Lizzo will share her life story in her own words in a new documentary heading to HBO Max this fall. The film was announced at the streaming service’s upfront event, and also posted to Twitter with the caption: “About damn time I could announce this. An intimate look at the one-and-only @Lizzo‘s rise to fame is coming to HBO Max this fall.”

HBO Max said the documentary tells “the inspirational story behind her humble beginnings to her meteoric rise with an intimate look into the moments that shaped her hard-earned rise to fame, success, love, and international stardom.”

Lizzo said in a statement: “Growing up I never dreamed I’d get to experience all of the things I’ve accomplished in my life, and I’m just getting started. From ‘Cuz I Love You to my dramatic world tour, losing and gaining love, and creating my new album Special, y’all get to see the amount of time, patience, blood, sweat and tears that went into this process. It takes ten years to become an ‘overnight success,’ and hopefully I can inspire other young creatives to keep going.”

Lizzo will also serve as executive producer on the documentary. She will also be dropping her highly-anticipated album, ‘Special’ in July, followed by a North American tour.

Rihanna is officially a mom, giving birth to her first child – a baby boy – with her boyfriend A$AP Rocky on May 13 in Los Angeles, according to TMZ. Rihanna and A$AP have been dating since early 2020. They went public with their romance in November of that same year.

Rihanna’s pregnancy was revealed in late January after photographs emerged of the singer, 34, showing off her baby bump as she went for a stroll with Rocky, 33, in Harlem. A month before revealing the pregnancy, Rihanna had sparked rumors while dining at Carbone, with a source telling us she was “quite clearly drinking sparkling water and openly rubbing her baby bump.” The Fenty Beauty founder attempted to hide her pregnancy with oversize jackets and baggy clothes but began flaunting her baby bump with her trendy, maternity fashion.

A$AP Rocky — real name Rakim Mayers — opened up about one day becoming a dad during a May 2021 interview with GQ, saying, “I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly child. Very.”
