Lizzo Named Entertainer Of The Year At 2020 NAACP Image Awards

Lizzo was named the Entertainer of the Year at the 2020 NAACP Image Awards on Saturday.

During her acceptance speech on stage, the “Cuz I Love You” singer celebrated meeting all of her “heroes” at the award show, including Angela Bassett, who was also nominated for the honor this year.

“It says that I’m the Entertainer of the Year but you are the entertainer period!” the singer said about the “9-1-1” actor.

Lizzo later continued, calling attention to her efforts to spread body positivity through her music and performances.

“I just want to shout out all of the big Black girls that I bring on stage with me,” she said. “I do that because I want them to know that they are the trophies.”
