<p>Rap artist Lizzo rejected the idea that when she wears skimpy outfits on stage it contributes to the sexualization of women, saying that she does it to be &#8220;political and feminist.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lizzo">34-year-old</a> Grammy winner, born Melissa Viviane Jefferson, spoke to Vanity Fair about wearing those revealing outfits and said &#8220;black women are hypersexualized all the time,&#8221; in a piece published by the <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/10/lizzo-is-here-to-talk-about-all-of-it">outlet</a> Tuesday.</p>
<p>&#8220;When it’s sexual, it&#8217;s mine,&#8221; the rapper said. &#8220;When it&#8217;s sexualized, someone is doing it to me or taking it from me. Black women are hypersexualized all the time, and masculinized simultaneously.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Because of the structure of racism, if you&#8217;re thinner and lighter, or your features are narrow, you&#8217;re closer to being a woman,&#8221; she added.</p>

<p>Halfway to achieving EGOT status, the Emmy and Grammy winner sat down with Lisa Robinson for a frank conversation about internet criticism, the nuances of positivity, and the “love of [her] life.” </p>

<p>&#8220;After [Beyoncé&#8217;s &#8216;Single Ladies&#8217;] it seemed like it became the industry standard for everyone,&#8221; the rap artist continued. &#8220;I wanted to be like a dancer and also, it was kind of political and feminist in my eyes to have me, a full-figured dancer, wearing leotards, showing and celebrating curves and being Olympian in strength, endurance, and flexibility.&#8221;</p>
<p>The singer explained that over the last hundred years, &#8220;movements have to evolve generationally. The culture changes. You can&#8217;t have a movement in 1920 be the same thing as it is in the 2020s. We have to match the rebellion.&#8221;</p>
<p>Later, the &#8220;Good as Hell&#8221; hitmaker talked about twerking and said it&#8217;s a &#8220;black woman thing&#8221; that&#8217;s &#8220;printed in our DNA,&#8221; referencing comments she made in her <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/lizzo_the_black_history_of_twerking_and_how_it_taught_me_self_love?language=en">TED Talk</a> about the &#8220;Black History of Twerking.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it deserved being intellectualized, it deserved to have a classical etymology, it needed an origin story,&#8221; Lizzo shared. &#8220;It’s a Black woman thing, it was almost printed in our DNA. It disappeared and resurfaced in the 1920s, then disappeared and resurfaced in the 1980s. It’s an almost inexplicable phenomenon.&#8221;</p>
