T.I. is coming to Lizzo’s defense after the Grammy Award winner had a tearful moment on Instagram Live about all the hate she’s received since dropping “Rumors” with Cardi B.
On Sunday (August 22), the Hustle Gang boss headed to Instagram Live with a message for Lizzo, who has been a huge advocate for body positivity long before exploding onto the scene in 2019 with Cuz I Love You.
“My message to Lizzo,” he begins. “I don’t know Lizzo personally. Listen, sweetheart, you are beautiful, you are talented, you are good enough for all the great things the world has to offer, don’t wait on nobody out there in the public to validate that.
“Their perception of you has more to do with them than it does with you. All these people who out here who have negative things to say it’s because they feel negatively about themselves.”
Lizzo took her frustrations to Instagram on August 15, saying in part, “Sometimes I feel like the world just don’t love me back. It’s like it doesn’t matter how much positive energy you put into the world, you’re still going to have people who have something mean to say about you.
“And for the most part it doesn’t hurt my feelings; I don’t care. I just think when I’m working this hard, my tolerance gets lower. My patience is lower. I’m more sensitive and it gets to me.”
She added, “People saying shit about me that just doesn’t even make sense. It’s fat-phobic, and it’s racist and it’s hurtful. If you don’t like my music, cool. If you don’t like ‘Rumors’ the song, cool. But a lot of people don’t like me because of the way I look.”
The video prompted Facebook to take action and scrub several of the comments from her posts.
Lizzo has often been the target of people’s criticisms, but she usually has a rebuttal ready for her haters. In June 2020, she had a message for all those who continued to body shame her.
“I have been working out consistently for the last five years and it may come as a surprise to some of y’all that I’m not working out to have your ideal body type,” she explained via TikTok. “I’m working out to have my ideal body type and you know what type that is? None of your fucking business ’cause I am beautiful. I am strong. I do my job and I stay on my job.

“So next time you wanna come to somebody and judge them whether they drink kale smoothies or eat McDonald’s or work out or not work out, how about you look at your own fucking self and worry about your own god damn body because health is not just determined on what you look like on the outside, health is also what happens on the inside. And a lot of y’all need to do a fucking cleanse for your insides. Namaste. Have a great day.”
As for “Rumors” collaborator Cardi B, she also came to her aid and tweeted, “When you stand up for yourself they claim your problematic & sensitive. When you don’t they tear you apart until you crying like this. Whether you skinny, big, plastic, they going to always try to put their insecurities on you. Remember these are nerds looking at the popular table.”
All of this is ridiculous. This “lady” has been taunting and trolling people with her weight her entire career. People are just giving her back the same energy she puts out. If she wants to force herself and her weight in unflattering outfits on people and use it to taunt folks she should be prepared for the push back. She acts like shes just going to force people to be attracted to her with her antics. Newsflash it hasnt and wont work and this is the response you are going to continue getting until u stop trying to rub your weight in everybodies face.
Shut your sex slave having trap hopping fat farm loving has-been rachet ass up. You always got to put your two cents in, you anorexic light skinned Trick Daddy looking goof.
Stop reporting on this heifer please. She doesn’t deserve the attention. She deserves to sit in the pasture peaceful until her time is up. That’s the best way to handle this situation.
I’m convinced someone is feeding all these rappers lines….. ” do it or we will release the info on you and mayor from atl, you know we got dirt on you boy!!!”
yeah on this site itself pretty nasty somehow.
so basically ti like wilderbeasts on the low. haaaaa
I would smash Lizzo.. I don’t know about her doing cowgirl tho..
Ok, whatever Herpules.
She could transfer half her weight to T.I. and still weigh more than him.
The problem is their media trying to act like being 400 pounds is naturally healthy state for black women – WHICH IT IS NOT and baiting women into not taking care of themselves acting like everyone is just jealous. Also when you a a big pop star they can make you look glamorous a 400 and 500 pounds in real life it’s very difficult. So Lizzo gets a lot of backlash from people tired of seeing Lizzo clones at every hair salon and take out spot in the hood. Take care of yourself, take care of your body and your body will take care of you
Lizzo is talented and pretty – to a point. we all know the other side of big and beautiful – the walkers and the scooters, the poor health and then not being able to leave a room. easy to be “big boned” at 25 but it catches up to folks fast with an unhealthy lifestyle. not saying Lizzo should be ashamed to walk the streets it takes all kinds in this world
No, we are tired of the fat sassy mammy image. It’s been happening since the 1920s
Sorry TI youre wrong. And thats coming from a fan. When you living large (literally) fat jokes come with the territory. If you cant take the heat, get out the kitchen. If you cant take fat haters, then get out of the fat game. Hit the gym. Its not youre right to control other peoples opinions on social media. They entitled to laugh at fat just as much as you are entitled to embrace fat. America is all about free speech. If you can influence kids on social media to think fat is cool, parents have a right to combat that with good old fashioned fat shaming. No matter ho much you GO BACK on social media and cry about it, its freedom of speech aka the first amendment.
Straight up. Fat people are nasty. Not just because looking fat is nasty but also because it shows they don’t give a fuck about themselves and eat like animals. Exercise and eat less all you fat mfs
Asshole 4 real!!!
The problem is lizzo started out fake confident. Always twerking then when people called her out its suddenly fat shaming. You should have some respect for yourself. I think deep down she is very insecure.
okay so free speech they just make examples of themselves. this woman has what is called an EATING DISORDER. i strongly suggest garcinia 4 times a day along with fluoxateen (prescription medicine) 2 times a day to keep control of libido. a meal replacement diet as well. sex will make you hungry. take that treatment i can guarantee you will lose weight. don’t exercise just diet. bottom line is this is not healthy.
What happened to the My Skin video you made …saying you can’t take this from me and you didn’t care what people say or think now you are whining like a 2 year old…what happened to F— what people say…you were encouraging and bold when you first came out where is that girl the BIG BITCH..I was with you and on your side regardless… now I’m not sure you even like yourself as you try to make us believe….You are Big and Bold stay that way don’t let them bring you down…GO LIZZO you got this..
I don’t care what anybody says, but Lizzo is the biggest pop star in the game right now!
