Lizzo is “100% that bitch,” and she knows it.
The singer, who rose to fame in 2019 after the release of her Grammy-winning hit “Truth Hurts,” doesn’t let comments about her appearance or her career bother her—and she never has.
“I deserve the spotlight,” she told People. “I deserve the attention. I’m talented, I’m young, I’m hot. You know? And I’ve worked hard.”
The star has made it part of her identity as an artist to sing about body positivity, female empowerment, and Black woman magic.
The Houston native told the outlet she got much of her confidence from her parents, as she grew up in a family that was “very proud of our Blackness.”
Though her dad was hesitant, she said that she learned early on from her parents about “how America treats Black people. How it treats Black women.” And, she said, “I saw very quickly how we treat fat people.”
Lizzo referred to herself as “fat,” but said she doesn’t understand why that has to be such a negative term. “Okay, we all know I’m fat,” she said. “I know I’m fat. It doesn’t bother me. I like being fat, and I’m beautiful and I’m healthy. So can we move on?”
She said it’s typical for curvier women to be seen as “the funny friend,” or “the friend who is gonna beat your ass ’cause she’s big. Or it’s the big girl who’s insecure ’cause she’s big,” but she’s none of those things. “I don’t think I’m the only kind of fat girl there is. I want us to be freed from that box we’ve been put in,” she said.
The three-time Grammy winner doesn’t agree with the way “beauty” is seen in our society, or why her weight is constantly a topic of conversation. “I think I have a really hot body! I’m a body icon, and I’m embracing that more and more every day,” she said.
Lizzo added, “It may not be one person’s ideal body type just like, say, Kim Kardashian might not be someone’s ideal, but she’s a body icon and has created a modern-day beauty standard. And what I’m doing is stepping into my confidence and my power to create my own beauty standard. And one day that will just be the standard.”
The singer, who also previously opened up about her struggles with mental health and dealing with fame, said she wasn’t “supposed” to thrive in her life, “make it this far,” “be a millionaire,” and become “a sex symbol,” but she has, so now, she’s doing everything she can to believe in herself and make it last.
“So how can I make this worthwhile? How can I make this not just a flash in the pan?” she told People.
