Yung Miami quickly denied any ill intent, explaining that her comment wasn’t meant as an insult but to highlight the constant scrutiny women face over their bodies. She clarified that her “ew” comment was about how online critics previously shamed Lizzo for her weight. However, after her transformation, some still find reasons to be negative.
Miami said, “Before you lost the weight, people would be like she should lose weight, she too fat, that shit not cute, that’s what I was pertaining to.” She added, “Everybody says you look good, but then you have the five percent that say she looks better fat.”
