Lizzo isn’t about to let anyone dull her shine, especially not someone who criticizes her popularity because of her body type.
Dr. Boyce Watkins publicly went on twitter to claim that Lizzo’s popularity was only to to the “obesity epidemic” currently plaguing America.
#Lizzo popular is because there is an obesity epidemic in America. Rather than encouraging people to do better, we are simply lying to them and telling them that they are just fine the way they are.

Um, Okayyyyyyyyyyyy.
Thousands of fans came to her defense, but the only response we needed was from Queeny herself…
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.
Keep my name out ya mouth & look in the mirror before you come for me.
Here’s the attention you ordered 😏 https://t.co/zXnOv4f9Dr
