Lizzo is ringing in the New Year by celebrating putting on a few extra pounds.
The Grammy award-winning star posted a video of herself wearing a chocolate brown one-piece and gyrating in what appears to be her bathroom.
“Bruh I’m gaining weight I look tf GOODT” she captioned the clip.
Lizzo has fought against body-shaming trolls for the best part of the year and has taken to social media several times to pour her heart out about how the negative remarks impacted her.
In her summer “Rumors” collab with Cardi B, the singer chose plus-sized dancers to feature in her video—and received a torrent of backlash.
“I’m not making music for anybody. I’m a Black woman making music,” she said on an August livestream. “I make Black music, period. I’m not serving anyone but myself. Everyone is invited to a Lizzo show, to a Lizzo song. It’s fatphobic, it’s racist, and it’s hurtful,” she says in the video.
“What I won’t accept is y’all doing this to Black women over and over and over again, especially us big Black girls,” the singer continued. “When we don’t fit into the box that you want to put us in, you just unleash hatred onto us. It’s not cool. I’m doing this s—t for the big Black women in the future who just want to live their lives without being scrutinized or put into boxes.”
Two months later, she addressed her controversial ASSets in a TED Talk.
“My a— has been the topic of conversation, my ass has been in magazines, Rihanna gave my a— a standing ovation,” said Lizzo at the beginning of the lecture. “Yes, my booty. My least favorite part of my body. How did this happen? Twerking. Through the movement of twerking, I discovered my a— is my greatest asset. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to TED Twerk.”
