Lizzo has been candid about her “weight release”—a term that refers to a more holistic, well-rounded approach to weight loss—since September 2024, when she shared in a tiktok video that she had undergone a dramatic transformation.
At the time, she revealed some details about the process, showing off in a black two-piece before the video cut to the singer in a gray bodysuit that accentuated her figure. She chimed in with a video clip from Nicki Minaj, in which she says, “The fact that you would even talk about my looks is insane. I’m a bad bitch, I’ve always been a bad bitch.”
“Fine in both directions 😮💨”, the “2 be loved” singer wrote the post.
Since then, Lizzo has shared numerous updates on his journey. Last November, she posted a lighthearted Instagram video that showed off more of her weight loss.
“My mom stole my hair and ate me 😫,” Lizzo captioned the clip, which captured the Grammy winner and her mom, Shari Johnson-Jefferson, sporting matching braided hairstyles while on a car ride together, lip-synching to the sound from Keep up with the Kardashians.

The musician has previously been open about her relationship with her own body image and the concept of “body positivity”, which encourages people to love and accept their bodies regardless of their size. In March 2024, she said The New York Times That he now thinks of himself in terms of “body neutrality”.
“The idea of body positivity was moving away from the antiquities of the mainstream conception,” she explained. “It evolved into body neutrality.”
“I’m not going to lie and say I love my body every day. The bottom line is, the way you feel about your body changes every day,” she continued. “Some days I adore my body, and other days I don’t feel completely positive.”
Lizzo also talked about wanting to be “methodical” and consistent when it comes to her weight loss process.
“I take time every day to put some love into my body,” she said The New York Times. “There’s never a day when I regret taking a walk or doing some pilates.”
“I was methodical, losing weight very slowly,” Lizzo added, before responding to critics who claim her weight loss goes against her former body positivity stance.
“My body is nobody’s business,” she insisted.
