Lizzo Tells Body‑Shamers to 'Mind Your Business' in Instagram Clapback

Her post centers on bodily autonomy after years of public scrutiny over her weight.

Overview

  • Lizzo responded on Dec. 4 to a viral fat joke with a poolside bikini photo and called the comment a dumb joke while urging followers to never let anyone shame them for their bodies.
  • She wrote that critics talk when someone is big or small and declared, "Your body will never be good enough for them because it’s not for them; it’s for you."
  • Her caption ended with a boundary-setting refrain — "If I get a BBL, mind your business; if I lose 100 lbs, mind your business; if I gain every pound back… mind your f***ing business."
  • Coverage ties the post to her recent Substack essay describing suicidal distress during fallout from a 2023 dancers’ lawsuit and a call to move body positivity beyond commercialized tropes.
  • Reports note she has documented training and dietary changes with an estimated 16% body‑fat reduction, as ongoing Ozempic speculation persists with her saying she tried it but denies long‑term use.
