Offset is pleading with Internet trolls to leave his wife, Cardi B, and fellow rapper Lizzo alone. The Migos rapper begged trolls to stop harassing Cardi B and Lizzo and just let them “be great”.
The Bronx rapper and Lizzo have faced severe backlash after releasing the new music video for their collaboration single “Rumors.”
Lizzo was dragged for portraying herself as a goddess in the music video, which was tame by Lizzo’s vulgar standards.
Offset – who has been married to Cardi since 2017 — told TMZ:
“Let these beautiful black women be great, stop judging. We work hard to be entertainers for the world. Let us be.”
Lizzo recently broke down crying in a YouTube video, as she revealed she’s received hateful comments from fat-shamers and “racists.”
The R&B/pop star fought back tears as she said:
“I just feel like I’m seeing negativity directed towards me in the most weirdest way. People saying s**t about me that just doesn’t even make sense.
“It’s fat-phobic, and it’s racist and it’s hurtful. If you don’t like my music, cool. If you don’t like Rumors the song, cool.”
The singer confessed to being shocked by the online hate:
“I make music that I like, that’s important to me, and I make music that I hope helps people.
“I’m not making music for white people – I’m not making music for anybody. I’m a black woman making music. I make black music, period. I’m not serving anyone but myself. Everyone is invited to a Lizzo show, to a Lizzo song.”
Facebook recently deleted comments and blocked dozens of Internet trolls. Facebook officials vowed to monitor Lizzo’s timeline for more hate, which will be dealt with swiftly.
