Lizzo: “Cancel Culture Is Appropriation”
Written by Site Hub on January 9, 2023
Lizzo is not shy to ever share her thoughts, and yesterday, she took to Twitter to share her thoughts and concerns about cancel culture. Check it out below:
This may be a random time to say this but it’s on my heart.. cancel culture is appropriation.
There was real outrage from truly marginalized people and now it’s become trendy, misused and misdirected.
I hope we can phase out of this & focus our outrage on the real problems.

Just days before, Lizzo also had taken to social media to shut down the “tired” “discourse around bodies.” Lizzo stated on Tiktok: “I’ve seen comments go from, ‘Oh my gosh, I liked you when you were thick. Why did you lose weight?’ ‘Oh my gosh, why did you get a BBL? I liked your body before.’ ‘Oh my gosh, you’re so big. You need to lose weight but for your health’ to ‘Oh my gosh, you’re so little. You need to get a– or – or something.’ ‘Oh my gosh, why did she get all that work done? It’s too much work…Are we OK? Do you see the delusion? Do you realize that artists are not here to fit into your beauty standards? Artists are here to make art. And this body is art. I’mma do whatever I want with this body. I wish that comments costed y’all money so we could see how much time we are – wasting on the wrong thing. Can we leave that — back there please?”
