Britney Spears ‘Hurt’ Over Lizzo’s Janet Jackson Comparison
Pop icon Britney Spears is feeling blindsided after a recent interview in which Lizzo made a comment comparing her to Janet Jackson — and not in a way that felt complimentary.
In the now-viral clip, Lizzo said, “It’s like Britney was just doing a Janet impression,” sparking immediate backlash from fans and leaving Spears reportedly “hurt and confused,” according to sources close to the singer.
While Britney has publicly shown admiration for Janet Jackson in the past, insiders say she felt Lizzo’s remark dismissed her individuality and reduced her legacy to mere imitation. What stung most, according to the source, was that it felt like a “dig disguised as a comparison.”
Fans quickly rallied behind Britney, taking to social media to defend her originality and influence on pop music. Many pointed out that while Britney has drawn inspiration from legendary artists — as most do — she’s long since carved out her own place in music history.
Amid the drama, Britney is said to be focusing on staying at peace, especially with the buzz surrounding her memoir being turned into a biopic. The pop star has expressed a clear desire to avoid unnecessary conflict, sharing that she just wants to be “left alone.”
As of now, neither Britney nor Lizzo has publicly addressed the incident further.
