The 'About Damn Time' singer reflected on the criticism she's received over her music on 'The Howard Stern Show.'

Lizzo is speaking out against the online criticism she's received about her music.

In her documentary Love, Lizzo, the Grammy award-winning singer revealed people on social media have remarked she makes music for White people.


On his show, Howard Stern asked Lizzo about how it made her feel.

Lizzo replied:

"[It's] very hurtful only because I am a Black woman."
"I feel like it challenges my identity and who I am."
"It diminishes that, which I think is really hurtful."
"And on the other end, I'm making funky, soulful, feel-good music that is so similar to a lot of Black music that was made for Black people in the '70s and '80s."

She continued:

"Then, on top of that, my message is literally for everybody and anybody."
"And I don't try to gatekeep my message from people."

Lizzo finished:

"So, all three of those things from me, and I'm like, you don't even get me at all."
"I feel like a lot of people truthfully don't get me, which is why I wanted to do the documentary."
"I feel like y'all don't get me. Y'all don't know where I came from."
"And now, I don't want to answer no more questions about this sh*t."
"I just want to show the world who I am."
