Azealia Banks isn't happy about the breakout success of Lizzo.
After news came out that Lizzo's single 'Truth Hurts' had gone #1 on Billboard, Banks took to Instagram to unload on the star, "The song is not good, nor is the dumpy fat girl spectacle live set she does. Saddest bit is that the girl is legit talented and truly only being allowed to shine so long as she allows herself to be this millennial mammy of sorts."
She continued, "Queen Latifah was able to represent for larger women without being a disgusting or being a minstrel. She looks like she is making a fool of her black self for a white American public. Lizzo is really millennial mammy I'm ready this joke to be over."
