Lizzo has released a new version of her song “Grrrls” after one of the lyrics stirred up controversy over its derogatory meaning.
The original lyric that offended fans came from the song’s line, “Do you see this (expletive)? I'm a spazz,” with many pointing out that “spaz” is an ableist slur.
Lizzo’s quick willingness to alter the lyric appears to already be striking a chord with fans.
“I’m going to cry,” wrote Hannah Diviney, a disability advocate and writer, in response to Lizzo’s Twitter post. “Thank you so much for hearing us Lizzo and for understanding that this was only ever meant gently and being open to learning, it honestly means the world. You’re a real true ally.”
