According to Kanye West, the attacks on Lizzo’s weight are part of a sinister scheme to kill Black people.
He claims that social media bot accounts always attack Lizzo immediately after she shares that she plans to lose weight.
During an interview with Tucker Carlson of FNC, Kanye explained the issues surrounding the perception of being overweight in America.
He claims that the media wants us to believe that being overweight is the new ideal for Black people, even though it’s detrimental to our health.
“When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots … they attack her for losing weight,” Kanye told Carlson.”Because the media wants to put a perception that being overweight is the new goal when it’s actually unhealthy, let’s get aside the fact whether it’s fashion or vogue, which it’s not, or if someone thinks it’s attractive, to each his own. It’s actually clinically unhealthy. And for people to promote that, it’s demonic.”
When Tucker questioned Kanye about why he believed the media wanted to encourage unhealthy lifestyles among Black people, he said, “It’s a genocide of the Black race.”
West continued, “They want to kill us in any way they can … If we saw ourselves as a people and not a race, then we would treat our people better.”
