Singer and rapper Lizzo is now added to the long list of people fellow artist Azealia Banks has criticized in the industry and she’s doing in all in the midst of the artist’s many successes including reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

“Lmao the fact that the public and the media has been keeping this fat girl joke going for so long is honestly peak boredom,” Banks said on the social media outlet. “The song is not good, nor is the dumpy fat girl spectacle live set she does. Saddest bit is that the girl is legit talented and truly only being allowed to shine so long as she allows herself to be this millennial mammy of sorts.”
Banks also name drops other celebrity names in the mix of her comments including Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott and Cardi B. Although she praised Queen Latifah and Elliott for being a good representation for larger women by not being “disgusting or minstrel,’ but she criticized Cardi B calling her “illiterate” and not being a good representation for Black women.
