Congrats are in order to Lizzo who is celebrating her first No. 1 hit on Billboard Hot 100.
Her record “Truth Hurts,” has made her the sixth rapper to hit the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. She took to social media to express her gratitude and said, “We’re number 1. This is a W for all of us. Anybody who ever felt like they’re voice wasn’t heard. Anybody who felt like they weren’t good enough, you are. We are champions. I love ya’ll 3 much Lizzbians unite.”
The record originally released back in 2017, and later appeared on Lizzo’s third studio album “Cuz I Love You,” which released back in April.
Lizzo has performed the hit record countless amount of times including at the 2019 BET Awards, and the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards.
Earlier this year, she talked with People about when she originally released the record and said, “The day I released ‘Truth Hurts’ was probably one of the darkest days I’ve had ever in my career.”
She continued, “I remember thinking, ‘If I quit music now, nobody would notice. This is my best song ever, and nobody cares. The song that made me want to quit is the song that everyone’s falling in love with me for.”
Earlier we shared a video of Lizzo getting emotional as she talked about Tennesee State University re-enacting her performance from the BET Awards. She reflected on her journey throughout the years as she realized it was all worth it, and embraced all of her recent success.
