In an upcoming documentary on HBO, the star talks about being bullied at school and, as a result, kept her musical tastes hidden for fear of appearing ‘too white’. Not only was her taste in music criticised so was the way she dressed. Referring to her style of wearing bell bottom flares with embroidery down the front – she was teased for looking like a Hippie and asked why she wanted to look like a white girl. Tired of being asked dumb questions about the issue of race in music, Lizzo says she is done with the whole subject and wants the focus to be kept on her music.
