Lizzo has a message for all the body shamers, but especially for one in particular. Comedian Aries Spears called out the Grammy award-winning artist for her weight on “The Art Of Dialogue,” saying: “I can’t get past the fact that she looks like the s–t emoji,” he said. “She’s got a very pretty face, but she keeps showing her body off like, come on, man. Come on, yo.” Spears went on to compare the artist to a “plate of mashed potatoes” and attack those who praise the artist for her body confidence.
The “2 Be Loved” singer took the derogatory comments in stride, using the VMA stage to seemingly address the comedian. Upon winning the Video for Good award at the ceremony for her video “About Damn Time,” Lizzo took the time to address the haters in her acceptance speech. After thanking the audience for their vote, she said: “I want to say thank you so much for supporting me and loving me,” adding, “And now, to the b**ches that got something to say about me in the press, you know what, I’m not going to say nothing. They’ll be like, ‘Lizzo, why don’t you clap back?’ Because b**ch, I’m winning, hoe! Big b**ch is winning, hoe!”
