Lizzo and Cardi B didn't shy away from exposing their so-called biggest secrets in their empowering new single "Rumors" and its accompanying music video that depicts them as Greek goddesses.

The track, which dropped Friday at midnight, opens with Lizzo fessing up to several crimes she's accused of before jubilantly declaring, "All the rumors are true!"

The single finds the two Grammy winners mocking and embracing the gossip that have been spread about them. However, the main message of "Rumors" is telling haters to focus on the bigger problems of the world and not obsess over what two women choose to do with their bodies and free time.

"Spendin' all your time tryna break a woman down / Realer s--- is goin' on, baby, take a look around / If you thought that I was ratchet with my a-- hangin' out / Just wait until the summer when they let me out the house, b----," Lizzo sings.

As for Cardi, she calls out how spreading gossip isn't just an American problem -- it's a global issue.

"They even post it on blogs overseas / And lie in a language I can't even read / The f--- do this mean?" Cardi raps before declaring she and Lizzo are targeted because they are successful women but maintaining that nothing's going to stop them from living their life.

And while she and Cardi B readily confess to all the rumors about them, Lizzo sadly reveals one isn't true -- yet: She hasn't hooked up with Drake.
