Diddy responds to claims he body-shamed Lizzo

Though Diddy’s Instagram Live dance-a-thon generated an estimated $3.7 million to help communities affected by the global crisis, . the music mogul faced backlash after interrupting Lizzo’s performance. All sorts of stars appeared at Diddy’s nine-hour party on Sunday, from his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez to his former foe Drake. Among the stacked line-up of guests was Lizzo, a Grammy winner and body positivity icon, who twerked to Moneybagg Yo’s “1 2 3”. She hadn’t spent much time dancing when Diddy interrupted her. “It’s Easter Sunday — let’s play something a little bit family-friendly,” he said. Lizzo stopped dancing immediately. Twitter user AngelaIRL noted that Diddy did not stop “Basketball Wives LA” star Draya Michele . when she twerked to “Back that Azz Up,” though, calling out a double standard. Diddy responded to claims that he behaved in a fatphobic way toward Lizzo in his Instagram story on Monday. He explained why he stopped Lizzo’s performance, saying it was because of the cursing in the song, not her dancing. “She’s one of the best ‘twerkers’ in the world. You’re allowed to twerk on Easter …. everybody stop looking at the negative, let’s look at the positive”. Lizzo hasn’t responded to the incident, aside from apologizing profusely to Diddy when he stopped her performance
