It’s been nearly three years, but Lizzo is still apologizing to Seth Meyers’ dad for calling him a b–ch during the pair’s epic “Day Drinking” segment in December 2022. The singer/rapper dropped by Late Night on Wednesday (April 9) to chat about her upcoming album and recall the bad old times when she had to do anything she could to get her early, meager audiences to love her. But mostly she wanted to make up for insulting Larry Meyers.
The host replayed a bit of the drinking segment, in which he called up his dad and asked an innocuous question about whether he was going to watch the game the next day, then handed the phone over to the “Truth Hurts” star, who playfully growled, “Bye b–ch!!” to Seth’s shock and horror.

Afterwards, Meyers revealed, Lizzo managed to get his dad’s address and sent flowers to his parent’s house with the note, “Dear Larry, I’m sorry I called you a b–ch.” And, because it’s late night TV, of course Meyers called up his dad again, with Lizzo promising, “I’ll call him, but I won’t call him a b–ch.”
“Hey, I love you so much, um, this is Lizzo,” she told the elder Meyers, adding, “I miss you so much and, um…” jokingly whispering to Seth that this time he should hurl the same insult at his dad. “She called you a b–ch backstage,” Meyers quickly blurted before taking the phone away from Lizzo. “No, you said b–ch!” she protested.
Meyers also recalled that he saw Lizzo at the Met Ball in 2023 shortly after the initial boozy segment, when the after effects of their day of drinking was still so fresh she just wagged a finger at him when he said hello. “You were not ready to see me,” Meyers said. “I think you were still a little bit hung over.”
“I was probably drunk. I probably never, ever recovered,” she said.
The singer who will make her fourth appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend began her chat with Meyers by charging into the stands and slapping hands with the studio audience and doing a twirl to show off her “nearly-naked” bodysuit from her Yitty brand. “I’m scared,” she admitted about performing on SNL again, joking, “It’s live television! In front of, like, 50 people by the way, who can see up your nose and see if you got lipstick on your teeth. 20,000 people? I’m a bad b—ch. 150 people? You can smell me, b–ch!”
Noting that she took a few years off recently, Meyers asked Lizzo what she’d learned about being famous in the interim. “People conflate fame and rich, which is just not true,” Lizzo explained. “Some people are famous and they are not rich. Some people are rich and they don’t have fame. I have both. So to be honest with you I can’t complain.”
She also talked about working her way up from playing biker bars in Oklahoma, turning “haters into congratulators” every single night on her way to global fame. Lizzo recently revealed that her upcoming album, Love in Real Life, is officially complete, though no released date has been announced yet.

Travis Scott is used to fans approaching him, but he didn’t expect an Oscar-winning actor to be among them.
In a new Complex cover story published this week, the Utopia rapper recalled a recent run-in with Adrien Brody during Paris Fashion Week, where the actor surprised him not only by being a supporter of his music, but by revealing he’s also a beatmaker.
“I sat next to him and I’m like, ‘F***, I don’t even know if this dude knows who I am,’” Scott said. “And the first thing he tells me is, ‘Yo, bro, I f*** with your s***.’ And I’m like, ‘What the f***?’”

Brody, who recently won the Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in The Brutalist, went on to tell Scott that he produces music. “You know, I make beats and s***,” Brody said, according to Scott. “I’m like, ‘You got to send me some beats!’ So we chopped it up. Man, that f***ed me up. That’s crazy.”

Scott told Complex the encounter stuck with him — not just because he’s a fan of Brody’s acting work, including roles in Wes Anderson films, but also because of the unexpected creative overlap. “That movie is hard as f***,” he said of The Brutalist. “I hope he wins Best Actor. That’s my dog.”
Brody’s musical side isn’t new. In a 2024 interview with the Los Angeles Times, he revealed that his early beatmaking dates back to the mid-’90s after working on Angels in the Outfield.
“I hung out with some kids in The Bay in Oakland who were producing and rapping… I started producing tracks with these guys and learned how to do it and went back to LA, and this was before the internet.”
Scott, whose album Utopia debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2023, continues to blur the lines between hip-hop, art, and pop culture. His Coachella set this weekend marks his first time headlining the festival, where he’ll join fellow headliners Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone.

Lil Durk clinches a milestone 10th top 10 project on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart as Deep Thoughts opens at No. 2 on the list dated April 12. The set, released March 28 through Alamo Records, starts with 64,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. for the week ending April 3, according to Luminate.
Streaming activity fuels almost all of Deep Thoughts’ first week, with 63,000 units deriving from the sector, equaling 85.9 million official on-demand U.S. audio and video streams of the album’s songs. 1,000 units are from traditional album sales, with a negligible amount of track-equivalent unit (TEA) activity. (One unit equals the following levels of consumption: one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.)
Lil Durk, who is currently incarcerated amid federal murder-for-hire charges, lands his 10th top 10 effort two months short of his 10th anniversary on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. He arrived on the list dated June 20, 2015, when Remember My Name began at No. 2.
