Lizzo Responds To Body-Shamer: 'The Only Person Who Needs To Do Better Is You'

Lizzo has absolutely no time for internet trolls. And today (December 23), she clapped back at someone who criticized her weight and dared to insinuate that her body is the sole reason for her success.


According to a tweet from user @drboycewatkins1, the "Truth Hurts" singer popular "because there really is an obesity epidemic In the
U.S. And while most people admire the singer-rapper-flautist for being body positive and encouraging her fans to love the skin they're in, the user claims her message is doing more harm than good. "Rather than encouraging people to do better, we are simply lying to them and telling them that they are just fine the way they are," he tweeted.


Lizzo took to Twitter to shut that body-shaming rhetoric down and spell out the real reason for her meteoric success:


"I'm popular because I write good songs and I'm talented and perform high energy hour plus 1/2 shows filled with love," she wrote. "The only person who needs to do better is you." Lizzo then advised that Watkins stop talking about her publicly in a desperate attempt for attention, and as a substitute, begin focusing on himself. "Keep my name out ya mouth & look in the resemble before you come for me," she added. "Here's the eye you ordered."


Unsurprisingly, it didn't take long for Lizzo's devoted fan base to come to her defense. "Slay them queen," one individual wrote. "Go off sis," added another.


Although maybe the ideal response was from a fan who's so over males sharing their unsolicited suggestions about females. "Honestly tired of hearing men's suggestions on females and females they wrote. "Never ending onslaught of suggestions on our bodies, our appearances, our actions, and on the violence against us. I don't care what letters are in front of your name, learn as soon as to mind your agency or how to listen."
