Lizzo’s latest track, “Grrrls,” is stirring up attention for all the wrong reasons.
The new single — which dropped on June 10th to tease the singer’s upcoming sophomore album — is being called out for including a poor choice of words in its opening lines.
In the first verse, Lizzo sings, “Hold my bag b*itch / Hold my bag / Do you see this sh*t / I’m a sp*z.” The final word caught the attention of disability activists who say the term is an ableist slur that makes fun of people with conditions including cerebral palsy., “I’m disappointed in @lizzo for using the “sp@z” in her new song “Grrrls.” There’s no excuse for using an ableist insult in a song in 2022.
