Stefon Diggs Vows to Discover Who Lizzo's 'Man on the Vikings' Really is
By Andy Loughmiller
Grammy-nominated hip hop artist Lizzo has a line in the hook of her hit song "Truth Hurts" that suggests that a player on the Minnesota Vikings is her "new man." Well, wide receiver Stefon Diggs is putting on his detective cap in hopes of discovering just whom the the lyric is referring to.
Diggs has been asking teammates in the locker room if they are the unnamed Vikings player mentioned in the song. And he won't stop until he knows for sure.
The fifth-year player out of Maryland has ruled himself out, since he has never met the celebrated songstress. He hasn't cracked the case just yet, but he believes that he is "going to get to the bottom of it."
Lizzo has lived in Minneapolis since moving there from Houston in 2011. It's quite possible that she wasn't being literal in her popular track, but instead just using a reference that would strike a chord with those who are fans of both her music and the local NFL team.
However, that alternative is not nearly as fun, and Diggs seems to agree as he continues to search for answers.
