Lizzo Calls Out The ‘Delusional’ And Conflicting Things Fans Say About Her Body

Lizzo has responded to her critics by telling them that the conversation about bodies in public is becoming old.

The singer of "Truth Hurts" used TikTok to react against those who continue to criticize her figure.

The 34-year-old discusses how she receives inconsistent feedback, such as "you're so little" and "you're so big," in the video.

She says: “The discourse around bodies is officially tired.”

She continues: “I have seen comments go from, ‘Oh my gosh, I liked you when you were thick. Why’d you lose weight?’ to ‘Oh my gosh, why’d you get a BBL? I liked your body before.’ to ‘Oh my gosh, you’re so big! You need to lose weight—but for your health!’ to ‘Oh my gosh, you’re so little you need to get a** or t**ties or something,’ to ‘Oh my gosh, why did she get all that work done? It’s just too much work.”

“Are we okay? Do you see the delusion?”

She continues, saying that instead of creating "art," artists are here to challenge conventional beauty notions.

Lizzo adds: “This body? Is art. And I'm going to do whatever I want with this body."

If people had to pay to send messages, the singer claims, they wouldn't be saying things like this.

She says: "I wish that comments cost y'all money. So we could see how much time we're f**king wasting on the wrong thing."

Although Lizzo expressed her gratitude that body positivity has gained widespread attention in 2020, she also expressed her belief that the movement no longer serves the purposes it was intended to serve.

She told Vogue: “It’s commercialized. Now, you look at the hashtag ‘body positive,’ and you see smaller-framed girls, curvier girls.”

“Lotta white girls. And I feel no way about that because inclusivity is what my message is always about.”

"I’m glad that this conversation is being included in the mainstream narrative.”

"What I don’t like is how the people that this term was created for are not benefiting from it.”

Instead, the Grammy-Award-winning singer wants to be ‘body-normative’.

She said: “I want to normalize my body. And not just be like, ‘Ooh, look at this cool movement. Being fat is body positive'.”

"No, being fat is normal.”
