Actress/singer Jade Novah put a twist on her son’s back to school ritual by creating a funny video about the perils of parenthood for anyone who is trying to get their kids out of the door in time for class. The truth is: it ain’t easy and so Novah, with the help of her son, remixed Lizzo’s hit song, “Truth Hurts” giving desperate parents the picker-upper they need to get their kids on board with getting back in the full swing of things.

Recently, legendary rapper Missy Elliott teamed up and dropped the video for Lizzo’s track “Tempo,” which features Elliot who Lizzo has long cited as one of her biggest musical influences.
“Without [Missy Elliot] I would have been trying to chase a completely different type of career,” confessed Lizzo in a mash-up tribute video the singer recently shared with her followers.
