Kanye West has been involved in a number of conflicts, and most recently, the musician spoke with Tucker Carlson about these issues. New bombshells were dropped by Kanye throughout the interview, and he also said some stunning things about the body positivity movement and the musician Lizzo while referring to her as his "close friend."
Lizzo appeared to address Kanye's remarks during a recent performance in Toronto. Although she avoided mentioning the rapper by name, her response appeared to be in response to his remarks about her. Lizzo reportedly said to the audience at her performance, "I feel like everybody in America got my m***********g name in their m***********g mouth for no m***********g reason. I’m minding my fat Black beautiful business." Later, she questioned the people who she could marry in order to obtain dual citizenship and made jokes about whether she could stay in Canada.

On the 'demonic' criticisms of Lizzo's weight loss, Kanye
In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Kanye West discussed his views on the "demonic" media's promotion of obesity, which he claimed was a part of a scheme to speed the "genocide of the Black race." He mentioned Lizzo and stated, "When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots … on Instagram, they attack her losing weight because the media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal when it’s actually unhealthy."

In his interview, Kanye West not only disparaged Lizzo but also touched on a number of other topics, such as how the fashion business treats his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. The rapper discussed Kim Kardashian's most recent magazine cover and asserted that, despite her Christian religion and strong family ties, the entertainment world doesn't respect her in the same way because they "want Kim Kardashian to 'put her a** out.'"
The rapper recently had his account blocked as a result of his inflammatory Instagram posts, in which he called out numerous people amid the White Lives Matter dispute, including Gigi Hadid and others. Later, after Instagram removed his posts for breaking their rules, the rapper returned to Twitter.
