Lizzo has made a name for herself when it comes to her fearless ability to speak her mind, and now she's shared her thoughts on how she feels about the body positivity movement becoming mainstream.
In a new interview with Vogue for her first-ever cover, the 'Truth Hurts' singer said that the term "body positivity" has been commercialized, and as a result, the people behind it are "no longer benefiting from it".
"Now, you look at the hashtag 'body-positive,' and you see smaller-framed girls, curvier girls," Lizzo told the magazine. "Lotta white girls."
"I feel no ways about that because inclusivity is what my message is always about," she went on. "I'm glad that this conversation is being included in the mainstream narrative."
Lizzo promoted body positivity during quarantine in this Instagram underwear video:She continued: "What I don't like is how the people that this term was created for are not benefiting from it. Girls with back fat, girls with bellies that hang, girls with thighs that aren’t separated, that overlap. Girls with stretch marks. You know, girls who are in the 18-plus club. They need to be benefiting from the mainstream effect of body positivity now."
"With everything that goes mainstream, it gets changed," Lizzo said. "It gets made acceptable."
It's for this reason that Lizzo has said that she thinks it would be lazy to label herself "body positive" and instead she wants to be seen as body-normative instead.
"I would like to be body-normative," she said. "I want to normalize my body."
"Not just be like, 'Ooh, look at this cool movement. Being fat is body positive,'" Lizzo continued. "No. Being fat is normal. I think now, I owe it to the people who started this to not just stop here."
This comes after Lizzo revealed that she's vegan and shared what she eats in a day on TikTok.
