Rapper Lizzo appears to be taking issue with Cancel Culture.
On Sunday, Lizzo took to Twitter to express her frustration with the issue.
âThis may be a random time to say this but itâs on my heart ⊠Cancel Culture is appropriation. There was real outrage from truly marginalized people and now itâs become trendy, misused and misdirected,â Lizzo tweeted.
She added, âI hope we can phase out of this and focus our outrage on the real problems.â
Some Twitter users appeared to be surprised by Lizzoâs take on Cancel Culture.
One user wrote, âWell-said, Lizzo. Never thought Iâd use those words together. Perfect person to note that white wokelets violate the rules they heap on others.â
Journalist Eve Barlow tweeted, âI wasnât entirely sure what Lizzo meant by this at first, but after a deeper understanding I absolutely agree. Cancel Culture has been used to empower self-proclaimed social justice âwarriorsâ who think theyâre aiding a cause by ruining other peopleâs lives. Hate doesnât win.â
One user declared themself Lizzoâs âbiggest fan.â
The musician has not been afraid to address controversial issues in the past.
Last week, Lizzo addressed critics she felt were body shaming her.
âIf we had to pay money for every comment we post on social media maybe people would think before they type,â she wrote on Instagram.
Lizzo added, âThe discourse around bodies is officially tired.â
According to her post, she has seen âcomments go from: âOh my gosh, I liked you when you were thick. Why did you lose weight?â to âOh my gosh, why did you get a BBL ? I liked your body beforeâ to âOh my gosh, youâre so bigâ âŠâ
Lizzo asked her followers, âAre we okay? Do you see the delusion? Do we realize that artists are not here to fit into your beauty standards? Artists are here to make art, and this body is art.â
The singer then declared, âIâm going to do whatever I want with this body ⊠I wish comments costed yâall money so we could see how much f***ing time we are wasting on the wrong thing.â
