Lizzo Had The PERFECT Response To A Body-Shamer On Twitter — ‘Here’s The Attention You Ordered’

J.W.

Lizzo is here to slay, not be body-shamed!!

On Friday, a critic tweeted out a message calling out the songstress and insinuating she is only popular “because there is an obesity epidemic in America.” By Monday, the 31-year-old crafted the PERFECT response to his negativity.

Before we get to her clap-back, here’s the original tweet in question:

“#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. Unfortunately, Many of these people are dying from diabetes and heart disease“

In a follow-up tweet, he added:

“Anybody out here defending mammyism is out of their f**king mind. This lady is an embarrassment to the entire black community.”

For those unaware, a “mammy” is considered an offensive term as it refers to a stereotype held against black women who worked for white families, often taking care of white children. They were typically portrayed as overweight in films, television, and advertisements.

In response, the Truth Hurts artist replied:

“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 😏”

While the man has continued to tweet out additional hateful messages about the same topic, we can only assume she’s feeling good as hell and brushing it off, retweeting a telling message:

“If I responded angrily to every person who seeks to provoke anger from me on social media, I’d never experience peace, purpose or progress. Be a good steward of your energy. It’s okay to let provocateurs leave empty handed.”

ICYMI, she has plenty to distract her from the haters right now! On Saturday, she made her musical guest debut on Saturday Night Live, which is (obviously) a massive honor. But not to worry, the special moment wasn’t lost on her. As we previously reported, the eight-time Grammy Award nominee tweeted out an inspiring AF message to her followers:

“On the left was when I worked for liberty taxes, as a sign spinner… on the right is my @nbcsnl debut. Don’t stop.. we need you. Your time is coming.”

Ch-ch-check out her glow-up (below):

Keep spreading positivity, Lizzo!!
