Lizzo, in an interview with Vanity Fair, denied making music for a “white audience,” emphasizing her work reflects her Black experience. She noted the challenge Black artists face when gaining popularity, as their audiences often become predominantly white, but reaffirmed her mission to create self-love anthems for young Black individuals who resonate with her story.
Lizzo responded to criticism about her weight, including Kanye West’s comments on Fox News claiming media promotes being overweight as “unhealthy” and “demonic.” West controversially linked it to a “genocide of the Black race.” During a concert, Lizzo dismissed the claims, stating, “Everybody in America got my name in their mouth for no reason.” She remains focused on empowering her community.
