Lizzo appeared to react to Kanye West’s recent comments about her weight.
Lizzo Hints That She Was Offended By Kanye West’s Comments About Her Weight-‘Everybody In America Got My Motherf—ing Name In Their Motherf—ing Mouth’
In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Kanye referenced Lizzo in order to drive home the point that the media were perpetuating the normalisation of obesity. And as Lizzo is one of the very few successful plus-size stars, Kanye used her as an example to drive home that point.
He expanded on how Lizzo had suffered negative backlash after having lost some weight via the help of a personal trainer that they both know. In his comments at the time, Kanye said: “Lizzo works with my trainer, a friend of mine.
“When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots – that’s a term for telemarketer callers – on Instagram, they attack her for losing weight.” In addition, Ye took things even further.
He revealed how he felt the media was using Lizzo as an example to perpetuate the idea that being overweight should be a goal. And in keeping with that, the rapper controversially claimed that this was an attempt at creating a “genocide on the Black race.”
Regardless of whether or not you agree with what Kanye had to say, this was a touchy topic for the following reasons. First of all, there was an inadvertent suggestion that Lizzo was unhappy with her weight.
While there could be an argument for speculating on that, the fact of the matter is that she has not spoken about it publicly which makes Kanye’s comments potentially inflammatory. Secondly, it appears that Lizzo was not best pleased as she has spoken out passionately since those comments, even if she did not mention Kanye by name.
During her concert in Toronto on Friday, 8th October 2022, Lizzo stated the following: “I feel like everybody in America got my motherf—ing name in their motherf—ing mouth for no motherf—ing reason.”
It is fair to say that Lizzo was not impressed with Ye’s comments. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
