Women standing together! Hours after Lizzo broke down in tears via an Instagram Live on Sunday, August 15, Cardi B came to her defense.
Following the release of the pair’s “Rumors” collaboration, Lizzo, 33, shared an emotional video taken from a bathroom, revealing the painful responses she’d received.
“On the days when I should feel the happiest, it just … I feel so down,” the “Juice” rapper said while tearing up. “Sometimes I feel like the world just don’t love me back. It’s like it doesn’t matter how much positive energy you put into the world, you’re still gonna have people who have something mean to say about you.”
She went on to explain that while she usually is able to ignore the hate, she has been putting in so much time at work that she doesn’t have enough time with family or friends and was feeling down.
“I just think when I’m working this hard, my tolerance gets lower, my patience gets lower, and I’m more sensitive,” the Michigan native added. “I just feel like I’m seeing negativity directed toward me in the most weirdest way. People are saying s–t about me that just doesn’t even make sense.”
Lizzo didn’t quote direct comments but noted she read “fat phobic,” “racist” and “hurtful” words.

“I make music that I like, that’s important to me. And I make music that I hope helps people, period. I’m not making music for white people, I’m not making music for anybody. I’m a Black woman making music. I make Black music, period. I’m not serving anyone but myself. Everyone is invited to a Lizzo show, to a Lizzo song, to this good energy.”‘
