Lizzo seemingly hit back at Kanye West on stage after the rapper took aim at her weight in a controversial interview with \u201cFox News\u201d host Tucker Carlson.<\/p>\n

The pop star appeared to refer to \u201cStronger\u201d hitmaker\u2019s comments without mentioning him by name during her concert at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada on Friday after West suggested her size is \u201cunhealthy\u201d during an appearance on \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight\u201d.<\/p>\n

During her show, Lizzo told the audience: \u201cI feel like everybody in America got my motherf****** name in their motherf****** mouth for no motherf****** reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

The singer said: \u201cI\u2019m minding my fat black beautiful business,\u201d before going on to joke about moving to Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan I stay here (in Canada)? Who can I marry for that dual citizenship?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lizzo seemed to hammer home her point by sharing a clip from her stage show on her Instagram page which showed her with a spotlight on her face as the message \u201cMy body, my choice\u201d was illuminated across her torso.<\/p>\n

It comes after West discussed Lizzo\u2019s weight with Tucker Carlson and appeared to suggest she is setting a bad example, telling the Fox News presenter: \u201cLizzo works with my trainer, a friend of mine, Harley Pasternak. <\/p>\n

!function(e,t,r){let n;if(e.getElementById(r))return;const a=e.getElementsByTagName(\u201cscript\u201d)[0];n=e.createElement(\u201cscript\u201d),n.id=r,n.defer=!0,n.src=\u201dhttps:\/\/playback.oovvuu.media\/player\/v1.js\u201d,a.parentNode.insertBefore(n,a)}(document,0,\u201doovvuu-player-sdk\u201d);<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhen Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots \u2013 that\u2019s a term, it\u2019s like telemarketer callers \u2013 on Instagram, they attack her for losing weight because the media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal when it\u2019s actually unhealthy.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cLet\u2019s get aside from the fact whether it\u2019s fashion and Vogue \u2013 which it\u2019s not \u2013 or if someone thinks it\u2019s attractive, to each his own. It\u2019s actually clinically unhealthy. And for people to promote that, it\u2019s demonic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Host Carlson then asked West why the media would want to promote \u201cunhealthiness among the population\u201d and he replied: \u201cIt\u2019s a genocide of the black race. They want to kill us in any way they can.\u201d<\/p>\n
