Lizzo is determined to not sit silently while being dragged online. The “About Damn Time” singer took to Instagram to address accusations that she was “breathing loud” during her recent appearance on Kai Cenat’s viral Twitch livestream event, “Mafiathon 2.”
In a video posted to her Instagram, Lizzo addressed the negative comments, calling out the internet’s tendency to scrutinize and target plus-sized women.
“I know the internet is good for one thing: talking cash money [stuff] about fat girls,” Lizzo began in her video, directly addressing her critics. “I know that. I know that’s what you do. I know you like it. It’s fun for you. It makes you feel special and intelligent. But what I will not allow is for y’all to lie on me.”
Lizzo pointed out that Kai Cenat, who was sitting close to her during the stream, was the one with a loud breathing pattern due to his microphone placement.
“And (B), y’all know Kai Cenat is a loud [butt] breather,” Lizzo said with frustration. “And y’all know his microphone was right by his nose, and his head was in his lap. That’s the thing that’s breathing loud!”
To drive her point home, Lizzo demonstrated why the claims didn’t add up. She gestured to her shoulders and face, adding, “How on earth am I breathing loud when the body of the breather didn’t change from here [gesturing to her shoulder] to here [touching her nose]? How am I breathing loud? My shoulders don’t even move with the sound!”
Despite her incredible talent and soaring success, the singer frequently becomes the target of unwarranted criticism. Much of this negativity hides behind a facade of harmless commentary, but in reality, it often stems from deep-rooted fatphobia.
But most recently, the musician shocked her fans after they noticed her weight loss transformation. Many fans applauded the singer’s significant weight loss, some alluded to the idea that Lizzo had used weight loss drugs to achieve her transformation.
However, Lizzo dismissed speculations about using Ozempic to lose weight by sharing her daily workouts and delicious and nutritious meals with her followers on social media.
