Diddy was join by many famous celebrities, including his ex, Jennifer Lopez, and her new fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, as well as Lizzo.
When the “Truth Hurts” singer joined the competition, things got a little racy on the religious celebration as she started to twerk while Diddy’s sons danced on his account.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa!” Diddy yell, hurrying into the screen and stopping the music. “It’s Easter Sunday, let’s play something a little more family-friendly.”
Lizzo looked agitated, speaking, “Sorry, sorry, sorry! Let’s do something fun. Well, don’t play that kind of… play something I can bop to.”
Diddy responds to what song would be suitable, and Lizzo gave up a suggestion, saying, “Play ‘Juice’ by Lizzo!”

Explaining that there was no online drama, Lizzo later repost Diddy’s statement from his own Instagram Stories, supporting his decision.
He said “There’s one thing that I want to make clear. My queen, my sister Lizzo, when I stopped the music it was ’cause it had a lot of curses in there, not ’cause she was twerking,” he said. “She’s one of the best twerkers in the world. Let’s keep that clear. It wasn’t about twerking. You’re allow to twerk on Easter. There was a lot of cursing in the record. And I don’t need child services knocking on my door right now, you understand? So that’s why I stopped the record. Lizzo, we love you and everybody stop looking for the negative, look for the positive!”
