Lizzo has hit back at her critics, telling them the public discourse around bodies is getting old.

The ‘Truth Hurts’ singer took to TikTok to hit back at the people who keep making comments about her figure.

In the video, the 34-year-old reveals how she faces conflicting criticism from ‘you’re so big’ to ‘you’re so little’.

She says: “The discourse around bodies is officially tired.”

She continues: “I have seen comments go from, ‘Oh my gosh, I liked you when you were thick. Why’d you lose weight?’ to ‘Oh my gosh, why’d you get a BBL? I liked your body before.’ to ‘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** or t**ties or something,’ to ‘Oh my gosh, why did she get all that work done? It’s just too much work'.

“Are we okay? Do you see the delusion?”

She adds that artists are not here to conform to conventional beauty standards but rather make ‘art’.

Lizzo adds: “This body? Is art. And I'm going to do whatever I want with this body."

The singer says people wouldn't be making these types of comments if they had to pay to write a message.

She says: "I wish that comments costed y'all money. So we could see how much time we're f**king wasting on the wrong thing."

The singer, who has cemented herself as a body icon, previously said that she believes the body positivity movement needs to be redefined.

In 2020, Lizzo shared that despite being grateful that body positivity has become a mainstream topic, she feels the movement no longer benefits those it was originally created for.

She told Vogue: “It’s commercialized. Now, you look at the hashtag ‘body positive,’ and you see smaller-framed girls, curvier girls.

“Lotta white girls. And I feel no ways about that, because inclusivity is what my message is always about.

"I’m glad that this conversation is being included in the mainstream narrative.

"What I don’t like is how the people that this term was created for are not benefiting from it.”

Instead, the Grammy-Award-winning singer wants to be ‘body-normative’.

She said: “I want to normalize my body. And not just be like, ‘Ooh, look at this cool movement. Being fat is body positive'.

"No, being fat is normal.”
