Lizzo recently sat down with Angie Martinez, who asked the "Truth Hurts" artist, "So, is Lizzo a rapper?" This led to Lizzo addressing past controversial tweets she made about Future and Swae Lee being considered rappers because of their aesthetic, as she believed they are more singers. 

Lizzo told Angie, "Yo, that question is crazy 'cause there's this thing—I got f**king annihilated on the internet, early days, when I was tweeting." Lizzo added, "I was like, yo, there's a lotta racism in genre, you know what I mean? There's a lot of rappers that are actually singers, but they call them rappers because of their aesthetic, you know what I'm saying?" 

Lizzo went on to explain, "These rappers be singing they heart out but they got chains and they got the grill [so people call them rappers]. And they're using melody to create music and I think it's a beautiful thing. So, I was like, yo, I rap and I sing and I do the same, but I am as much of a rapper as Swae Lee or Future. And I got destroyed! They was like, 'Shut up! No fat b*tches in the club!' I was like, what did I do?!"
