Lizzo changes derogatory lyric after backlash – BBC News


Pop star Lizzo has changed the lyrics to her latest song after fans complained it used an ableist slur.

Grrrls, which was released last week, originally contained a derogatory term for a form of cerebral palsy known as spastic diplegia, in the first verse.

Fans said they were "shocked" and "disappointed", and asked her to re-record the song with alternative words.

The star took the criticism to heart and released a new version omitting the "harmful word" on Monday night.
