Lizzo fired back at an internet troll this weekend when he had some rude things to say!
It is no doubt that Lizzo has had an amazing year as a breakout artist. However, she continues to be a polarizing artist because of her message of body acceptance.The singer is unapologetic when it comes to her appearance, which in some ways rubs some people the wrong way. Dr. Boyce Watkins, an author and social commentator was just one of those people.
#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.

Lizzo was quick to fire back, explaining that her success was due to her talent and nothing to do with her appearance.
“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,” she tweeted.
But, even after all of this Watkins had more to say and he wasn’t afraid. He continued to upload a YouTube video where he mentions that to him, Lizzo is just “the fat Cardi B.” WELL DAMN! Watch the full video below.
