It’s gotta be Lizzo’s incredible message. Her lyrics are all designed to inspire self-love and confidence — particularly in young women. In a world of problematic messages, she’s a real force for good.

It’s a truly impressive achievement.

“Attending a Lizzo concert feels like worshipping at the church of self-love, if your preacher was a pop star living joyfully in a big black body, delivering a sermon of self-acceptance that’s as frank as it is accessible,” author, Samantha Irby, wrote for TIME magazine.

Lizzo opened up to the magazine about being an advocate for body positivity:

She wore a rather revealing dress to Cardi B’s birthday party which had many questioning her taste levels…

“She needs to respect herself! That’s the main problem for me. Big little or tiny anything in between. The woman should respect themselves to not show their entire bodies to everyone,” one person wrote.

But Lizzo has hit back at the trolls in an Instagram video…

“It’s very funny to me that people are upset that I’m wearing a see-through outfit or that I’m twerking in a see-through outfit,” she said, as per Entertainment Tonight.

“Let people live, bro. Let people wear whatever the f*** they wanna wear!” she finished.

And now, Lizzo has taken on the trolls once more!

 “You can dress up as someone w/out being offensive — rock lit I’m lit it’s all love. Don’t make it weird.” she wrote.

The reason for all the drama? A Halloween costume!

Lizzo dressed as Blueface’s girlfriend Chisean Rock for Halloween…

But many thought the costume was in bad taste.

“This ain’t it, that woman is in an abusive relationship, of all of the things she could dress up as she chose this?” one person wrote.

  via Getty Images  

“There is nothing funny about this Lizzo has to take her L with this one.”

Another said: “I rarely side-eye Lizzo for anything, but this Halloween costume is trash, down to the blacked-out tooth.”

“That little girl is an abuser who’s in an abusive relationship for the whole world to see, and we’re poking fun for Halloween?? Do better!” added a third.

“I love Lizzo down but them two are clearly in an abusive relationship, idk if it’s a good look to dress up as Chrisean,” said another.
