Lizzo breaks down as she calls out ‘fatphobic’ and racist comments
Lizzo broke down in tears as she called out “fatphobic” and racist comments on social media following the release of her new track “Rumours”.
The three-time Grammy winner addressed the comments she received while on Instagram Live, sharing how much the insults have hurt her.
“People saying s*** about me that just doesn’t even make sense. It’s fatphobic; it’s racist, and it’s hurtful,” she said.
“What I won’t accept is y’all doing this to black women over and over and over again, especially us big black girls.”
Lizzo also later tweeted about the importance of “loving yourself”.
