Lizzo’s New Shapewear Line ‘Yitty’ Is The Epitome of Inclusive
Recently, Grammy award winning pop singer Lizzo announced the release of her shapewear brand called ‘Yitty.’ She took to Instagram Live on March 30th to showcase some pieces from her Yitty closet!
The fashion line has been in the works for approximately five years now, as Lizzo explained on all social media platforms. In fact, she partnered with Fabletics to bring her vision to life.
Yitty is all inclusive, as sizes run from 6X to extra small with varying compression levels!
Fatphobia is a form of discrimination that runs deeper than many people would like to admit. In her livestream, Lizzo explains the type of agony that plus-sized girls and women face when they try to enjoy common happenings like going to the mall with friends and getting dressed up. There has also been a noticeable absence of plus-sized women in music and fashion which certainly contributes to harmful social conditioning.
On that premise, Yitty is a game-changer.
“People are looking for something that they can’t find… people are still buying girdles! They don’t need to be putting themselves through the torture.”
The name “Yitty” originates from a nickname that the star had as a child. Her brother’s mispronunciation of her birth name “Melissa” quickly turned into her childhood nickname that brought “warmth” and “deep connections.”
“Yitty” is also a tribute to her late Auntie who also provided the nickname with more nuance for the singer.
She giggled about how she intended the name to be “Butt Booty Naked.”
During her livestream, she also discussed sustainability, explaining that a large percentage of fabrics are recyclable including the packaging! She has also ensured the use of eco friendly dyes.
Yitty’s ultimate mission is “about creating your beauty standard.” She wishes for women to be able to say that they look and feel good — making them unstoppable!
Yitty is scheduled to drop on April 12th. Also, be on the look out for a new single dropping soon — ‘About Damn Time!’
As previously reported by miixtapechiick.com, Queen Naija announced her engagement to Clarence White earlier this week. Today she made it official through music, releasing “Ring” via Motown Records.
“I had a while to really bask in my moment and now I’m ready to share it with the ones who have truly been here since the beginning to see it all unfold,” Queen said. “I’m so happy to be able to use music to express myself about my real life.”
“Ring” marks her first release since her EP 30. and arrives with early traction already built — the record generated over 1.3 million views and 200,000 likes across her native posts before release, and has sparked over 135 TikTok creations surpassing 2 million views.
Tyla and Zara Larsson seem to have broken the internet with “She Did It Again,” their new collaborative single. Produced by Ari PenSmith, the track serves as the second single from forthcoming sophomore album A-Pop. Fans have already drawn comparisons between the “She Did It Again” video and Beyoncé and Shakira‘s 2007 “Beautiful Liar.”
Tyla teased the collaboration last week with hidden figure images in the single’s cover art, leaving fans to guess who the featured artist was. The collaborator was revealed to be Zara Larsson on Wednesday, April 15.
“No ordinary love, this is propane, no, it’s not safe / Baby, this a dangerous game for you / Baby, this is all child’s play to me,” Tyla sings on the track.
“She Did It Again” follows “Chanel,” which Tyla released in October and has continued to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. Tyla announced A-Pop at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards on earlier this year. Her self-titled debut arrived in 2024, and she has since released the WWP EP featuring Wizkid ahead of this new era.
After revealing the cover art earlier this week, JT returns with her new single “Numb.” Produced by Danes Blood, Ben10K, Chicken, and BAMBII, a limited signed 7-inch vinyl of the single is available for pre-order now exclusively at thegirljtworld.com.
“I ain’t never been a fake b*tch ever / I can never hang with a lame b*tch never,” she raps on the track.
The release comes off her surprise appearance at Coachella last weekend. JT appeared during Little Simz‘s set to debut their collaboration “Game On,” served as DJ and creative director for a Numb-inspired activation at the Do LaB stage, and hosted an afterparty at the Red Bull Mirage.
“Numb” follows “Girls Gone Wild,” released in November 2025, and her 2024 mixtape City Cinderella, which debuted in the Top 5 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
