'Nobody asked me': Lizzo denies being approached for Jennifer Lopez's film despite makers' claim

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lizzo has clarified that she was not offered any role in Jennifer Lopez’s movie, ‘This Is Me... Now: A Love Story.’

In a TikTok post, the rapper included a clip from a Prime Video documentary, ‘The Greatest Love Story Never Told,’ where one of the creators said that Lizzo could not appear in the movie since she was "not available” at the time, as reported by Entertainment Weekly.

She then shared, “Ain’t nobody told me nothing. Nobody asked me,” before adding, “J Lo, I love you.”

The 35-year-old singer’s statement came after a report disclosed that celebrities, like Jennifer Coolidge, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Lizzo, Vanessa Hudgens, Jason Momoa, Khloe Kardashian, and Snoop Dogg were asked to be a part of Lopez’s musical film.

But they did not appear because of a busy schedule or some other reasons. However, Post Malone, Jane Fonda, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Jenifer Lewis, Kim Petras, and Keke Palmer are reportedly part of the movie.

Also, the ‘Let's Get Loud’ hitmaker reportedly revealed, “They were giving me a list of all these amazing people, and I was like, yes, I like all of those people, but that's not what I want.”

She continued, "My first people were Jenifer Lewis and Jane Fonda, and they were like, wait, we don't get it. This is like music. This is young."

"And I was like, no. This is a council of people who I want to be very diverse. I want all different kinds of people. These are people with all different personality traits from all different walks of life."

"But they all have something that affected me in some way — their philosophy on life, on love, on the universe, on music. That was the list that I made," she added.

Jennifer Lopez is happy with the result

Lopez also asserted that she’s not angry or unhappy because of the people who could not become part of her project.

She shared, “The casting director and the other producers came in and they were like, 'How about this person? This person's not available.' And they started saying all these people.”

The 54-year-old actress stated, “If you see me sitting there, that's not what I want. What I want is people who represent a certain thing, who could understand what I'm trying to do here. And that's what it took, because they needed to trust me, and at the end of the day. I think it was a big leap of faith for some of them.”
