Watch Lizzo cover Erykah Badu’s ‘Tyrone’ with cheeky lyric changes referencing Drake and Chris Evans
Lizzo has covered an Erykah Badu classic during her set at Miami’s Art Basel over the weekend – while ad-libbing some new lyrics of her own.Performing as part of an American Express concert series entitled AmEx Unstaged on December 5, the singer covered Badu’s track ‘Tyrone’ – which Badu herself originally released in 1997 on her live album ‘Live’.Riffing on the song’s hook of “I think you’d better call Tyrone”, Lizzo added in a nod to actor Chris Evans. This was done in reference to her joking on TikTok earlier this year that she was pregnant with his child.
