Singer Lizzo talked about wide-ranging topics in her new intervi▨ew with Vanity Fair. She spoke about fatphobia as well as the backlash that she received over the spaz 🏅controversy.
"People have been calling me fat my entire life," the Grammy-winning singer shared. "But that was the first time seeing an insult of how I looked, who I am, and my music wrapped into one, and it really hurt me.&quo🌺t;
The "Truth Hurts" singer wen🙈t on to say, "And if one person says it, then another person says it, it multiplies like a f**king virus."
Ranting about the woes that come along with celebrity life, Lizzo shared, &🌊quot;If enough people on the internet start echoing sentiments about you, it becomes part of yo𒅌ur public persona, and it's out of your control," reports aceshowbiz.com.
The 34-year-old also noted, "I know I'm not the only person who experiences extreme negativity thrown at them from♔ the internet - there are people in high school right now who have a whole high school talking about them, and they don't know how they're going to get through it."
Lizzo, fortunately, found a way to make her fee🧸l better by allowing herself to 🐭connect with people in those situations and inspire them. "Hell yeah, it made me feel better. F**k them!" the singer said.
Also, in🔴 the interview, Lizzo addressed the controversy she faced over using the wor𝓡d "spaz" in her "GRRRLS" track.
The Detroit native revealed that she had "never heard it used as a slur against disabled people." She further detailed, "The music I make is in the business of feeling good and being ��authentic to me. Using a slur is ina🔜uthentic to me, but I did not know it was a slur."
"It's a word I've heard a lot, especially in rap songs and with my black friends and in my black cౠircles: It means to go off, turn up. I used [it as a] verb, not as a noun or adjective. I used it in the way that it's used in the black community," she added.
