Lizzo hits back at 'deluded' body shamers by branding herself a 'work of art' in bikini

Lizzo has hit back at body shamers by calling herself a "work of art" and cricitised the "delusion" of those making comments on her body.

The singer, 34, reveals all she wants to do is exist without comments on what she looks like.

The hitmaker, known for songs like Juice and About Damn Time, has shared her body positivity with fans and even recently announced her new underwear brand Yitty will include gender-affirming shapewear.

Yet, Lizzo has now called out people for not being supportive of other body shapes by stating how no matter what she looks like, people think she's too big, not big enough, or everything between.

The singer didn't hit out at anyone specifically, but took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the topic whilst donning a marble-print bikini on the beach.

"The discourse around bodies is officially tired," she started her video.

"I have seen comments go from 'oh my gosh I liked you when you were thick, why did you lose weight?' to 'oh my gosh why did you get a BBL? I liked your body before'.

"To 'oh my gosh you're so big, you need to lose weight for your health' to 'oh my gosh you are so little, you need to get ass or titties' to 'oh my gosh, why did you get all that work done? It's just too much work'."

She added: "Are we okay? Do you see the delusion? Do we realise that artists are not here to fit into your beauty standards? Artists are here to make art, and this body is art.

"I'm gonna do whatever I want, with this body."

The singer was flooded with support from fans in her comments who praised her for speaking out.

"Hallelujah sis," wrote one fan. Another added: "This why I love you."

"U right, all this obsession over wrapping paper is silly. What we all need to work on is our inner selves, that's our gift, its not the packaging," commented a third.

"I love you so much," wrote someone else.

Lizzo has been soaking up the sun whilst on holiday in the Bahamas, where she looked incredible in a hot pink bikini as she took a boat trip.

Her sunny getaway comes after she announced that the next launch of her underwear brand Yitty will include gender-affirming shapewear.

She announced the new launch just before Trans Visibility Day and fans have been praising the singer for her inclusivity.

The Your Skin collection, which will hit shelves later this year, includes binders and tucking thongs for non-binary and trans customers to feel confident and comfortable in their bodies.
