If more people shook their asses for charity, and also Jesus, on Easter Sunday, I’m sure the coffers of churches would be filled beyond capacity. But that’s just my opinion! I have no religious authority, and I have not been ordained in the real world, my imagination, or even my nightmares. But I have been to enough Easter Sunday services—with those horrid crackers and stale Welch’s grape juice—to know that they would have been made infinitely more enjoyable and holy were everyone allowed to actually dance as they please—including Lizzo!
On Sunday, Diddy hosted a celeb-packed dance-a-thon to raise money for healthcare workers, in partnership with teamlove.com and his own fundraising Cash tag, $DIDDYDANCEATHON. Amid appearances from bored-at-home famous people like Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez, Lizzo showed up. But when she actually bent her back to bust a move, Diddy shut her down, claiming: “It’s Easter Sunday, let’s play something a little more family-friendly.” Lizzo, playing the moment off, laughed, and asked if they could instead listen to “Juice.”
Later, however, when Draya got down on the stream to shake it out for Jesus, and also charity, Diddy was seen cheering her on. In a video also captured by the Shade Room, Diddy is heard claiming: “I think that was one of the top performances.” According to him, she “killed that.” So why couldn’t Lizzo also shake her ass for charity (and Jesus)?
At the end of the stream, he clarified for fans that it had nothing to do with Lizzo’s dancing; he just wanted to be more “family-friendly” with his song choices. Except, when you compare the two, I don’t hear anything in one that is necessarily worse—or better—than the other in the rather archaic framework of “family-friendly” entertainment. So the question is, then, Diddy: Are you just horny? It’s fine! Everyone gets horny on Easter Sunday. But don’t let that stifle Lizzo’s shine! [Shade Room]
