LIZZO ADDRESSES INTERNET TROLLS

Lizzo and Cardi B fans were excited after the release of their new collaboration Rumors. The single was released on Friday, 13 August. There were a few internet trolls who used the opportunity to pen hateful comments about Lizzo and she was devastated to read what some people had said about her. 

She shared that on days she should feel the happiest, she feels down. “I’ve worked so hard”, she expresses. 

“I’m putting so much loving energy into the world, and sometimes I feel like the world just doesn’t love me back. It’s like it doesn’t matter how much positive energy you put into the world, you’re still gonna have people who still have something mean to say about you.” 

‘MY TOLERANCE IS LOWER’

The Grammy-award winning artist mentions that as she works harder, her tolerance gets lower and she is more sensitive. 

“People saying sh*t about me that just doesn’t even make sense. It’s fatphobic, it’s racist and it’s hurtful. If you don’t like my music, cool. If you don’t like Rumors, cool. But, a lot of people don’t like me because of the way I look”. 

She continues to mention that she has been in shock since Rumors was released on 13 August, because of how positively the song was received. 

She expressed her gratitude towards those who have watched the music video.
