Lizzo is getting cheekier, by the day, and we say that in the literal sense of the word she let it all hang out whilst boarding a flight. Dressed in her latest line of freeing shapewear, Yitty, Lizzo also teased Instagram with a new song, and fans lapped it all up.
So here's what Lizzo has been up to, and what we can expect of her at the next SNL...
Celebrating Yitty With An Ode
Lizzo recently announced her newest shapewear line, Yitty, and we also got to know that she named it eponymously, after a childhood nickname. She just let us have a glimpse of how much that name means to her in her latest Instagram post, about her aunt who gave her that moniker.
Wrote the Grammy winner, "Auntie… I miss you so much today. Yitty just dropped and I know ur cracking jokes in heaven. Thank you for giving me the nickname Yitty..."
She could be referring to her aunt, Carmen, who she also wrote about on Mother's Day, as she continued to write, "It used to be the nickname that made yell at my brother sister when they teased me… and now it’s the nickname that makes me feel proud. It's the nickname that makes me feel connected to my family. And now… the world is connected to me, auntie!!!! You are still my favorite person, I’m doing my best impression of you right now to get me through this SNL rehearsal without crying. I love you. Thank you. You got the world saying Yitty! You always been the trendsetter ❤️ PS… I know you woulda been rockin the all white leggings and bra lookin shaaaaaaaaaarp..."
Lizzo ended by mentioning her mother, also in the photo she posted, "PSS… mommy u lookin cute on the left."

This is not Lizzo's first time on "SNL" as she originally debuted on the show as the musical guest in 2019 when Eddie Murphy returned to host for the first time in 35 years. But this weekend, she's all set to handle both hosting and musical performance duties.
And she's doing it with a bounce in her step.

In the video, Lizzo is shown walking towards NBC studios in a purple patterned coat, before she whips around and whipped it open to reveal her bright red shapewear. She also sported a diamond-encrusted chain around her throat with Yitty written in big, heavy letters.
Lizzo Gets Cheeky With Yitty
Lizzo has also been teasing her fans with a new song 'About Damn Time' and it's slated to be released on April 14.
She did a little teaser for her fans as well, walking towards the camera in a crop top and leggings but it's only when she walks past that you see the leggings have cutouts, letting Lizzo's booty hang out in all its glory.
Watch.

Fans loved her confidence as one wrote: "Gurrrrl I'm loving your confidence😍 dint give a damn who says what. People always telling women to love themselves, be proud no matter your weight or skin color then those same people got something negative to say when you loving you."
Another wrote, "She’s amazing I feel good every time I see her no matter what mood I’m in."
Of course, not everyone is a fan. While Lizzo was not targetted over her weight, or "walking around in a thong" so much, people had a problem with her private jet.
Wrote one irritated fan, "CLIMATE CHANGE- liberal hypocrisy knows no bounds. Stop fighting for a cause you clearly don’t care about. Your Carbon footprint is killing the earth."
Another also vented, "The planet might have a better chance of healthy survival if you actually walked your talk."
Meanwhile, some did have a problem with all that skin, writing, "I love Lizzo but ladies this is a problem. We keep lying to one another and it’s not helpful! This is ridiculous frinnn!!!! Go put some clothes on beloved!!!"
Lizzo, meanwhile, don't care.
