True story.
Met her once in New York City through a mutual friend that is a publicist. My friend held a party at his humble NYC SOHO loft and invited many of his celebrity friends at the time and, of course, a decent group of his fellow childhood friends (like me).
Ironically, I met Lizzo at that party while looking through a gorgeous display of Hors d'oeuvres and when reaching for the last couple of cheese croustades, a rather large shadow loomed over me when I heard, "I'm finna grab this, thank you poppa".
I looked behind me and said, "Oh, I was reaching for these last two as they looked delicious". She replied with, "I know, I had meant to pick them up a moment ago but called them as mine". I smiled and said, "enjoy them". She said, "Oh, I will".
That's when I knew she was special.
