Lizzo fires back after critic says her popularity

Lizzo is still riding high after her Saturday Night Live debut and she isn't going to let anyone bring her down. The "Good as Hell" singer clapped back at Dr. Boyce Watkins after his tweet about her popularity sparked an online debate. Watkins, an author, political analyst and social commentator, tweeted that the eight-time Grammy-nominated singer is only popular because of America's "obesity epidemic."

"Rather than encouraging people to do better, we are simply lying to them and telling them that they are just fine the way they are," he wrote Friday.

Watkins followed that up Sunday with a critique of her SNL performance. He wrote how watching Lizzo sing "about the joys of being fat and raunchy makes me think of slaves performing for massa and his friends on the plantation."

By Monday, the 31-year-old "Truth Hurts" singer had enough.

"I’m popular because I write good songs and I’m talented and perform high energy hour and a half shows filled with love," she replied, quipping, "Here’s the attention you ordered."

The only person who needs to do better is you.
