Lizzo is vocal about her battles with online trolls who constantly comment on her body and the clothes that she wears.
The “Rumors” artist hopped on Instagram live to address people who criticized the outfit she wore to Cardi B’s Passa Passa-themed birthday party in Los Angeles.
A troll made a distasteful comment during the livestream and Lizzo told them where they can kiss. “Kiss my fat Black ass, bitch,” she said after pulling her pants down and twerking her bare bottom in front of the camera.
“Kiss my fucking asshole!” Lizzo said later in the livestream, presumably in response to another mean comment. “Just for that you can kiss my whole ass again.”
Lizzo propped herself as a body positivity advocate and did a TED Talk recently to discuss the history of twerking and how she learned to love the skin that she’s in.
“I used to hate my ass, believe it or not,” Lizzo says during the TED. “I have my father’s shape and my mother’s thighs, so it’s big, and long. I used to think that only asses like J.Lo’s or Beyoncé’s could be famous. I never thought that could happen to me.”
Thanks to twerking, Lizzo realized that she actually loves her shape. “I grew up in an era where having a big ass wasn’t mainstream,” she said. “How did this happen? Twerking. Through the movement of twerking, I realized that my ass is my greatest asset. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my TED Twerk.”
