Most recently, the singer suggested they star together in a previously announcedremake of 1992’sThe Bodyguard, which starredWhitney Houstonas pop star Rachel Marron andKevin Costneras her bodyguard and romantic interest Frank Farmer.
The pair’s exchange began in April when Lizzo, 33,drunkenly slid into Chris' DMs, sending him the emojis for dashing away, a woman playing handball and a basketball. “Don’t drink and DM, kids…. for legal porpoises this is a joke,” she wrote, revealing the screenshot on TikTok.

Lizzo later revealed that Chris not only followed her, butmessaged her back. “No shame in a drunk DM. God knows I’ve done worse on this app lol,” he wrote, likelyreferring to the NSFW photo he accidentally sharedlast year.
With Chris making his musical prowess known, perhaps a collab is on the way for him and the “Truth Hurts” artist.
