to perform at the Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium.
This revelation comes after several former employees accused the Grammy-winning artist of sexual harassment, mocking other people’s bodies and creating an abusive work environment.
This month, three former back-up dancers filed a lawsuit against Lizzo, her dance captain, and her producer. Following these accusations, two other former employees supported the three dancers and claimed to have suffered similar conditions.
Lizzo has denied the allegations, calling them “unbelievable”.
An appearance at halftime or at the Super Bowl anthem is a huge accomplishment for any entertainer. A record 121 million viewers watched Rihanna’s show last February. Jay-Z’s Roc Nation is handling the Super Bowl halftime production.
There are already signs that the relationship between Lizzo and Roc Nation is rocky. “Made In America Festival,” which Lizzo and Sza were scheduled to attend on September 2-3 in Philadelphia, was canceled on August 8.
Jay-Z founded the event in 2012.
In a statement, the organizers cited “serious circumstances unrelated to the production,” without mentioning any of the poster holders. The media reports a source saying: “Ticket sales were not good.”
