SZA has had enough of the slander her friend Lizzo gets daily on the internet, and she’s spoken out about the hate and how more people need to come to the “Juice” singer’s aid.
In a series of tweets on Tuesday (June 13), the “Kill Bill” singer spoke out against social media trolls in defense of her friend – and even doubled down when a fan questioned her.

“I be wondering where all the virtue signaling ,well spoken shit talking ,internet warriors are when someone genuine needs defending,” SZA began. “Where the fuck do y’all be at for lizzo? Do y’all actually know how to support others or only tear them down.”
When someone responded to disagree and say that Lizzo does get support, SZA said: “NOT EFUCKINGNUFF. For as much free love, encouragement and positivity she embodies n shares on every app daily ? The ratios’s don’t add up.”

The posts follow a recent update from Lizzo, who said the constant barrage of negative comments has her questioning if it’s time to step away from music.
After Candace Owens — a right-wing commentator who’s critiqued her weight in the past — blasted Lizzo for blocking her on Twitter, the “Special” singer caught wind of her comments and decided to address them head-on.

In a series of tweets at the end of last month, Lizzo spoke out against some of the harsh critiques she’s received regarding her weight. Notably, she admitted that negative comments online were starting to get to her and were causing her to “hate the world.”
While many folks have accused her of being “unhealthy,” the singer said she is quite health-conscious and is focused on simply trying to live her best life, no matter her size.
At one point, Lizzo even claimed that she has considered “giving up on everyone” and quitting the music business to “enjoy my money, and my man, on a fucking farm.” The singer also took a moment to note that “being fat is not her brand” and that it just happens to be how her body looks.
As of now, the singer has locked her Twitter and put it on private mode.

Lizzo took it a step further with a post she made via Instagram, where she said that online trolls “make it hard for fat people to exist.”
The singer has been a big proponent of self-love and acceptance, often speaking out about fat-shaming, racism and more.
