Bebe Rexha's not shying away from her body.

The 33-year-old singer took to Twitter to slam trolls that have been body-shaming her throughout her career.

Alongside a mirror selfie showing off her stomach, the star also attached a screenshot of TikTok suggested searches that were all to do with her body. The search terms included "Bebe Rexha before and after", "Bebe Rexha Coachella fat" and "Bebe Rexha getting fat [shamed]."

"Yes I’m in my fat era and what?" Rexha wrote in the caption.

Fans took to the comments to praise the star for proudly embracing her body rather than giving into the hate.

"Bebe, your body positivity has helped me to become more secure in my body. Though we can keep saying we’re not fat, or this and that... it’s hard but you help me to see that it’s okay to not be societally 'perfect.' so thank you," wrote one user.

"Not fat at all!!! You look normal, healthy and beautiful. Screw the haters. They’ll always find something to hate on," commented another.

A third also insinuated that people need to really move on from this topic, writing: "The year is 2023 and people still haven't stopped talking about your body... likeee..."

And it's facts! How are we still body-shaming normal people in 2023?

And this isn't the first time Rexha has spoken out on this issue on TikTok.

The 'In The Name Of Love' singer has called out the social media platform's search bar earlier in the year after seeing that people were searching "Bebe Rexha weight" on a video of one of her performances.

"Seeing that search bar is so upsetting," she tweeted back in April. "I’m not mad cause it’s true. I did gain weight. But it just sucks. Thank you to all the people who love me no matter what."

Speaking to Jennifer Hudson during an interview on her talk show, the 33-year-old opened up about her health struggles and how they related to the ever-changing shape of her body.

"Listen, we're in the public eye, so that's bound to happen," she told Hudson. "But we gotta just be positive and just show people love."

"I was a lot thinner and I did gain some weight — that comes with the territory," Rexha continued, after talking about being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome [PCOS]. "I'm not mad about it because it is true, but when you see things like that, it does mess with you."

"[PCOS] is one of the leading causes of why women gain weight and are obese," she said. "I literally jumped, like, 30 pounds so quickly, maybe a little bit more."

"You don't know what somebody's going through, what they're going through in their life, so it kind of is tough," she added. "But I feel like we're in 2023 ... we should not be talking about people's weight."

Amen to that!

Despite the singer trying to remain positive about the situation, sometimes it can get a little overwhelming as fans discovered when she posted a TikTok video during the holidays in 2021.

Rexha was candid about how her weight gain affected her overall confidence while getting visibly emotional on camera.

"So it is the holidays and I know we're all supposed to be, like, merry and like, 'Yay, it's the holidays,' which I am... -ish," she began the video.

She then went on to say that she's the "heaviest" she's ever been, adding: "I weighed myself just now, and I don't feel comfortable sharing the weight 'cause I feel embarrassed."

She continued: "I just feel disgusting, you know, like in my own body."

Rexha went on to explain that her own feelings about the sudden gain made her want to stay off socials.

"I haven't been posting as much because I don't feel good in my skin and when I don't feel good, I don't want to post and that's really honestly the reason I haven't been posting in the last year or so as much as I used to. I think all the body positivity that stems from me is probably a place of hurt and confusion," she said, adding, "I don't know how to help myself anymore or how to love myself."

But thankfully, it seems as though the star has figured it out as she has gained more and more confidence in her own skin and for that, we're all inspired!
