Lizzo Removes Ableist Lyric from Single 'GRRRLS'

The Grammy Award winner, Lizoo, 34, released a new version of her single "GRRRLS" from her upcoming fourth studio album Special after eliminating "ableist slur" from her lyrices.

"It's been brought to my attention that there is a harmful word in my new song 'GRRRLS.' Let me make one thing clear: I never want to promote derogatory language,"

"As a fat Black woman in America, I've had many hurtful words used against me so I overstand the power words can have (whether intentionally or in my case, unintentionally)."
