Lizzo claps back at Kanye West’s remarks about her body… after he said attacks on her weight loss are a ‘genocide of the Black race’
Lizzo had a lot to say during her performance in Toronto, Canada on Friday night.
The 34-year-old singer and flautist seemingly responded to comments Kanye West, 45, recently made about her body.
After the rapper called attacks on her weight loss a ‘genocide of the Black race’ the songstress said, ‘I feel like everybody in America got my mother******* name in [their] mother******* mouth for no mother****** reason.’

Lizzo continued during a pause in her set, ‘I’m minding my fat, black, beautiful business.’ The crowd clapped and cheered as she spoke up for herself without naming Kanye explicitly.
The music artist – full name Melissa Jefferson – then asked the crowd, ‘Can I stay here [in Canada?’ before joking, ‘Who can I marry for that dual citizenship?’
Kanye’s comments came during a sitdown with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, in which he claimed any time Lizzo posts about losing weight, ‘bots’ and ‘media’ attack her to promote the idea that being ‘overweight is the new goal.’
‘It’s a genocide of the Black race,’ he declared in a wide-ranging conversation with the host on Thursday.

Seemingly driving her point home, Lizzo appeared on Instagram over the weekend to post a reel from a recent show.
The clip showed the entertainer with a spotlight on her face as an illuminated message flashed across her torso.
‘My body, my choice’ was emblazoned over her and in the caption she added only a period.
Kelly Rowland later showed support for the musician as she reposted the clip in her Insta Story and wrote, ‘Tell ‘EM!!!! I fxckin’ love you.’

Ye has ruffled a lot of feathers since donning a t-shirt that said ‘White Lives Matter’ during his Paris Fashion Week show.
Standing beside controversial political pundit Candace Owens, the two wore inverse colors of the same shirt.
What followed was a snowball of backlash from fans and celebrities on social media, with some defending Kanye and others condemning him.
But Kanye has stood firm on his position, continuing to wear variations of the shirt, most recently alongside ex-wife Kim Kardashian at daughter North’s, nine, basketball game.
