'I am a Black woman, I am making music from my Black experience, for me to heal myself [from] the experience we call life.”
Lizzo spoke about her meteoric career ascendance as well as the notion of black singers appealing to white listeners.
She added: “This has happened to so many Black artists: Diana Ross, Whitney, Beyoncé.… Rap artists now, those audiences are overwhelmingly white. I am not making music for white people. I am a Black woman, I am making music from my Black experience, for me to heal myself [from] the experience we call life.”
“People have been calling me fat my entire life,” she told the magazine. “And if one person says it, then another person says it, it multiplies like a fucking virus. If enough people on the internet start echoing sentiments about you, it becomes part of your public persona and it’s out of your control.”
