While Lizzo portrays herself as confident and body-positive, she's still sensitive about the way she looks.
Yesterday, she broke down and cried on IG Live over being trolled.
"Sometimes I feel like the world just don't love me back. It's like it doesn't matter how much positive energy you put into the world, you're still gonna have people who have something mean to say about you,"she said. "People saying sh*t about me that doesn't even make sense. It's fat-phobic, it's racist and it's hurtful," she said, noting that it's cool if you don't like the song, but not liking the singer for the way she looks? Not cool.
"I'm not making music for anybody. I'm a Black woman making music," Lizzo, 33, added. "I make Black music, period. I'm not serving anyone but myself. Everyone is invited to a Lizzo show, to a Lizzo song. To this good energy. Everyone is invited."
After Lizzo's display, her new musical partner Cardi B defended her.
When you stand up for yourself they claim your problematic & sensitive.When you don’t they tear you apart until you crying like this. Whether you skinny,big,plastic, they going to always try to put their insecurities on you.Remember these are nerds looking at the popular table. https://t.co/jE5eJw8XP6

Cardi also defended the performance of "Rumors", her track with Lizzo.
Rumors is doing great. Stop trying to say the song is flopping to dismiss a woman emotions on bullying or acting like they need sympathy. The song is top 10 on all platforms. Body shaming and callin her mammy is mean & racist as fuck. pic.twitter.com/Dr2t06mjEs
