Singers with a Positive Side“I want to roll back my previous state. I am very proud of myself. I am proud of the result. My sleep is getting better, my hydration, my inner security, my mental stability, my body, my skin, the whites of my eyes, I feel and look like a b ** b ****. ”
Lizzo, a singer from Detroit, United States, has never confirmed himself with the issue of a positive body (body positivity). Even though he started his career in 2010, in fact, new mainstream success was achieved in 2019.
The song Good As Hell, which was included in the Coconut Oil album, received positive comments from listeners. Despite releasing a song with a beautiful meaning, Lizzo did not receive the same treatment as his appearance.
After experiencing physical problems, Lizzo began to speak out about body positivity and self-love. Lizzo hopes that people can focus on their music rather than seeing it based on race, religion and other things.
The song Juice from the album Cuz I Love You also received similar appreciation. The music video is quirky and Lizzo returns to voicing body positivity with his friends.
Tired of being called an activistLizzo uses a dancer who has the same body size as him in every stage performance. He hopes that society can accept anyone based on sexuality, body, race, and many others.
Lizzo is also very confident in wearing revealing clothes. Because of this, she was chosen to walk the FIT'S Future of Fashion Way wearing a special plus size outfit on the catwalk. As a big woman or fat and black, Lizzo became an idol of his fans.
However, through talking to David Letterman on Netflix's My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, Lizzo said he didn't want to be called an activist just because he was black. "I'm tired of being an activist just because I'm fat and black. I want to be an activist because I'm smart, I care about this issue, because my music is good, because I want to help the world."
Target FansOn January 5, Lizzo chose to stop using Twitter. According to him, he cannot continue to be the target of the internet. He admitted that he received a lot of bad comments every time he appeared in public.
This time, fans were annoyed when they saw Lizzo promoting a detox juice designed by trainer JJ Smith. Moreover, Smith claims to be a weight loss expert on his Instagram. According to some fans, detox is not a diet for skinny but choosing alternative foods. In general, people must be good at regulating food intake and not depend on juices.
But this warning was ignored by Lizzo. He said he had received a lot of criticism regarding his physical appearance throughout his career.
“I am a big woman doing detox and I want to share with you. Every woman must do what they want to their body, "wrote Lizzo in the upload caption.
