Lizzo posted an inspiring message to her followers after her outfit sparked a body-image debate
Lizzo has something to say to the naysayers who criticized the outfit she wore to the Lakers game. ICYMI, the singer sparked a heated Twitter debate after the footage of her twerking in a thong-revealing shirt dress on the Jumbotron went viral. Twitter divided into two camps: some thought her wardrobe choice was wildly inappropriate, while others pointed out that there probably wouldn’t be an issue with her getup if she was thin. And Lizzo wants to put an end to the debate, herself: “I’m not going to shrink myself because somebody thinks that I’m not sexy to them.”
On Monday, December 10th, the singer took to Instagram Live to respond to the backlash and deliver some good ‘ol Lizzo wisdom.

We’re giving Lizzo a slow clap and a standing ovation. Tell ’em!
Later that day, she posted a funny yet poignant tweet of Rihanna twerking in her iconic see-through Swarovski crystal dress. “MY INSPIRATION,” Lizzo tweeted with the video.
Huh. Funny how Rihanna didn’t get called out for shaking her almost-bare bum like Lizzo did…huh!

The “Truth Hurts” singer later uploaded her Live video to her Instagram feed, captioning it “YOU ARE BLESSED🥰 YOU DESERVE TO FEEL GOOD AS HELL❤️ HAVE A GREAT DAY.” And after being reminded by Lizzo just how blessed we all are, we feel like we can take on the freaking world.
