Lizzo has responded to fat-shamers online.
The Grammy-winning artist went on her official Instagram page to call out people making jokes about her body.
“Today I came across a fat joke about me in 2025 and it was going viral,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself relaxing in a yellow and black snakeskin bikini.
“It was a silly joke and they were laughing at me simply because I’m fat. Let me remind everyone to never let anyone make you feel bad for what you decide to do with your own body. When you are bigger, they talk st. When you are smaller, they talk st. Your body will never be enough for them because it is not meant for them. It is meant for you.”
The About Damn Time singer has faced body-shaming comments throughout her entire mainstream pop career.
Earlier this year, during an appearance on the Just Trish podcast, Lizzo shared that she tried Ozempic but eventually chose to focus on changing her diet as part of her personal weight loss journey.
“If I get a BBL, mind ur business. If I lose 100lbs, mind ur business. If I gain every pound back and then some, mind ur f**king business,” she wrote at the end of her caption.
“Anyways, my fat ass stays living with a paid-off mortgage in y’all b**ches heads.”
Lizzo’s message to her critics comes shortly after she drew attention for a Substack essay she posted titled Cancel Me (Again): A ‘Cancelled’ Woman’s Take on Why Everyone Should Get Cancelled at Least Once.
“Not everybody liked my most recent essay and that is exactly why I wrote it,” she said in a follow up post.
“I deserve the freedom to express myself like anyone else. I am human and I have earned the right to be wrong, to be prickly and even unlikable sometimes. It feels freeing for someone like me who used to be a chronic people pleaser. Thank you for the comments and the criticism. I welcome all of it.”

A$AP Rocky has revealed that it took years of persistence before Tim Burton agreed to create the cover artwork for his upcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb. The rapper reflected on how the unlikely collaboration finally came together during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday.
Going into detail about the process, Rocky confessed that he “basically had to stalk and harass him for a few years” before things clicked. He explained, “I reached out and told him I would love to hang out, play him some vibes and just connect. I ended up going to Malibu while he was on a break, and he was feeling it. I played him an early version of the album and he really liked it. That’s when I asked, ‘Do you think you might want to do the illustration for this?’ He was open to it, but then suddenly he had Wednesday and Beetlejuice 2 going on. I realized this was going to take a lot longer than I thought.”
A$AP Rocky went on to describe a moment that really stuck with him during that visit. “While I was there, I noticed a sketch sitting on the table and asked if he drew it,” he said. “He told me that every morning he and his daughter work on drawings together. He starts one, then she comes in and finishes it or changes it. It’s something they practice daily. I saw it as their bond, and to me, that felt priceless.”
On Tuesday, A$AP Rocky also released a double music video for his tracks “WHISKEY” and “BLACK DEMARCO.” Tim Burton appears in the visual and contributed multiple illustrations that tie into the project.
Alongside the release of the “WHISKEY” and “BLACK DEMARCO” video, Rocky officially unveiled the Don’t Be Dumb World Tour. The run will include 42 dates across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom, with shows scheduled throughout 2026.
