Lizzo has been very open about her health journey over the years; now she’s trying to help some of her peers, like BigXthaPlug, get on the same track. The pair linked up for a grocery shopping trip at Walmart while on a Twitch livestream—not long after they found themselves in a light-hearted debate about their soda preferences.
In Lizzo’s opinion, when it comes to healthy soda options, she thinks Coke Zero is best. “We got to get some Coke Zeros,” she says as they walk down the soda aisle. However, the “Whip It” hitmaker didn’t see it that way. “Coke Zero is crazy. You might as well not even drink soda. It’s zero.”

Lizzo asked the rapper if he would prefer water, possibly thinking he wasn’t a fan of carbonated beverages, but that was not the case: “I mean, I drink soda,” BigXthaPlug clarified. It seems that he just doesn’t understand the point of drinking sugar-free soda products like Coke Zero.
“So you’ll drink a full-fat Coke? Oh no no no,” the “Special” singer responded. As the hilarious debate slightly heated up, Lizzo shared that her favorite flavor of Coke Zero was vanilla. The rapper quipped back, saying, “You might as well drink a regular vanilla Coke,” bringing the soda showdown to an end.
Lizzo also shared a clip of the two doing a fire dance routine to BigX’s 2024 hit “The Largest,” on Instagram, writing in the caption: “We the BIGGEST in the game! @bigxthaplug.”
Funny debate aside, Lizzo’s soda choices shouldn’t be a surprise; the rapper-singer has shared her ever-evolving health journey since launching into the mainstream. In July, she sat down with Women’s Health to discuss her weight loss, body positivity, and her ongoing health journey. Lizzo revealed to the outlet that finding healthy eating patterns had always been a “challenge” for her. She shared that she suffered from disordered eating, specifically, binge eating.
“There were times when I would eat so much that my stomach hurt. When I was done, I would be so uncomfortable, I couldn’t breathe and wouldn’t let anyone know,” she says. According to Lizzo, she had “so much food noise and connected so much emotion to food.”
