Lizzo Responds to Negative Criticism: “If You Really Don’t Like My Ass, You Can Kiss It”

Lizzo does what she wants, when she wants, and this should come as no surprise. That was the case when she went to a Laker’s game, and wore a dress that showed off her whole ass ( and gave people a twerk). now, she’s responded to the backlash in the most Lizzo way ever.

After dancing in the ass out dress on television, people have their own opinions on Lizzo and her actions. Some negative, some positive, but opinions are opinions. Lizzo took to Instagram live to address a few things, speak on her life, and talk to the negative criticism.

“Your criticism has no effect on me. Negative criticism has no steak in my life, no control over my life, over my emotions. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I’m surrounded by love, and I just want to spread that love, and also spread these cheeks. And you know what, if you really really don’t like my ass, you can kiss it. Cause kissing it makes it go away, I promise.”
