Lizzo Responds To Kanye West's Comments About Her Weight During A Concert In Toronto
Lizzo is a self-proclaimed body-positive activist who has been outspoken about the so-called beauty standards in our society. However, there have been a few other outspoken individuals like Kanye West who point out the fact that it's never good to promote obesity as if it's something virtuous.
During his viral interview with Tucker Carlson, rapper and entrepreneur Kanye West mentioned Lizzo, an obese public figure who often shows her half-naked body to the world in an act of body positivity. She has called herself a "body icon" who has a "really hot body," railing against anyone who points out the fact that obesity is the number one killer in the United States. When Kanye brought up the popularity of Lizzo, he was critical of how our culture has attempted to rebrand obesity as something virtuous, when in reality, it is deadly.
