Lizzo Defends Her Booty-Baring Look

Lizzo was feeling good as hell this weekend during the Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Los Angeles Lakers game. The singer rocked a loose midi-length dress with the backside cut out, revealing her thong to all while dancing to her hit “Juice” during the game.

While plenty of Lizzbians — what she calls her fans — showed love to the high-energy diva for the fearless fit, others questioned whether she should’ve rocked such a provocative look courtside, or at all.

Lizzo, 31, took to her Instagram Monday night to address her naysayers, explaining the negative reactions of haters will have no bearing on her decisions.

“Who I am, and the essence of me and the things I choose to do as a grown ass woman, can inspire you to do the same,” the “Truth Hurts” singer stated. “You don’t have to be like me. You need to be like you. And never ever let somebody stop you or shame you from being yourself. This is who I’ve always been. Now everyone’s lookin’ at it, and your criticism can just remain your criticism. Your criticism has no effect on me. Negative criticism has no stake in my life.”

She continued, “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been … I’m surrounded by love, and I just wanna spread that love — and also spread these cheeks. And if you really, really don’t like my ass, you can kiss it.”

The body positivity advocate also took to Twitter to subtly respond to feedback, posting a video of Rihanna twerking in a see-through gown and calling it her “inspiration.” Many believe this is her way of addressing the double standard she’s held to as someone society has not deemed “sexy enough” to show off her body.
