Updated | By Poelano Malema
Lizzo continues to slam everyone who thinks he or she has a right to talk about her weight.
Kanye West has become the latest person to talk about Lizzo's weight.
In an interview with Fox New on Friday, 7 October, Kanye spoke about how social media attacks Lizzo for losing weight when being overweight is unhealthy.
"When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots… on Instagram, they attack her for losing weight, because the media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal when it's actually unhealthy," said Kanye.
Following the comments, Lizzo publicly addressed all those who think they have a right to talk about her weight.
Speaking during a concert in Toronto, Lizzo said: "I feel like everybody in America got my motherkf---ing name in their motherf---ing mouth for no motherf---ing reason."

She went on to explain: "I'm minding my fat, Black beautiful business."
This is not the first time Lizzo spoke publicly about her weight and the discrimination she has received.
In September, while accepting her Emmy Award, the 'About Damn Time' hitmaker said growing up she had a dream to see the media not discriminating against "fat" people.
"When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media. Someone fat like me, Black like me, beautiful like me".

Earlier this year, she celebrated gaining weight.
"I gained weight. I look TF GOOD," she wrote on Instagram.
Last year she spoke about how much she used to hate her body.
The singer and rapper posted a video of herself in the bathroom wearing her underwear.
"I started talking to my belly this year. Blowing her kisses and showering her with praises. I used to want to cut my stomach off I hated it so much. But it’s literally ME," wrote the star.
The 34-year-old says she has now learned to love herself.
"I am learning to radically love every part of myself. Even if it means talking to myself every morning. This is your sign to love on yourself today!," she wrote.
