I kind of feel bad for Lizzo, shes getting so much shit for these noms and Soultrain awards. DaBaby and Meg shouldve gotten best new artist noms, but i bet they wont nominate them until next year.

Even as someone who is Lizzo burned out, the shit she’s getting is pissing me off

I understood the source of Ari Lennox’s frustration, but far too many men - straight and gay - latched on and blew it up into open season Lizzo just because they hate her. If Chris Brown had won that ST award, it’d have been crickets.

Yeah I read on twitter some of takes mostly from Ari Lennox and I felt bad for Lizzo because it seems like a lot of people are jumping the hate train with her.

omg i know. she's getting it from black twitter bc she doesn't register as black enough plus the soul train awards fiasco and white taylor/ariana/lana/kpop stans are also attacking her bc she got more grammy nominations.

instead of attacking the institutions that are doing this, they rather just attack the artist

tbh ari was being annoying as hell on twitter about it. i understand why she was upset and wanting to vent, but it came off as really childish and dismissive as lizzo's own artistry and struggle imo. i also feel like it's really easy for ppl to dog-pile on lizzo rn bc she's a confident fat black woman who is darker than a paperbag and is somewhat overexposed.

I would be shocked by how quickly and viciously people are willing to turn on Lizzo but like you said, she’s a confident fat black woman. People were just waiting for any excuse to tear her down

[birkenstoxxx]

this is absolutely it

[avantgaurdian1]

all of this. i adore ari but what she did (and her lack of clarification) is gross.

[ladyserenity84]

This. Ugh. :(

[birkenstoxxx]

yeah why the fuck is it her problem...there have been so many artists with this same situation happening in the past but for some reason it's such a problem with lizzo
