Mon May 26 03:40:00 UTC 2025: **Lizzo Flaunts “Weight Release Journey” and New Yitty Swimwear Line, Claps Back at “Skinny” Claims**

**LOS ANGELES, CA** – Lizzo is turning heads and sparking conversations with her recent transformation, showcasing a visibly slimmer figure while promoting her Yitty swimwear line on Instagram. The singer has been open about her “intentional weight release journey,” emphasizing that it’s about personal growth, not conforming to societal pressures.

In a series of Instagram posts, Lizzo showed off her new physique in bold Yitty swimwear, including a sparkling blue bikini and a yellow patterned two-piece, accessorized with a platinum blonde wig, which reminded some fans of Beyoncé. “YITTY GRRRL SUMMER HAS BEGUN,” she declared, highlighting her size-inclusive brand that offers intimates, lounge, and shapewear in sizes XS to 6X.

However, her transformation hasn’t been without controversy. Some fans have expressed feeling betrayed due to her past advocacy for body positivity, while critics have claimed she’s succumbed to industry pressure to be “skinny.” Lizzo has pushed back against these claims, stating emphatically that she is “still big” and “well over 200 pounds.”

During a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, she addressed the criticism, stating, “I think I had to start with cleaning out my mind and my energy and clearing out all of the negativity around me.” She explained that the weight release started with a mental and emotional shift, followed by physical changes.

Earlier this year, Lizzo debuted a new platinum blonde look at the Met Gala, drawing comparisons to Beyoncé, and discussed her weight release journey on Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast. She reiterated her continued stance against fatphobia and reminded fans that personal growth happens at different paces for everyone, often beyond the public eye.

Meanwhile, Yitty continues to gain momentum, amassing a following of over 700,000 fans since its launch in April 2022.
