Lizzo is one again taking aim at body shaming, declaring that the “discourse on bodies is officially tired.”
In a video she captioned “FOR THE PPL IN THE BACK,” the pop star spoke about some of the comments she gets about her appearance.
“Are we ok?,” she asked. “Do you see the delusion?
“Do we realize that artists are not here to fit into your beauty standards? Artists are here to make art. And this body is art. And imma do whatever I want with this body.”
Lizzo said she wishes people had to pay a fee to comment on social media posts “so we could see how much time we are f**king wasting on the wrong thing.”
She pleaded: “Can we leave that s**t back there please?”

Lizzo’s message to trolls echoed one she shared in a TikTok video in 2020. “I’m not working out to have your ideal body type, I’m working out to have my ideal body type,” she said. “And you know what type that is? None of your f**king business because I am beautiful, I am strong, I do my job and I stay on my job.”
Last March, Lizzo complained about how her size has been a topic of conversation since she burst into the spotlight.
“Okay, we all know I'm fat,” she told People. “I know I'm fat. It doesn't bother me. I like being fat, and I'm beautiful and I'm healthy. So can we move on?”
