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."

Justin Trudeau Shares How He Got Trump To Pivot Away From '51st State' Threat

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had social media users cackling with his latest public statements since President-elect Donald Trump made headlines for jabbing him with remarks about Canadian statehood, noting how he'd gotten Trump to drop the empty threat during a recent conversation.

Trump, who first brought up the idea during a November meeting with Trudeau at Mar-a-Lago over Trump's threat to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, has since inflamed tensions by referring to Trudeau as the governor of the “great state of Canada." He has also discussed the possibility of using "economic force" instead of "military force" to annex the country.
