Lizzo fired back at criticism over her body and identity in her new track “IDGAS” from the deluxe mixtape “My Face Still Hurts From Smiling.”
Lizzo came out swinging on Tuesday (September 5) with her new track “IDGAS” from the deluxe version of her mixtape, using the song to push back against accusations of racism, fat shaming and Ozempic use.
The chorus wastes no time setting the tone: “Tell me somethin’ they don’t know about me already / F### that, I don’t give a s### / If I gave a f###, you would know by now.”
On the verses, Lizzo calls out the contradictions in the criticism she’s received. “How can I fat-shame? I’m fat / How am I racist? I’m Black.”
She also shuts down speculation about using Ozempic and clout-chasing online.
Then she doubles down with a final declaration: “Long as I’m livin’ in this country, I’ma pop my s###, I’ma act country.”
The track appears on the expanded edition of her mixtape, My Face Still Hurts From Smiling, which dropped Tuesday (September 5).
The original version, My Face Hurts From Smiling, came out on June 27 and included 13 songs.
The deluxe adds nine more, including new collaborations with Tierra Whack on “Internet” and Lil Jon on “S###.”
Lizzo introduced the project with a bold message: “LET FEMALE RAP FALL BEGIN.”
