Azealia Banks ripped Lizzo after the singer quit the music industry last week. In a since-deleted Instagram post, Azealia shaded Lizzo for playing victim.
Lizzo took to Instagram last week to say goodbye due to people mocking her appearance.
Lizzo used to be morbidly obese, but she has since dropped 60 pounds and she looks great!
Still, the “Juice” singer is tired of people constantly obsessing over her weight.
The “Truth Hurts” singer wrote:
“I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet. All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it. But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it. I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout & views… being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look… my character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name.
“I didn’t sign up for this sh*t.
I QUIT.”
Azealia, 32, lashed out at Lizzo, telling her she gave people permission to mock her weight.
In a follow-up post, Azealia apologized for going so hard on Lizzo.
“I took back my criticism of you because it definitely clicked in my mind that I definitely wasn’t getting my point about the ways in which insidious people in corporate culture [were] positioning you to push demeaning initiatives, but sis…. your handle is “lizzo be eating,” she wrote.
Azealia continued: “You’ve definitely given the public license to laugh at and with you by twerking at the Burger King counter and bathing in a tub of skittles… Self deprecation was certainly the aesthetic you chose to introduce yourself with.”
Lizzo, 35, was blacklisted last year after several background dancers sued her for abuse and wrongful termination.
