Unlike celebrities who fear Nardwaur's knowledge, the singer welcomed him with open arms. Her fans learned more about her pre-Grammy-winning jobs and Nardwaur even mentioned Queen Latifah. It was a tender moment for Lizzo as she spoke about the Queen's influence on her wanting to perform.

“Queen Latifah is the first person that I saw in media that looked like me,” she said. “It was very important to see someone like her be a mogul, rapper, singer, actress, TV host, clothing line, all of it.”

Another recent highlight from the singer is from HBO Max who will release her new documentary, Love, Lizzo.

“Nobody was trying to sign a fat, Black girl that rapped and sang and played the flute,” she said in the trailer. “It took so much hard work to get to where I am today, but I found my voice. Now, when people see me on stage, they see themselves.”

She also mentions that there were times when her leap into success didn't look as if it would happen. This will certainly inspire other creatives, so check out the trailer for Love, Lizzo below. The documentary premieres on November 24.
