Lizzo accused a Postmates driver of stealing her order on Twitter — and soon got served up an angry online backlash.
The “Truth Hurts” rapper, 31, called out both the driver and Postmates on the social medium Monday, writing in a since-deleted tweet, “Hey @Postmates this girl Tiffany W. stole my food. she lucky I don’t fight no more.”
Postmates responded to Lizzo, asking her to DM them and apologized for the “less than satisfactory experience.”
Some Twitter users defended Lizzo for making her complaint public, while others thought she was a “snitch” for ratting out Tiffany W. to Postmates.
“Jesus. This poor girl is going to get fired and then hunted down. Come on, Lizzo,” tweeted one follower.
“Snitches get stitches,” wrote another.
“So you’ve publicly shamed someone who works in the service industry… you’ve nearly a million twitter followers… and you’ve now DMd their employer who will likely sack the individual you shamed publicly after accusing her of theft when you don’t actually know what happened…,” tweeted another.
However, a source told Page Six that the delivery person waited for the allotted five minutes and wasn’t able to reach the “Juice” performer, so she moved on as she was supposed to.
A Postmates spokesperson told Page Six in a statement, “As soon as Lizzo reached out, we looked into the matter and quickly resolved the issue. We apologize to Lizzo for any inconvenience.”
Lizzo later atoned on Twitter, writing, “I apologize for putting that girl on blast. I understand I have a large following and that there were so many variables that could’ve put her in danger. Imma really be more responsible with my use of social media and check my petty and my pride at the door. ?”
