Lizzo buys her mom a brand new Audi for Christmas
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
Lizzo promised to take care of her mom after her dad died and she is doing just that!
With a reported net worth of around $10 million (roughly R147 million), Lizzo can afford to splash out on lavish gifts for her family.
Top of her Christmas list this year is her mother, Shari Johnson-Jefferson.
The 'Truth Hurts' hitmaker just bought her mom a brand new Audi.
"Got my mommy a brand new Audi for Xmas. I remember crying in my car when my daddy passed, no job, no money nowhere to live, wishing I could one day provide for my family... I couldn't do it for my dad so ima make sure I spoil Mama. Happy holidays y’all," she wrote on Instagram.

The gift is a full-circle moment for Lizzo, who once revealed in an interview that she spent thanksgiving in her car because she had nowhere to stay.
She had dropped out of college after her dad died and her life took a turn for the worse.
"I kind of really gave up. I was depressed. I didn't have a purpose like I didn't feel like I had a purpose for being a musician or anything. So that turned into, 'Oh can I sleep on your couch,' and that eventually, I got really guilt-ridden. So all I had was this car. It was a Subaru.
"That was my home for a little. I spent Thanksgiving in that car, and I remember I cried myself to sleep," she told 'CBS This Morning' in an interview.
