She (@YouFugazi) said, ‘Lizzo looking good asf,’ while another fan dubbed @kdotvici adding even more praise.

‘Lizzo was almost unidentifiable lol She was already gorgeous. Lizzo is FIERCE now!’ the X user said.#BETAwards.

Though many others were upset when the cameras cut to Lizzo immediately after host Kevin Hart, Druski and Kai Cenat made a joke about diabetes.

Danielle Chanté (@Dani_820) said, ‘Why would yall put the camera on Lizzo when Kevin mentioned Diabetes??’

Her appearance comes less than two weeks after Lizzo spoke about her dramatic slimdown while appearing on The Jason Lee Show.

While she didn’t reveal how many pounds she’s lost since embarking on her weight-loss journey in 2023, the star did speak about being bullied for her curves due to her confidence as a plus-sized woman.

‘I think it was crazy to people because I was fat,’ she stated. 

‘The shocking factor was that people couldn’t believe that someone that looked like me was confident,’ she said.

Host Jason Lee responded, ‘you were cute when you were bigger’, before Lizzo fired back, ‘I was fine as f**k!’

When pressed to reveal exactly how much weight loss she’s lost on her journey, the singer cagily responded, ‘If I say the number, I don’t think people could do the math.’

She continued, ‘I’ve just seen a lot of TikToks where it’s like, “Lizzo talks about her 500lbs weight loss!” Why are y’all putting numbers on me? It kind of annoys me.’

In January, the singer – who has denied using Ozempic – proudly announced that she had achieved her weight loss goal.

On Instagram at the time, she shared: ‘I did it. Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal.

‘I haven’t seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!’

And during an episode of the On Purpose With Jay Shetty podcast, Lizzo explained how she uses the term ‘weight release’ instead of weight loss.

She credited her boyfriend Myke Wright and explained, ‘My man, he’s so funny. He was the one that brought it to my attention at first. Because at first I was like, “Oh my gosh I lost five pounds” and he was like, “Where did it go?”

‘I was mad at him, I was like, “Why would he say that?” but he was like, “Where did it go?”‘ 

The Good As Hell hitmaker further explained that she did not want to ‘lose anything’ but instead wanted to ‘win.’

Lizzo expressed, ‘I want to be very intentional about the words that come out of my mouth because there’s young people who are watching me and they’re experiencing what I’m putting into the world.

‘They’re applying it to their own experience and their own life just like I did when I was a kid.’

The star then got candid about ‘how the media treated people who gained and lost weight’ had an effect on her ‘brain chemistry’.

‘Be careful with your words because it can affect somebody in ways you don’t even know,’ she warned. 

The performer added, ‘Even me releasing the weight has affected people and I take that seriously. I take that responsibility.

‘And because of that I want to transmute it into something that makes people feel comfortable and less afraid of it.’

During an interview with the New York Times last year in March, Lizzo told the outlet, ‘I’ve been methodical, losing weight very slowly.

In regards to shedding weight, Lizzo admitted, ‘I don’t really see it because if anyone who’s on a natural weight-loss journey knows, losing weight is actually the slowest thing in the world and you don’t really notice it until you notice it.’
