The author and social commentator Dr. Boyce Watkins said that Lizzo is only popular because of her size.

#Lizzo popular is because there is an obesity epidemic in America. 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.

The "Truth Hurts" singer responded Monday on Twitter and blasted Watkins for his comment. She also said he's not all that skinny himself.

I’m popular because I write good songs and I’m talented and perform high energy hour and a half shows filled with love.

The only person who needs to do better is you.

Keep my name out ya mouth & look in the mirror before you come for me.

Here’s the attention you ordered 😏 https://t.co/zXnOv4f9Dr
