Lizzo claps back against body shamers in self-love message: ‘I’m an icon’

Award-winning songwriter Lizzo recently wore her heart on her sleeve and called out all the body shamers that ever made her feel bad about the space she occupies within the world.

The singer issued her clap back in a candid interview with People magazine.

The interview has been set up to celebrate the international Women Changing the World issue.

While starting off Lizzo began by saying, "I think I have a really hot body! I'm a body icon, and I'm embracing that more and more every day."

It may not be one person's ideal body type just like, say, Kim Kardashian might not be someone's ideal, but she's a body icon and has created a modern-day beauty standard."

Before concluding she also left fans with a golden nugget and explained, "What I'm doing is stepping into my confidence and my power to create my own beauty standard.”

And with a little luck and a lot of hard work, Lizzo believes “one day that will just be the standard."
