What Did Candace Owens Say About Lizzo?

Commenting on Lizzo’s display of skin, Owens, on the Joe Budden podcast, shared that she thinks that the act of displaying too much skin is “disgusting” and “perverted.” In the episode, the author said, “I don’t like the game that people play where they do something that is so obviously outrageous. Like, you know, Lizzo in a thong shaking your a** cheeks. You know what that was.” Furthermore, she went on to ask, “Is there no space that’s safe?” 

Owens went on to say, “And then she’s like, ‘if you don’t like it, that’s your problem.’ Like no, you are being problematic. And now you’re playing the game where you do something outrageous, and then, when we outrage, you pretend that we’re the crazy ones. I’m not dealing with that. Stop gaslighting me, okay?”

On the music front, Lizzo hinted at releasing a new song soon, as she has been working on something exciting.
