Lizzo and Cardi B didn’t shy away from exposing their so-called biggest secrets in their empowering new single “Rumors.”

The track, which dropped Friday at midnight, opens with Lizzo fessing up to several crimes she’s accused of before jubilantly declaring, “All the rumors are true!”

The single finds the two Grammy winners mocking and embracing the rumors that have been spread about them.

However, the main message of “Rumors” is telling haters to focus on the bigger problems of the world and not obsess over what two women choose to do with their bodies and free time.

“Spending all your time/ Tryna break a woman down/ Realer s*** is going on/ Baby, take a look around/ If you thought that I was ratchet with my [bum] hanging out/ Just wait until the summer when they let me out the house,” Lizzo sings in the music video as she ascends a giant staircase and greets a crowd of admirers.

As for Cardi, she calls out how spreading rumors isn’t just an American problem — it’s a global issue.

“They even post it on blogs overseas/ And lie in a language I can’t even read/ The f*** does this mean?,” Cardi raps before declaring she and Lizzo are targeted because they are successful — but that’s never going to stop them from living their life.

In the song, Lizzo also shouts out positive role models, such as body positivity and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the latter of which she declared, “Black people made rock ‘n’ roll, yeah!”

And while she and Cardi readily confess to all the rumors about them, there is one that isn’t true — as Lizzo unhappily reveals she has yet to get it on with Drake… but she is fantasizing about it.

Lizzo and Cardi B’s collaboration on “Rumors” is a bold and unapologetic anthem that tackles the rumors and gossip that surround them.

The song opens with Lizzo acknowledging the accusations thrown her way, but defiantly owning her truth with the declaration, “All the rumors are true!”
The duo uses the track to address the unnecessary scrutiny and judgment they face, urging haters to shift their focus to more important issues in the world.

In the music video for “Rumors,” Lizzo confidently struts up a grand staircase, symbolizing her rise above the negativity and criticism. She challenges the double standards and expectations placed on women, particularly women of color, emphasizing the need for empowerment and self-acceptance.

Cardi B adds her own perspective, highlighting the global reach of misinformation and the obstacles faced by successful women in the industry.

Throughout the song, Lizzo and Cardi B celebrate authenticity and individuality, paying tribute to influential figures like Sister Rosetta Tharpe and promoting body positivity.

They address the false narratives that circulate about them, but also acknowledge the power of their platform to inspire and uplift others. Despite the rumors and speculation, they remain steadfast in their commitment to living life on their own terms.

As “Rumors” continues to make waves on the charts, Lizzo and Cardi B stand as shining examples of resilience and defiance in the face of adversity. Their collaboration serves as a reminder to embrace your truth, ignore the noise, and focus on what truly matters.
