Lizzo labels Janet Jackson the ‘Queen Of Pop’ to the anger of Madonna fans
Madonna fans are unhappy with Lizzo after she labelled Janet Jackson the ‘Queen Of Pop’ in a new series of tweets.
The ‘Truth Hurts’ singer presented her list of all-star performers, including Jackson’s brother Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Usher and more.
In her first tweet, she praised Usher as the “the king of r&b,” before returning to quote tweet the praise with more classifications.
According to Lizzo, Michael Jackson is the King of Pop – as goes his famous nickname – while Janet is the Queen of Pop, Justin Bieber is the Prince Of Pop.
Elsewhere, Britney Spears is Lizzo’s Princess of Pop, Rihanna is The Pop Princess, and Beyoncé is Queen of Music.

Lizzo returned earlier this month with new single ‘Rumors’, featuring Cardi B. Following the release of the track, which arrived alongside an official video seemingly inspired by Disney’s animated movie Hercules, Lizzo has opened up about the abusive comments she’s received online following the release of her new single.
Since the track and its accompanying visuals landed, however, Lizzo has been targeted with fat-shaming and racist abuse on social media. She later broke down in tears on Instagram, telling viewers: “Sometimes I feel like the world just don’t love me back.”
