Thursdays are unofficially for throwbacks, a day to reflect on some major achievements, events in your life. As is the usual trend with social media users. Chance The Rapper wasn’t going to let anyone ruin his nostalgic mood.
The Chicago philanthropist decided to share a video clip on Instagram featuring a much younger Lizzo interviewing him for a Minneapolis-based magazine called GreenRoom in 2012. He couldn’t help but praise her throughout the caption for becoming the international star she is today.
“#tbt anybody recognize the woman interviewing me?? Give you a hint we’re playing the same Houston festival in a couple weeks and have the same number of GRAMMYs. Guys, this video is so dope to see. It was 2012, a year before Acid Rap even dropped, and I was being interviewed for a small magazine in Minneapolis called GreenRoom, right after a small show I was playing.
“I remember it like it was yesterday and it was EIGHT years ago. Wow man. I’ve watched Lizzo work her ass off to become the biggest act in the world and it was nothing but her and her day 1 bestfriends’ hard work, and her own God given Talent. I am immensely proud of her and so inspired by her journey. Life is crazy. Tag someone you believe is one day gonna be a superstar.”

While the initial comments were possible, it wasn’t long before an Instagram user who goes by @jxrdxn called Lizzo “classless” and was quickly hit with the block button.
“She’s classless. Surprised you would endorse her,” to which Chance replied, “@jxrdxn good job ur blocked.”
There has been onslaught of criticism directed against her because of her consistently racy attire and nude Instagram photo shoots. She prefers to perform in skimpy leotards and has no qualms about it. When criticized for her image, Lizzo typically stands up for herself.
