So sad, she is oppressed. Too bad--she did it to herself, because no one on Earth stopped her from doing anything. She and LeBron should get a grip and try living in the real world on actual wages paid by a company.
This. People don't understand that most "famous" people's lives are pretty much rented unless they tour like crazy and make investments.

Well, time to make your actual cash: touring! Only that's all on your dime too. In fact, you are a medium-sized business at this point, now paying against door take and hoping you make a profit at end of tour.
Long story short: Lizzo is paying for her entire image and if she isn't smart will be enjoying, if not a fast food gig, than a grueling one that involves touring to pay off debts or keep her head above water. And that's a special kind of hell on earth.

Yup, that about sums it up, tour or starve, your choice.
Only way that fat tub is going to starve.
