"Lizzo throws shade at Tucker Carlson after he calls obesity 'self-destructive

Lizzo, who is known for her body-positive message and unapologetic confidence, took a moment during her concert in Toronto last night to reference Tucker Carlson's recent interview with Ye (Kanye West).
During the interview, which aired on Fox News last week, West spoke out against the mainstream media's promotion of obesity, saying that it's "not cool" and that people should be "encouraged to be healthy."
Lizzo, who is plus-size herself, agreed with West's sentiment, telling the crowd last night that she is "tired of being told [she's] not beautiful" and that she's "tired of being told [she's] not good enough."
"I'm here to tell you that you are fucking beautiful," she said. "And you are fucking good enough."
The singer then led the crowd in a chant of "Fuck you, Tucker Carlson!" - a reference to the Fox News host's recent comments about white supremacy.
It's refreshing to see someone like Lizzo using her platform to spread body positivity and self-love - something that is so desperately needed in today's society. We need more people like her speaking out and sending this important message to those who need to hear it.
