NEW YORK —
Lizzo is going to keep doing Lizzo after social media exploded with fat shaming over her exposed, thong-covered backside as she danced at a Los Angeles Lakers game while the team's cheerleaders performed to her hit “Juice.”
The singer-rapper got up and twerked, revealing a cut out at the back of her short black T-shirt dress, and was shown on the stadium's huge television screens during Sunday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Later, on Instagram, Lizzo addressed the controversy.
“Never ever let somebody stop you or shame you from being yourself,” she said in a livestream.
