The 35-year-old songstress threatened that she will quit her music career as she received too many offensive and negative comments from people regarding her weight.
The About Damn Time Singer generally known for her body-positive advocacy, frequently calls out her trolls when they drop mean comments on her posts about her weight. But, she has done with all this now.
Lizzo whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson got offended after receiving a hate comment from a social media user, Layah Heilpern on Twitter, and then she said enough is enough
Layah Heilpern wrote, “How is Lizzo still THIS fat when she’s constantly moving this much on stage?! I wonder what she must be eating,”

After her tweet, the star who feels proud of her plus size and owns an inclusive shapewear line, slammed her haters by saying that she has been tired of this offensive bullsh*t.
“JUST logged on and the app and this is the type of s**t I see about me on a daily basis It’s really starting to make me hate the world,” she said in her repost.
“Then someone in the comments said I eat “lots of fast food” I LITERALLY STOPPED EATING FAST FOOD YEARS AGO… I’m tired of explaining myself all the time and I just wanna get on this app w/out seeing my name in some bulls**t.”
Lizzo responds to the onslaught of fatphobic comments she faces daily:
“Y'all don't know how close I be to giving up on everyone and quitting and enjoying my money and my man on a FUCKING FARM..” pic.twitter.com/FkDtwxZfti

She also said that despite avoiding fast food for several years, eating only healthy food every time, and doing exercises, her body looks like this, and she is so proud of her body whatever it is.
“Y’all really need to touch grass… I’m not trying to BE fat I’m not trying to BE smaller I’m literally just trying to live and be healthy. This is what my body looks like even when I’m eating super clean and working out! Yall speak on s**t y’all know NOTHING ABOUT and I’m starting to get heated,” Lizzo said.
“I HATE IT HERE,” she told about Twitter. “The Love definitely do not outweigh the Hate on social media… all because I’m fat???? This is CRAZY. Y’all don’t know how close I be to giving up on everyone and quitting and enjoying my money and my man on a F*****G FARM…”

At the beginning of her post, she wrote that she has been tired of watching her name again and again just because of some negative people who sends her online hate every day.
“I literally NEVER search my name this stuff just comes up on my TL & my FYP it’s wild. I swear I just wanna look at dance videos and science news and this s**t comes in every day…” Lizzo wrote.
“ALSO: to the people who haven’t had an original thought or fresh air in years… BEING FAT ISNT MY ‘BRAND’ BEING FAT IS WHAT MY BODY LOOKS THAT. THATS IT. THATS ALL. My ‘brand’ is FEEL GOOD MUSIC My ‘brand’ is CHAMPIONING ALL PEOPLE My ‘brand’ is BLACK GIRL LIBERATION.”
“I’ve always led w my TALENT… But when I dropped Good As Hell feel good music was “corny” When I dropped Juice disco pop wasn’t “for them” When I was body positive in 2016 being body positive was “pandering” Now everybody on that wave and I’m still s**t on?! man f*** y’all.”
And the things didn’t stop here as the musician also decided to take her Instagram where she posted a bunch of sultry snaps.
“I hate everyone today.” Her caption read under the post.
The fuming star posted a video on her Instagram feed too where she was calling out her trolls at her recent concert. She wrote under the video.
“I WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT HOW DIFFICULT YALL MAKE IT FOR FAT PEOPLE TO SIMPLY EXIST. MINDING YOUR BUSINESS IS *FREE*”
“IF THE INTERNET WAS LIMITED AND ONE COMMENT TOOK 24HRS TO POST I WONDER WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA WOULD BE LIKE.”
After her response, some of her fans came forward and defended her on Twitter and Instagram, and bashed her haters by saying that nobody could body shame their favorite musician.
“Lizzo quite literally does nothing but live her life unapologetically, & she is hit with the most vile vitriol daily. All because instead of people finding joy in their own lives, they do all they can to cause pain in others. It’s truly disgusting & she deserves so much better,” someone wrote.

“It’s ridiculous that Lizzo has to login everyday and see thinkpieces about her body. She’s performing a sold out tour, serving face, on a tv show every other night. Instead of talking about her success, people are constantly trying to steal her light,” a second comment read.
