Lizzois firing back at a troll who says she’s only popular because “there is an obesity epidemic in America.”
Theinsultcame on Monday when a Twitter user wrote, “#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 user continued. “Unfortunately, many of these people are dying from diabetes and heart disease.”
Lizzo, 31, was quick to clap back, explaining that her fame has 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,” Lizzo tweeted.
“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 added.
The Twitter exchange comes just a few days after Lizzoreflected on how far she’s comein her career.
