Lizzo is turning up the heat just in time for summer. The multi-Grammy-winning singer, 37, took to Instagram on Saturday, May 24, to celebrate her stunning transformation and ignite what she dubbed the start of “YITTY GRRRL SUMMER 😈.” Clad in vibrant bikinis from her Yitty shapewear line, Lizzo lit up the screen in a pair of playful Instagram videos, flaunting her confidence, curves, and charisma.

One video featured Lizzo joyfully rapping in her garden to Pluto and YK Niece’s “WHIM WHAMIEE,” mouthing the line: “I’ve been fat, I’ve been skinny / B—— still ain’t f—— with me.” She paired her performance with eye-catching pieces from Yitty, including a sunshine-yellow triangle bikini and cobalt shimmer thong bottoms. Additional featured styles included the luxe plunge bikini top and coordinating metallic bottoms — priced between $49.95 and $64.95.

Lizzo on Her Weight “Release”
Since 2023, Lizzo has spoken openly about what she calls her “weight release” journey. In January 2025, she revealed to fans that she’d dropped her Body Mass Index (BMI) by 10.5 and reduced body fat by 16%. These milestones followed her earlier TikTok transformation post in September 2024, where she proudly showed off her slimmer physique with the caption: “Fine both ways 😮‍💨”

Lizzo also took to TikTok Live in April to discuss her evolving relationship with food and movement, saying: “I avoid sweets in the morning — I go for super savory things. If I do something sweet, it’s gotta have a carb like almond butter and toast.” She emphasized that while every body is different, weight loss remains grounded in one truth: “Calories in versus calories out — that’s just how the human body works.”

Defying Expectations, Staying Authentic
In a March 2024 interview with The New York Times, Lizzo described her approach to wellness as both “methodical” and “gentle.” “I’m taking time every day to put some love into my body,” she said. “There’s never a day I regret a walk or Pilates.” While her transformation has sparked discussions across social media, the “About Damn Time” singer remains unwavering in her stance on body autonomy: “My body is nobody’s business.”

Lizzo’s Red Carpet Radiance
Just months ago, Lizzo stunned at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, radiating self-love and confidence — the very spirit that fuels her candid health journey. As fans cheer on her continued evolution, Lizzo’s message is clear: health, happiness, and hot girl summers aren’t defined by size — they’re defined by self-love.
