Towards the end of the episode, the 'Truth Hurts' singer and podcast host were "prescribing" advice to listeners, and were asked about two friends making the jump from platonic to romantic, reports 'People' magazine.
As they continued to dish out their opinions, Lizzo revealed that she and her boyfriend first met as friends, telling Shane, 25, "I had a friends-to-lovers trope".
"We both worked on this one TV show, (Wonderland), for MTV.
I was the music girl, he was the comedy guy", she said. "I was just like, 'He's my best friend'".
"I didn't have any guy friends like that, well, I did because you know I'm in the music industry. But I was like 'Wow, I can really talk to him. We had this crazy bond for years", she continued. "I do love that we were friends first, so that means we can talk about anything".
"He's your best friend", Shane replied. "Literally", agreed the 'Good As Hell' singer.
She then confessed, "That is low-key like a fantasy. Right? It's like a 'Book-Tok' dream to be like, 'Oh my God, like he was my best friend'".
Lizzo and Wright confirmed their romance in April 2022, after Andy Cohen accidentally "outed" their relationship when she appeared on his radio show that month. Two months later, they made their red carpet debut at a 'For Your Consideration' event for her Watch Out for the Big Grrrls Amazon Prime Video reality.
Months later, in a December 2022 interview on 'The Howard Stern Show', she spoke about the evolution of their relationship, saying that they're "not playing any games with each other anymore. We're very much locked in".

BTS loses global dominance to rising K-pop stars who just beat Kendrick Lamar and Billie Eilish in album sales
BTS is just days away from their big June reunion, with a full-group music comeback likely dropping next year. While the legendary K-pop force that once ruled the global charts may be on track to snatch back their spotlight, part of which dimmed during their military enlistment, for now, The Hollywood Reporter has crowned SEVENTEEN as the 'the world's most successful K-pop band.' The 13-member boy band, formed in 2015, just cracked the global top 3 in album sales alongside pop stars like Taylor Swift, and beating Grammy history maker Kendrick Lamar. In their recent piece, The Edge of Seventeen, the outlet heaped praises on the group's rising cultural dominance, and how these artists are reinventing themselves, doing stadium tours bigger than Bruce Springsteen's and selling as many albums as Taylor Swift. The HYBE label boy band—also home to BTS—is managed by its subsidiary, Pledis Entertainment. SEVENTEEN consists of members Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The 8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino. From giant posters and birthday banners to subway train ads and snack packs with their faces on, Seoul's drowning in SEVENTEEN mania as the group marks 10 years and drops their new album, Happy Burstday. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, in 2024, they were officially the biggest music group in the world in terms of album sales, only Taylor Swift and Drake ranked higher. SEVENTEEN beat out names like The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, and Kendrick Lamar. Big names, some with Academy Awards, others with straight-up Grammy hauls and cult-like followings. Their Asia tour (2023–2024) pulled in a jaw-dropping $98.4 million from just 24 shows, making it the highest-grossing K-pop tour of the year. Also read: Seventeen's Joshua says Jeonghan has 'a lot of worries like him', S Coups is 'straightforward' The HYBE building, currently laser-focused on plotting BTS's post-military comeback, is also soaking in the success of the Shohikigen singers, with a bold message flashing across the HQ: SEVENTEEN will challenge eternity. But that momentum might be heading for a breather, with more members gearing up for enlistment. South Korea requires all men to serve before they hit 30. Jeonghan and Wonwoo have already reported for duty, and others are next in line. Happy Burstday came in swinging, over 2.2 million copies sold on day one. Wild to think back to 2015, when they debuted with 17 Carat and barely moved 1,400 units in the first week. 'We are standing at a new starting line, preparing for a new path ahead and ready to blaze a new trail,' S Coups said during the interview with the HR. 'Most of the members are going to enlist in the military soon. Up until now, we've mostly focused on our group promotions,' Hoshi, the leader of the band, added. 'We would like to show more of our individualities, each of the members' personalities and capabilities, so that when the time comes and we get back together again as a group, we'll be able to showcase ourselves as a better Seventeen.' Also read: BTS mastermind Bang Si Hyuk may face life in prison over suspected $290 million fraud; HYBE shares plunge BTS, on the other hand, dropped their anthology album Proof in 2022. It went on to become the second-highest first-week sales for a BTS album, right behind their 2020 release Map of the Soul: 7. According to The Korea Times, it sold over 2.75 million copies in the first week. Right now, every member of the group is focused on solo projects, with J-Hope on a world tour and Jin simultaneously holding concerts across South Korea. The group is set for a full comeback in June this year, with a possible musical return lined up for 2026.

Woman dragged out of Diddy trial after screaming obscenities: ‘Pull out guns, they are laughing at you..'
One of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' supporters was tossed out of the Manhattan courtroom Tuesday after yelling at Diddy. She kept spewing obscenities at the marshals, mocking them while asking to pull guns as Judge Arun Subramanian watched. Diddy is currently facing five criminal charges, including racketeering, two counts of sex trafficking, fraud, and two counts of arranging transportation of prostitutes. The trial, which began earlier in May, has entered its fourth week. On June 3, the jury heard from Eddy Garcia, who used to work as a security supervisor at a now-shut-down LA hotel, where CNN obtained the video of Combs brutally assaulting his then-partner, Cassie. Combs' former chief financial officer, Derek Ferguson, also took the stand. Also read: Diddy chased Kid Cudi with gun, in ripped pants, after 'kidnapping' employee, threatening to throw her in East River, says ex-aide According to PEOPLE, a heckler was ordered by the judge to be removed from the courtroom after she kept screaming, 'These mother****ers are laughing at you,' at Combs. She then allegedly yelled, 'You're laughing at a Black man's legacy,' and followed it up with, 'Pull your gun out, ninja, I dare you.' The woman kept mocking the marshals while staring at Combs. In return, the Bad Boy record producer didn't react. He quietly watched the situation unfold, turning heads as she was escorted out of the courtroom. Prior to the outburst, the woman was seen sitting in a room jam-packed with journalists and witnesses' families. She was later identified as someone who had been protesting outside the court as part of the 'Free Diddy' campaign launched by some of his fans. The incident led to a delayed testimony from Garcia, who admitted to receiving $100,000 from Combs to keep his mouth shut about the hotel video. Eddy Garcia was granted an immunity deal, under which a person gets protection against self-incrimination as long as they're honest with the court. Garcia said he didn't actually identify Combs and Ventura when he first saw the video and only later realised their celebrity status. He claimed that at the time of the incident, no police officials were called to the site, and Ventura didn't file any complaint either. Later, he recalled getting a personal phone call from Diddy, who offered to 'take care of him financially' if Garcia managed to get rid of or hide the video that could destroy his career. The former hotel staffer admitted his hotel boss was ready to sell a copy of the footage to Combs for $50,000. Garcia ended up signing an NDA with a million-dollar penalty if he breached the contract. He later admitted to concealing facts when a police probe was launched in 2016. Also read: 'Diddy used to like me a lot': Donald Trump says their relationship 'busted up,' doesn't rule out pardon for disgraced mogul On the other hand, talk about Diddy receiving a presidential pardon has skyrocketed. A May report indicated that Diddy's team is exploring the idea of receiving one under the Trump administration. In a recent statement, the President himself addressed the matter, claiming he hasn't received any such request so far, as no one has approached him. Calling Diddy someone he was once close with before stepping into elections, Trump said they lost touch, and he had read some 'nasty comments' made by the rapper. However, the President didn't rule out the possibility of granting Diddy clemency if the disgraced rapper is found guilty.
