Kanye West’s recent remarks regarding Lizzo’s weight loss and the media’s promotion of an “unhealthy” lifestyle have garnered a mixed reaction from the public on both sides of the debate.

Apparently, Lizzo didn’t appreciate Yeezy’s mention of her in an attempt to lend credence to his argument and expressed her thoughts after the rapper’s remarks were brought to her attention.
