The immediate response to Lizzo's rearmost release," Grrls," was not as flashy as it was to the still ineluctable bop" About Demon Time." Critics incontinently noticed the artist's use of the legendary slur" Spaz" in the song and took to the Internet with their veritably applicable examens. Now, while a certain manly funnyman whose name rhymes with" Shumwe Lapel" might cry" cancel the culture," Lizzo is a grown- up who knows better.
rather of doubling down, Lizzo fleetly changed the lyrics to her song and posted a thoughtful statement on her social media about her mistake and posterior correction.
" It has been brought to my attention that my new song,' GRRRL' contains a dangerous word," her statement began. “ Let me make one thing clear I noway want to promote vituperative language. As a fat black woman in America, there have been numerous hurtful words used against me, so I( understand) power words can be( whether designedly or in my case, unintentional).
The streamlined track changes the line," Hold my bag, whine, hold my bag Do you see this shit? I am a spaz" to" Hold my bag, whine, hold my bag Do you see this shit? Back me snare it." A reasonable argument must also be made that the new song is better, indeed if the original line isn't obnoxious, but I hold back.
Lizzo's statement continued," As an influential artist, I'm devoted to being a part of the change I look forward to in the world." It's both true that Lizzo is a extensively popular and influential artist and that for her, a fat black woman in America, the microscope is harder and more focused on her than on a man or a white man. It's an oddity that Lizzo has to deal with further scrutiny than a lower marginalized cast, while leading the illustration with grace — but perhaps some of that quote- unquote" canceled" dude anyway. can learn from him.
