Lizzo Asks Jason Lee About That Viral Beyoncé “Snub” Clip on ‘The Jason Lee Show’

Pop star Lizzo took a moment to get candid on her recent appearance on The Jason Lee Show, putting host and media personality Jason Lee on the spot about a viral clip involving none other than Beyoncé.

During their lively exchange, Lizzo brought up the widely circulated video from the 2023 Roc Nation Brunch, which sparked internet debate over whether Beyoncé intentionally ignored Lee. The moment was originally shared by Hollywood Unlocked, the entertainment platform Lee founded, and quickly ignited speculation on social media.

“The only thing I really want to know…” Lizzo began, hesitating as the two exchanged laughs.

“She better not try me,” Lee replied, jokingly.

“I don’t think you’re going to like this question at all,” Lizzo continued before bluntly asking: “That clip of you and Beyoncé—did she dodge you?”

Lee, known for his unfiltered takes and media savvy, laughed off the question before explaining what really happened. “She was coming into the party as I was leaving, so I ran around and plotted where to meet her,” he said. “I told my friend, ‘Record this video.’ He did—but once I posted it, they edited it. It looked like she was running [away].”

According to Lee, the video was later weaponized online, particularly by fans of rapper Nicki Minaj, with whom Lee has had public tension. “Once I got into it with Nicki, her fans took it and made it a thing—like, ‘Beyoncé’s running from Jason,’” he said.

Lee has since addressed the playful controversy on multiple platforms, including The Breakfast Club, where he said, “I’d chase Beyoncé to the gates of heaven.”

While Lee’s name has long been tied to Black celebrity news and unfiltered gossip, his influence now extends beyond Hollywood. He was recently elected Vice Mayor of Stockton, California—his hometown—marking a new chapter in his public life.

As for Lizzo, she’s using the summer to embrace her evolving self-image and wellness goals, continuing to speak openly about her body and weight loss journey.

The lighthearted exchange between the two stars offered fans a rare mix of pop culture honesty, humor, and unexpected depth—reminding everyone that even viral moments have backstories.
