Lizzo was on hand with an unusual first pitch before the Los Angeles Dodgers' game against the San Diego Padres on Thursday.
After being invited to take part in the traditional pregame ceremony at Dodger Stadium, the 37-year-old singer left fans baffled with her strange approach to pitching.
She first took her place on the mound as Dodgers star Mookie Betts waited in preparation to take the catch, only to run forward while pretending to throw the ball twice.
Lizzo then turned around and ran back to the mound, before finally throwing a pitch into Betts which bounced before finding his glove.
A number of fans were left confused by her two fake throws, with one writing on X: 'The longest, most pointless and stupidest first pitch ever'.
Another commented: 'So stupid. Stop trying to make it about you'.
While a third simply asked: 'What the f*** is this?'
Others, however, saw the funny side of Lizzo's twist on pitching.
'Love it,' one fan commented while another said 'still better than 50 Cent', referencing the rapper's infamous first pitch at a 2014 New York Mets game, widely considered one of the worst of all time.

This comes after she admitted to briefly using Ozempic to aid in her extreme weight loss transformation.
Lizzo talked about her Ozempic use during Thursday's episode of Trisha Paytas's Just Trish podcast.
The singer revealed she started to take the GLP-1 medication at the beginning of her weight loss journey in 2023, but soon came to the conclusion that it wouldn't help her in the long term.
Lizzo said: 'I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.'
Many of her fans turned on her after she 'lied' for months and previously denied Ozempic allegations, claiming she achieved her much slimmer figure through 'weight lifting and calorie deficit'.
She also added that she started getting results when she stopped being vegan after many years of not eating meat.
Lizzo explained: 'What did it for me is, it was not being vegan. Because when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats. I was eating a lot of bread. I was eating a lot of rice and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full.
'When I started actually eating whole foods and eating, like, beef and chicken and fish, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that wasn't actually filling me up.'
Criticism: Social media users reacted strongly to her Ozempic confession
Supportive: However, other fans praised her for admitting it despite previously denying the rumors
