Lizzo Has The Perfect Solution For People Who Can’t Stop Commenting On Artists’ Bodies
While Lizzo had one of the best-selling albums and singles last year, and continues to make strides as a pop and R&B icon, she still receives online vitriol. She is one of many artists who receive comments on her body, and she has seen it pan out in real time for other artists.
Today (January 6) the “About Damn Time” singer took to TikTok to offer some words for those who can’t seem to keep their comments to themselves.
“The discourse around bodies is officially tired,” she said. “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.’”
Later in the clip, she shared an idea that could possibly convince people to withhold their sh*tty comments.
“I wish that comments costed y’all money,” she said, “so we could see how much time we are f*cking wasting on the wrong thing.”
Granted, this would be ideal, however, certain stan groups would probably end up bankrupting themselves sending hate comments to their idols’ rivals.

Lizzo is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

“I took off running, and I was looking back, but I was like, ‘You know what? Let me just duck first, and then people started asking me, you know, ‘Can you help me?’” a witness, Ced Mogul told Miami 7 yesterday evening. “When I realized people were asking for help, there was nothing you could do about it when you got shot.”
The outlet also alleged that four victims were airlifted to Ryder Trauma Center.
“We’re still working [the scene]. Yeah, there’s multiple shots, there’s multiple cases,” MGPD detective Diana Gorgue reportedly said. “We’re still working. We can’t confirm any numbers at this moment, because everything is still fresh, and they’re still investigating.”

In an interview with Paste Magazine in August 2022, Gibbs said he identified with his character’s plight.
“I can relate to Mercury’s pain and the things that he was feeling coming from the rap game, because I can share some of those same sentiments,” he said. “
“I’m not gonna say it was easy to be Mercury because I don’t agree with his feelings all the time, but it was certain things—like the tension with other rappers, being distant from your children, things of that nature—I could add into the character because I’ve been through those things in my personal life for real.

Zaytoven Drops Off “Only One”
The architect of trap music is back with new heat. Zaytoven slid through with his new project, Only One this morning.
Zaytoven is clearly kicking off the year on the right note. And, it could be an indication of what else he has up his sleeve in 2023. The legendary producer, who played a pivotal role in Gucci Mane’s career, unveiled his new project Only One on Friday. Though it isn’t a full-length body of work, it’s a short effort that highlights Zay’s overall artistry. His production is still top-tier. But, fans who know him for making beats will have a better understanding of his overall skillset.
The rapper’s new project also showcases his kids’ talents as well. The project includes features from Kamari-Carter and Xhulooo.
Years after cementing his name in Atlanta’s scene, Zaytoven is undoubtedly keeping the momentum high. 2022 was another prolific year for the legendary producer that saw the release of Streetz Got No Heart. The project boasts 10 songs in total with appearances from Bun B, Trouble, Foolio, PeeWee Longway and more.
On top of that, the producer continued to produce for high-profile artists, such as long-time collaborator, Gucci Mane. Zay produced a large chunk of So Icy Boyz: The Finale, including GuWop’s “Letter To Takeoff.” He also had two production credits on Quavo and Takeoff’s Only Built For Infinity Links on the songs, “Look @ This” and “2.30.”
