She has achieved international fame as a body positivity icon.
And Lizzo showed off her figure Tuesday in a new Instagram album that saw her striking pose after pose in skimpy lingerie.
The 34-year-old singer, whose Instagram handle is @lizzobeeating, declared in her caption: ‘*new background unlocked*.’
Sharpening her features with makeup, the Good As Hell and Truth Hurts hitmaker accessorized the look with a glinting bracelet.
‘Hold my bag, b****, hold my bag. Do you see this s***? I’m a sp*z,’ she sang in the original version of the number.
A social media outcry erupted over the use of the ‘ableist’ term, prompting Lizzo to release a new version of the song with a changed lyric.
The updated edition of GRRRLS has Lizzo singing: ‘Hold my bag, b****, hold my bag. Do you see this s***? Hold me back.’
‘This is the result of me listening and taking action,’ she wrote on Instagram of the alteration. ‘As an influential artist I’m dedicated to being part of the change I’ve been waiting to see in the world. Xoxo, Lizzo.’
Shortly thereafter, she unabashedly posted an Instagram video of herself dancing to the number and throwing up her middle fingers at the audience.
Her latest album comes the day after she marked Juneteenth with a video of herself singing Lift Every Voice And Sing, also known as the Black National Anthem.
Decked out in a pink mesh gown adorned with frills, she put her impressive vocal chops on display as she delivered an a cappella rendition of the number.
Juneteenth was declared a federal holiday for the first time last year after rising to increased national attention in 2020 amid the Black Lives Matter riots.
The holiday has been celebrated for over a century in honor of the freeing of American slaves after the Civil War.
On June 19, 1865, Texas became the last state in the defeated Confederacy where the Emancipation Proclamation was officially announced by the Union.
To mark Juneteenth 2020, Lizzo, who grew up partly in Texas, announced a charity sweepstakes where prizes included concert tickets and a video chat with her.
Earlier in June 2020 she had posted an Instagram video where she told her fans about Juneteenth and shared that it was ‘something that, you know, we celebrated down in Texas – as you know, I grew up in Houston – and it’s a black holiday.’
