Lizzo has revealed that major celebrities have slid into her DMs — but she had no clue they were actually flirting with her.

On the latest episode of Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco's Friends Keep Secrets podcast, the 37-year-old singer was asked who the "craziest person" to ever slide in her DMs was.

"I've gotten some slides to say hi, but like slide slides: all of 'em," she said. "The ones that you would think. Not no more obviously."

Elsewhere on the podcast, Lizzo described feeling invisible to guys because of her size at a young age.

"I grew up a big girl and guys didn't like me like that," she said. "Where I grew up like if you were fat, you were ugly, which, that's not true. Fat doesn't equal ugly. But where I grew up, that's what it was. So I was kind of invisible to all the guys."

When celebrities began messaging her as an adult, Lizzo said she was initially clueless about their intentions.

"I don't even know what this person's intention is. I thought it was all friendly, lowkey, and people had to tell me, 'Hey, no, this person is trying to fuck you.' I was like, 'What?' I'm so oblivious to things like that, even to this day," she said.

Lizzo is currently dating media personality Myke Wright, who she met in 2016 while co-hosting MTV’s Wonderland. However, they did not officially start dating until 2021.

"I was the music girl, he was the comedy guy," she said on a 2025 episode of Therapuss with Jake Shane. "I was just like, 'He’s my best friend.' I didn’t have any guy friends like that — well, I did, because you know I’m in the music industry. But I was like, 'Wow, I can really talk to him.'"

"We had this crazy bond for years," she continued. "I do love that we were friends first, so that means we can talk about anything."
