<p>Now she&#8217;s speaking with <em><a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/lizzo-opens-recent-bullying-release-single-rumors-79510921">Good Morning America</a></em> about the critics, and the message she hopes her music can help deliver to her audience.</p>
<p>During her interview, Lizzo said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t mind critiques about me about my music, I don&#8217;t even mind the fat comments. I just feel like it&#8217;s unfair sometimes, the treatment that people like me receive.&#8221;</p>
<p>She continued, &#8220;People are like, &#8216;don’t let ‘em see you with your head down.&#8217; My head is always up. Even when I’m upset and even when I’m crying, my head is up. But I know it’s my job as an artist to reflect at times, and this should not fly. This shouldn’t be okay.”</p>
<p>Lizzo shared that over the years, black women have suffered from marginalization, and without the presence of social media, she feels like she could have been erased, and added, &#8220;But I chose to be undeniable, and I chose to be loud, and I chose to be great.&#8221;</p>
