The latter single reached number one on Billboard’s ‘Hot 100 affirming Lizzo as only the third female rapper to top the chart without a featured artist, as well as the first black solo female R&B singer to claim the top spot since 2012.

“Truth Hurts” dominated the chart for seven weeks, further making history as the longest running number one by a solo female rap artist to date.

Named by Rolling Stone as one of the “500 Greatest Songs Of All Time,” “Truth Hurts” went on to earn a 2020 GRAMMY® Award for “Best Pop Solo Performance,” with Cuz I Love You (deluxe) receiving that year’s GRAMMY® for “Best Urban Contemporary Album” and “Jerome” earning “Best Traditional R&B Performance.”
