Lizzo releases a new version of her song Grrrls after being blasted by disability activists for using 'ableist' term 's**z'


Lizzo announced that she released an updated version of her new song Grrrls that features a 'lyric change', after she received backlash for using an ableist slur on the track.

The pop singer, 34, said she 'never want(s) to promote derogatory language' and said she was 'dedicated to being part of the change I've been waiting to see in the world'.

Lizzo was blasted by disability activists on Twitter for including the 'ableist' slur in her latest track off her sophomore album Special, which was released on Friday, with fans begging her to 'remove' it from streaming services.

Short for the derogatory term 'spastic', it is considered to be offensive in the UK, while its US definition is to 'lose physical or emotional control'.

In her opening verse, the Grammy winner sings: 'Hold my bag, b****, hold my bag / Do you see this s***? Ima s**z.'

I think it is fair to say that some people spaz out over words.

The whole "song" is a cesspool and people get offended by just one word in it?
