Lizzo returned earlier this month with new single ‘Rumors’, featuring Cardi B. Following the release of the track, which arrived alongside an official video seemingly inspired by Disney’s animated movie Hercules, Lizzo has opened up about the abusive comments she’s received online following the release of her new single.






Since the track and its accompanying visuals landed, however, Lizzo has been targeted with fat-shaming and racist abuse on social media. She later broke down in tears on Instagram, telling viewers: “Sometimes I feel like the world just don’t love me back.”
