Lizzo Pisses Off Madonna Fans by Dubbing Janet Jackson ‘Queen of Pop’


Lizzo has weighed in on the King/Queen of Pop debate — and she’s stirring the pot big time by crowning the great Janet Jackson as the latter … which has Madonna fans up in arms.

The singer dished her rankings Sunday — this after Justin Bieber took the title of Prince of Pop among his fanbase following a milestone Spotify record — and she seems to concur … saying that the Biebs is, indeed, the Prince … still behind Michael Jackson, the King.

King of Pop- Michael Jackson
Queen of Pop- Janet Jackson

Prince of pop- Bieber
Princess of Pop- Britney Spears
The Pop princess- Rihanna

Queen of music- Beyonce https://t.co/98Zq8ZOH25

Then, Lizzo threw a wrench in things with her Queen bestowment — saying Mike’s sister is actually right alongside him on the pop throne … and that was met with pushback.

Of course, music fans had to interject and point out that Madge has long claimed that title for herself — as she’s an iconic artist who did A LOT for the genre in her heyday, and just in general over the years. Some feel Lizzo’s putting her head in the sand on this one.

We should point out — before people start getting too crazy on this whole thing — that this is simply Lizzo’s opinion … and that none of these titles are all that official anyway. Still, Lizzo seems to have taken notice of the online ruckus she caused … writing “Ruhruoh.”

She clarified later saying that there’s a new generation of up-and-coming artists who might take these folks’ place one day — but, for now, Lizzo considers this the standard.

As for the rest of her list — she thinks Britney‘s the PoP, Rihanna‘s the PP, and Beyonce‘s in her own category. Honorable mentions for other genres include Usher (R&B King), Aretha Franklin (Soul), Mariah (R&B Queen), Tina Turner (Rock and Roll) and Mary J (Hip-Hop/Soul).

There you have it … Lizzo has spoken!
