Lizzo Hits Back at Criticism of New Music: ‘The Way This World Treats Black Women Is Sickening’

Lizzo compared herself to Whitney Houston and Tina Turner, writing: "The way this world treats black women is sickening"

“I think seeing and hearing a Black woman make real music with radical joy triggers miserable people… but I follow in the footsteps of Janet, of Funkadelic, of Earth Wind and Fire… nobody’s doing it like me for Us. Lizzo’s posts come several days after she released her comeback single “Still Bad,” the first off of her upcoming Love in Real Life, expected later this year. “Eventually, I got over that fear, I went to a concert, kind of like this … and as I was walking through the crowds and something miraculous happened: someone I didn’t know, looked at me and said, ‘Lizzo, I love you.’”
