But after a recent tour stop in California, Lizzo shared a clip of her stage show reminding folks that she isn’t about to give in to her detractors.
In the video, Lizzo holds up a sign handed to her from someone in the front row—it reads: “I’m sorry people on Twitter suck. You are beautiful and special.” Lizzo posted the clip a couple of days aftershe took to Twitterto post a thread of rude tweets making fun of her figure. “I literally NEVER search my name, this stuff just comes up on my TL [timeline] and my FYP [For You page], it’s wild,” she wrote. Thenshe added: “Being fat isn’t my ‘brand.’ Being fat is what my body looks [like]. That’s it. That’s all.”
