Lizzo has weighed into the controversy surrounding the American Eagle campaign fronted by Sydney Sweeney, by reposting a political meme of herself.

Sweeney, 27, and the denim brand have been accused of pushing Nazi-like eugenics as aspirational in the campaign designed to lure Gen Z customers.

‘Traits such as hair color and eye color are often inherited from parents through genes,’ Sydney said in the advertisement, and humorously added, ‘My jeans are blue.’

In reply, Lizzo, who is 37 years old and has 44.7 million followers on social media, posted a digitally altered image of herself striking a similar pose, captioned: ‘My jeans are black…’

Neither Sweeney nor American Eagle CEO Jay Schottenstein have commented on the controversy regarding white supremacy, which has notably resulted in a significant drop in the company’s stock price over the last five days.

The 27-year-old Euphoria stunner and the $3.3B denim brand have been accused of pushing Nazi-like eugenics as aspirational in the campaign designed to lure Gen Z customers

A source claimed to TMZ on Wednesday that ‘independent polling shows the vast majority of folks – around 70% – find the commercial appealing.’

On Sunday, American Eagle curiously shared an Instagram photo of a black model fronting the same fall denim campaign after 14 consecutive posts all about Sydney.

‘Throwing in a little color for some razzle dazzle,’ Instagram user @lyssalive commented.

‘This post screams “See, we have black friends,”‘ Instagram user @jaylightthevibe agreed. ‘Try again.’

Instagram user @speechierox commented: ‘Does she have great jeans like Sydney Sweeney too or is this just damage control?’

The Pittsburgh-based fashion retailer pledged to donate 100% of the proceeds from ‘The Sydney Jean’ (featuring a butterfly patch representing domestic violence awareness) to mental health support non-profit, Crisis Text Line.

Lizzo’s (born Melissa Jefferson) post coincidentally came the same day she told PAPER that she has ‘great genes.’

‘I love my natural face,’ the four-time Grammy winner declared to the magazine.

‘I look at my mother’s face and I’m like hell yeah. I feel very blessed to have great genes and I wanna show it. Why cover up what God gave you?’

On January 16, Lizzo announced that she had reached her weight-loss goal, lowered her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5, and lost 16% of her body fat since 2023.

‘Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,’ Sydney said in the commercial. ‘My jeans are blue’

In response, the 37-year-old rapper-singer-flautist – who boasts 44.7M social media followers – captioned her Instagram post: ‘My jeans are black…’ 

Both Sweeney and American Eagle CEO Jay Schottenstein have not issued any statements amidst the white supremacy backlash, which caused the stock price to substantially dip over the past five days

Lizzo will next produce and star in a biopic about pioneering electric guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe, which will mark her biggest acting gig yet

Last week, the Crashout rapper teased that she was ‘back in the studio’ ahead of the release of her fifth studio album, Love in Real Life

The Yitty co-creator – whose Halloween costume was Ozempic – repeatedly denied being on the trendy GLP-1 drug until June 19 when she confessed on the Just Trish podcast that she had tried it in the past.

Lizzo will next produce and star in a biopic about pioneering electric guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe, which will mark her biggest acting gig yet.

‘I’m not doing it because I want an Oscar,’ the Crashout rapper told PAPER.

‘I want to make Sister Rosetta Tharpe a household name as big as Elvis. When people talk about rock ‘n’ roll it begins with her.’

Last week, Lizzo teased that she was ‘back in the studio’ ahead of the release of her fifth studio album, Love in Real Life.

The Emmy-winning producer will eventually have to face her former back-up dancers – Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez – at a jury trial in Santa Monica Courthouse due to their sexual, religious, and racial harassment lawsuit.

Lizzo has vehemently denied all of their allegations.
