\tLizzo took a moment on a Sunday morning to share her concerns about cancel culture.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cThis may be a random time to say this but it’s on my heart\u2026cancel culture is appropriation,\u201d Lizzo tweeted Sunday.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cThere was real outrage from truly marginalized people and now it’s become trendy, misused and misdirected,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

\n

\tLizzo continued: \u201cI hope we can phase out of this & focus our outrage on the real problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tJust days before, the \u201cAbout Damn Time\u201d singer had taken to social media to shut down the \u201ctired\u201d \u201cdiscourse around bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI’ve seen comments go from, ‘Oh my gosh, I liked you when you were thick. Why did you lose weight?’ ‘Oh my gosh, why did you get a BBL? I liked your body before.’ ‘Oh my gosh, you’re so big. You need to lose weight but for your health’ to ‘Oh my gosh, you’re so little. You need to get a\u2013 or titties or something.’ ‘Oh my gosh, why did she get all that work done? It’s too much work,’\u201d she said in a TikTok video on Friday.<\/p>\n

\n

\tShe continued, \u201cAre we OK? Do you see the delusion? Do you realize that artists are not here to fit into your beauty standards? Artists are here to make art. And this body is art. I’mma do whatever I want with this body. I wish that comments costed y’all money so we could see how much time we are f\u2014ing wasting on the wrong thing. Can we leave that s\u2014 back there please?\u201d<\/p>\n

There was real outrage from truly marginalized people and now it’s become trendy, misused and misdirected. <\/p>\n
