American Idol judge Lionel Richie has been a subject of concern among social media users since a short clip of him talking about his new granddaughter went viral. While Richie was focused on the birth of his grandchild from his daughter Sofia Richie Grainge, his face was a topic for fans.

The renowned singer looked classy in a black leather jacket and matching T-shirt; however, his face looked puffy and “so tight,” causing social media users to accuse him of getting Botox and fillers. “He needs to stop with the fillers,” someone wrote. “Y’all know damn well he got fillers!” another agreed.

Has Lionel Richie gotten cosmetic surgery?

Away from criticism, Richie referred to the new baby as a “diva,” joking that “you can’t come from Sofia and not have some level of diva-iance.” Earlier this year, he anticipated the “exciting journey” of being a granddad, but he would rather not be called one.

The singer prefers to be called “Pop Pop” because the term grandpa is “a little deep.” Richie’s fans shared in his joy, congratulating the new mom and her husband, Elliott Grainge, in the comments as well. “Bet he waited all night long,” a user teased. Seriously, though, congratulations.”

Richie will be 75 in a few weeks and has mastered the art of staying youthful in old age. His simple cheat codes include “water, sleep, sweat, and sex,” although he previously joked about not lasting “all night long” these days.

He also keeps red meat at bay, drinks a lot of water, and prioritizes fruits and vegetables. The music legend has been honest enough to credit his good genes, having come from a line of gracefully aging grandmothers on both sides. Per cosmetic surgery allegations, he said that going under the knife “locks you in for that year, and after that, you can’t go naturally; you’re staying right there,” implying he could not have done so while working.
