Comedian Aries Spears lost his mind today and decided to come for Lizzo in the vilest way he could think of.
We hate to even give this man air time, but in case he ever has a show in your city, we want to make sure you know who to boycott.
According to Hollywood Life On the latest episode of his podcast The Art of Dialogue, Aries tore into the Grammy winner, criticizing her physical traits with awful analogies that set her fans on fire.
“I can’t get over the fact she looks like the sh-t emoji,” Aries began in his terrible tirade. “She’s a very beautiful girl. She’s got a very pretty face, but she keeps showing her body off. C’mon man.” He then went on to say that he isn’t “in shape” himself, but “when you funny and you got swagger and confidence and you decent looking — I think I’m at least handsome — you get p—y.” Aries continued, “But a woman that’s built like a plate of mashed potatoes is in trouble. She’s dope. Her music’s hard… her body ain’t.”
“You know what kills me about women? The hypocrisy and contradiction,” he added. “Yaas, Queen.’ ‘Slay, Queen.’ F–k diabetes. F–k heart problems. F–k heart disease, cholesterol. Y’all claim womanhood and are about sisterhood, but if you really loved your sister you’d go ‘Black girl, we love you and your confidence, but this ain’t it.’”
The Twitter response came fast and furious, as one Lizzo stan poetically wrote, “Meanwhile, Lizzo is twerking and jumping around onstage while playing a whole ass wind instrument and this man is dealing with labored breathing just sitting and hating.” Another shared, “It’s not even that Aries Spears being overweight and hideous makes him ineligible to speak on Lizzo. Nobody should be speaking on her body, idc how they look.”
Yet another follower didn’t mince words when they wrote, “I want everybody who’s ever been misogynistic and fatphobic to Lizzo to live a miserable life. They don’t deserve to enjoy things.”
Watch below:
Mannnnnn….this man is struggling to get his words out without breathing all heavy, and you're talking about Lizzo's health?? The same Lizzo that can hit every note while dancing for 8 mins straight and give us a flute break? The call is coming from inside the house. https://t.co/Ondi1qOsK6

Along with fans Mike Epps wasted no time coming to Lizzo’s defense:
while more fans chimed in:
If you are not Lizzo's trainer, dietitian, doctor, or any other specialist that works with her for HER health, this thread is not a place for you to place your uninformed opinions ☺️ as a BS holder in Exercise Science, I don't care about your opinion.

The Lizzo hate still really gets under my skin because all that woman does is put out good music, love her beautiful self, AND cheer for everyone else to win.

Aries is definitely salty. Not because he’s concerned about Lizzo’s health – I truly doubt that – but because a woman her size is such a conversation topic. 100% has-been behavior.
He could’ve said “she’s not attractive to me” and left it there.

Aries gave a little funky response to the backlash in another video, claiming he knew it was coming, calling what he said a “Lizzo Joke”.

I KNEW IT WAS COMING!!! If the people that are angry particularly women really paid attention to the art of dialogue interview one I even called myself out for needing to lose weight and two more importantly the main point was celebrating the wrong thing there’s a lot of hypocritical women who also bash men at laughters expense but if you’re going to celebrate sister hood while lizzo’s confidence is commendable it’s also dangerous
(MYSELF INCLUDED) the truth is in the name of sisterhood ya’ll do more damage in silence than you do in false celebration but that never gets talked about but yet shame on me!!
and
Clown Sh*t.
