(AllHipHop News) Singer-songwriter Lizzo broke out in 2019 with the Cuz I Love You project. However, Cuz I Love You was actually her third studio LP following 2013’s Lizzobangers and 2015’s Big Grrrl Small World.
It may have taken over half a decade for Lizzo to reach mainstream success, but once the 31-year-old entertainer attained that A-list status she quickly racked up multiple industry accomplishments, including winning three Grammys at the 62nd Annual ceremony in January.
