Lizzo captured the music community’s attention after sharing a tearful Instagram video of herself crying about the online bullying she’s received in the wake of “Rumors,” her collaboration with Cardi B.
The Grammy Award-winning singer questioned why so many “fat-phobic” and “racist” comments are thrown her way when she’s simply trying to spread nothing but love and positivity. After finding support from Cardi B, now her husband Offset is chiming in on the situation.
TMZ caught up with the Migos rapper in Beverly Hills on Wednesday (August 18) and asked what he thought about the controversy.
“Let these beautiful Black women be great,” he said. “Stop judging. We work hard being entertainers for the world.”
In the wake of Lizzo’s video, Facebook decided to scrub the negative comments from her posts. Offset agreed it was “the right thing to do.”
Facebook has already removed dozens of inflammatory remarks and vowed to review reports of negative comments on an “ongoing basis.” Sources say Facebook will also be removing any accounts of users who consistently break community guidelines around hate speech, harassment and bullying.
Lizzo Breaks Down In Tears After Criticism Over Cardi B 'Rumors' Video: 'It's Fat-Phobic, Racist + Hurtful'
Lizzo uploaded the video on Sunday (August 15) and explained, “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.”
Cardi B immediately came to her defense 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.”
Check out her comments below.
N****, Shut.
She’s a troll who can’t handle what she dishes out and now you’re defending her so screw you too…. besides your group sucks ass as rappers anyways.
What’s the name of your group/album/label?
It’s called ocúpate de tus malditos asuntos y cierra la boca. Eso es lo que significa maricón.
Lol muriendo de la fucking risa buen comentario. A ese huele B..
Dude knows damn well he wouldnt be hittin no big girl like that. Probably got his bih asking him to tweet something bout it.
You’d know that because yo’ bitch bosses you around, too, huh? You know the feeling. #Mamon
Reposting again because Lizzo ate my last comment.
Reposting again because OG stands for Old Gay ass vato!
What’s up with you posting gay sh*t on here? por favor deja de hablar de la homosexualidad aquí
oh please she is a humpbackWhale-wilderbeast type chick. what we not about to do is give these type of women a pass for being a lardass of a woman
Lizzo is so fat it took NationWide 15 years to get on her side.lol
Yep, she’s so fat the flash died half way running around her.
Your mom is a lard-ass, and what sucks (besides her) is that she had you. #Hijole
Somebody’s mad that they got a fat trans girlfriend lol. Slow down, Bobby Valentino…We know it’s you… you ain’t fooling anyone lol.
Lizzo is spreading an unhealthy message to young girls that being obese is ok. It’s NOT ok and greatly increases your risk of dying prematurely along with high blood pressure, diabetes, etc
If that was your sister yall would talk differently. Gotta love you keyboard tough guys
Yep, still would talk sh*t so shut up and move on or go cry like Lizzo
If that was my sister I’d get on her ass about her fucked up unhealthy ways. You sensitive fuck!
She’s so big that when she volunteered for the space program, the rocket crashed and she broke Orion’s Belt on her way down.
Lizzo is so fat that when she first heard Biggie’s “What’s Beef” , she asked for a menu.
Lmfao I’m drunk and laughing my ass off
Being fat is great !! Next time you catch a stroke, remember not to say anything or else you’ll hurt her feelings.
But donda is still the biggest ratchet of all time. Kimye a cuckold who is upset because his trophy wife was with half of the industry b4 he got married to her. This arrogant, narcissistic, self absorbed egomanic who proclaims himself to be a genius with his artistic vision that the regular man can’t understand is still upset because his morning breath smells like Ray J genitals
Nah – this isn’t about entertainment. This is about health. Being fat leads to diabetes, high cholesterol, stroke, and many other lifestyle issues. And no, we’re not entertained. Watching someone unhealthy twerk on stage is disgusting. I would say that shit to my own sister or mother. Quit it with the bullshit.
You would use fat shaming language with your mother?
Offset the scale
Luckily there’s Hip Hop websites comments sections for people 2B as nasty as they wanna be.
Since you’re tha R, don’t you mean people 2P as nasty as they want to pee.
Oh yeah, it’s about health. Big Pun was fat, Biggie was fat, Fat Joe – fat. Yet all of them can be themselves without people on the internet talking shit. I’m sure all you warriors are models, huh? Lmao
Pun died bc of being fat, big was shot, and fat joe lost a lot of weight and lives a considerably healthy lifestyle, windows Rick Ross. We don’t need to celebrate mediocrity and slobbish unhealthiness like lizzo does.
*so does Rick Ross. Damn autocorrect.
Ppl are just fukn haters they deal with the devil on a daily basis .. negative energy is being put out into the universe …I’m plus sized and I’m not ashamed of it ..if God wanted me to be skinny I would be…ppl worry about the wrong shit in this world minding everyone else s business but their own…. acting like they truly care but being rude hating because the shoe ain’t on your foot ?FOH….and say what you want about me idngaf @ all…FN Trolls life be miserable as fuk….smh
cardi b retard SHUT THE WHOLE FUCK UP HOE
LMFAO at least she has regular sex unlike you masturbating!
You need to stop watching your mother
I wonder what it’s like for a mentally retarded person to have sex, somebody should ask Cardi B.
Wow!! That was not necessary at all ?
Heres the bottom line. You will never get EVERYONE on your side. There will always be hate, there will always be rude comments, there will always be personal attacks. Unfortunately its the price you pay when you are in the spotlight, thats just how it is. Facebook can hide all the comments they want but it will still be there. Put every ounce of positivity and love you can muster into the world, guess what you will still get….Hate on the internet. The internet will never be a place of peace and love. this is the birthplace of trolls and shitposters, nothing is going to stop them. Lizzo is an easy target, and it sucks that she is being treated like that, but again, thats the internet. its the wild west out here. get some thick skin and keep it pushing. Jesus
Offset would probably smash Lizzo if he had the chance lol
‘Beautiful black women.’ How many times do they need to say that? Why do they always have to mention how they’re black? If a white woman was being fat-shamed and somebody defended her, they wouldn’t call her a ‘beautiful white woman.’
