Lizzo’s opening number on the Barbie soundtrack, “Pink,” is an undisputed standout, but that isn’t the only reason why the Grammy-winning artist is making headlines this week. In an unexpected turn of events, the pop artist who routinely champions body positivity is being sued by three of her former dancers over claims of sexual and racial harassment, disability discrimination, false imprisonment, and creating a hostile work environment. The allegations seem so serious that even Beyoncé omitted her usual Lizzo shout-out in a “Break My Soul” remix during a concert in Boston on Tuesday. Lizzo has since responded on Instagram to the “false” allegations against her, saying, “ these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed.”

Keeping it with the ladies of pop, Cardi B has had quite the week after an incident occurred in Las Vegas. ICYMI, the rapper, was performing an outdoor set when a concertgoer flung their drink at her, which caused her to retaliate by hurling her microphone back. A fan caught the events on camera, which went viral. Cardi's actions could face consequences after the Las Vegas Police Department revealed that a fan filed a police report for battery, especially after another video surfaced in which Cardi B and her DJ ask the crowd to “splash” her with water due to the heat. But later in the show, Cardi B clarified that she didn't want anything thrown in her face. Regardless, incidents of concertgoers throwing items at artists is a growing and disturbing trend, leading Alicia Keys’ 8-year-old son to stand on stage as her bodyguard at a concert earlier this week and Kelly Clarkson telling fans the only thing they’re allowed to throw on stage is diamonds.
