Lizzo just delivered a stellar performance on the last episode of Saturday Night Live for this year and has a ton to look forward to in the next — including the 2020 Grammy Awards, where she’s the most-nominated artist — so, no. She will not be tolerating input from any haters on social media at this time.
On Monday (Dec. 23), the “Good As Hell” artist responded to a tweet conflating her weight and her rising popularity, and makes the obtuse assertion that her success is somehow connected to “the obesity epidemic in America.”
Lizzo’s response was a swift, and accurate, 140-character lesson in self-defense: “I’m popular because I write good songs and I’m talented and perform high energy hour and a half shows filled with love. The only person who needs to do better is you.”

The only person who needs to do better is you.
Keep my name out ya mouth & look in the mirror before you come for me.
