LizzoandCardi Bare dripping in gold in their new music video.
The “Truth Hurts” singer, 33, and the “WAP” rapper, 28, teamed up for “Rumors,” Lizzo’s first single in two years, and dropped a goddess-inspired music video Friday to accompany the catchy track.
In the new single, Lizzo shuts down online critics and trolls spreading rumors about everything from her dating life to her diet. The video begins with the Grammy winner walking through a world like ancient Greece, reminiscent of Disney’s 1997 animated hitHercules, dressed as a goddess in a sparkly gold dress, gladiator sandals and plenty of statement jewelry.
As she sings, “Last year, I thought I would losе it/ Readin' sh– on the internеt / My smoothie cleanse and my diet/ No, I ain’t f— Drake yet,” she strolls past Grecian columns and pottery featuring images of women twerking.
In the chorus, Lizzo delivers a direct message to her haters.
Ahead of the Friday release of “Rumors,” both artists teased the track on social media.
“[A]ll the rumors are truuuuue - me n my sis@lizzobeeatingdropping this friday get ready 😘😘😘.“Cardi Bwrote onInstagramMonday, posting photo of her and Lizzo flashing sparkly gold manicures.
Lizzo marked the release of her new single with a triumphant return to Twitter after signing off the app last year because of “trolls.”
“Hey y’all.. heard I was trending so I decided to come back on here.. what I miss?” she wrote Monday.
Lizzo previously declared her new singlethe start of a “new era"in anInstagrampost earlier this month.
In a promo image from her “Rumors” video, she posed with her finger to her lips, wearing an embroidered gold top and accessorizing her look with a thick gold bangle and dangling earring.
““NEW ERA BITCH. ‘RUMORS’. 8/13. 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫,” she captioned the photo.
