Lizzo, born Melissa Viviane Jefferson to her parents Michael Jefferson and Shari Johnson-Jefferson is an American singer, rapper, songwriter, and flutist.

She was born on April 27, 1988 (age 33 years), in Detroit, Michigan.

She is from a family of three siblings – two girls and a boy.

She happens to be the youngest among the three children of her parents.

Her elder siblings are Mikey Jefferson and Vanessa Jefferson.

After a few years in Detroit, she later moved to Houston, Texas, where she began performing before moving to Minneapolis, where she began her recording career in hip hop music.

She is known to be of the few musicians who have been subject to body shaming due to her thick body type.

Despite being overweight, she stays confident and also showcases that through the lyrics of her songs.

Are Lizzo’s parents alive?

Lizzo’s mother, Shari Johnson-Jefferson, as of April 16, 2022, is alive and healthy.

She celebrated her birthday a few months back and was on the news after her daughter surprised her with gifts.

Unfortunate for the musician, her dad, Michael Jefferson is no more as he was reported dead in 2009 when the singer was 21 years old.
