Lizzo was under fire after Twitter (being Twitter) decided a word she used in her new “GRRRLS” single was offensive. Subsequently, the Grammy Award winner placated her critics and released a new version of the song, this time without the word “spaz.”
The internet was divided on Lizzo’s swift removal of the word and flooded The Shade Room’s comment section with their opinions. The Game was one of them. The Los Angeles-bred rapper, who’s always been supportive of Lizzo, was confused by the internet’s attempt to “cancel” the 34-year-old singer.
“Spaz is like wildin out,” he wrote. “I’m lost.” Gangsta Boo also spoke her peace, writing, “This is really aggravating! The internet gave WAY TOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY people voices to cry.”
Lizzo started to get inundated with tweets over the weekend regarding the Beastie Boys-sampling song. As one person wrote, “I’m disappointed @lizzo for using the word “sp@z” in her new song ‘Grrrls.’ There’s no excuse for using an ableist insult in a song in 2022. As someone who champions women, plus size people and others whom society treats poorly, Lizzo preaches inclusivity and should do better.”
Lizzo Changes Lyric In Beastie Boys-Sampling Single 'Grrrls' After Backlash Over The Word 'Spaz'
So on Monday (June 13), Lizzo addressed the backlash in a Twitter post that read, “It’s been brought to my attention that there is a harmful word in my new song ‘GRRRLS.’ Let me make one thing clear: I never want to promote derogatory language. As a fat Black woman in America, I’ve had many hurtful words used against me so I overstand the power words can have (whether intentionally or in my case unintentionally).
“I’m proud to say there’s a new version of ‘GRRRLS’ with a lyric change. This is the result of me listening and taking action. As an influential artist I’m dedicated to being a part of the change I’ve been waiting to see in the world. Xoxo, Lizzo.”

This country is being run by the inmates
The lunatics are officially running the asylum.
Like their opinions count. They’re washed up lol. Her Fatness just doesn’t deserve to be a celebrity in the first place with an attitude like hers and enough body mass to block out the sun.
This is how we have evolved as a people. When someone says or does something we don’t like then we go childish name calling and insults…usually based on race or appearance. The sad thing these are most likely adults leaving these comments.
Why don’t you evolve deeznutz in your mouth and STFU.
It’s pathetically funny that the main roaches in these comments talking about her weight probably sitting at their computers eating a sub right nah & couldn’t tell you the last time they didn’t have to lean over to see their feet! A Whole country full of bitch ass boys acting like “mean high school hoes”
Jizzo should stop spazzing on food though
That’s the gayest thing I’ve ever heard. Save that shit for Grindr or whatever site or app you guys use to pick up men. Stop doing it on a hip hop site, it’s sickening and inappropriate.
Struck a nerve, fatso?
cardi b came from a strip club as a stripper in new york city to a pop music sensation. lizzo is being body positive even though she is rather overweight but i bet she is inspiring millions of fat women to be happy through social media. now love lizzo or hate her she is making a difference for the better she is telling fat girls, fat women and even fat men to be happy how they are. i feel rather strongly about this she is a good role model despite what you usually read here about her.
I wonder how many people are not going to get the help they need and possibly die from staying obese because of her influence. There is nothing wrong with her making people feel better and trying to stop people from hurting eachother but she is doing more harm when she doesn’t address the fact that it is very unhealthy to be overweight, especially obese. She is rich now and has alot of resources her “followers” don’t. She should be trying to show people that you can lose weight and become healthy but that would mean she would lose her niche.
It’s good to be happy, but in all honesty, being obese should make you at least somewhat unhappy. It’s deadly. Very deadly. It’s gross, ugly, etc. It’s okay to be happy with who you are, but nobody should be encouraged to be cool with staying very overweight.
except fat people aint happy least most of em aint, eating is their drug n overdosing on food not healthy or what happy people do you know how many calories you gotta eat everyday to maintain that size? lmao they eatin double triple quadruple the amount normal folks eat periodt to each they own though everybody got a thing but dont act like its cool or acceptable
Doctors in 2022 “Ma’am, you are currently a plus size. Now, I think you are beautiful, and you do you, but there’s a tiny chance that being plus size could potentially lead to health issues. Nevermore, sorry I said that, I resign. I’m wrong. Stay plus sized” lmao. Obesity = plus size. Thick = fat. Old-school thick = newschool juicy.
Stfu! I’m not fat but I’m sick of you losers always speaking about someone else! When was the last time you saw a Dr? Not for sti check but a full physical… Anywho ask that rat Jillian who thought because she’s a personal trainer she could try to educate people until she had a stroke.. Point being being small or skinny doesn’t always equal healthy Plus Lizzo doesn’t have high cholesterol or bp which means she’s probably healthier than you byatches in this thread lmao when was the last time you seen your penis without needing a mirror?
Lizzo is so fat that her farts break the sound barrier.
