Lizzo appears to be taking the long-running animated series South Park in stride after the show mocked her in a recent episode.
The show aired a special on Paramount+ on Friday called “The End of Obesity,” featuring the singer as an alternative to the weight-loss drug Ozempic and harnessing the power of “not giving a damn.”
“FDA-approved Lizzo helps you feel good about your weight, and it’s priced 90% less than Ozempic,” the voiceover explains. “Case studies show that 70% of patients who take Lizzo stop worrying about their weight. Lizzo helps you eat all the things you love, while minimizing exercise.”
“I’ve lowered my standards and my expectations,” one character explains. “I don’t care!”

“My worst fears have come true,” Lizzo told fans, “They mentioned me in an episode of South Park. So scary. I’d do a blind duet right now.”
After the video, she commented, “It’s crazy. I really feel like I’m such a bitch. I really am such a bitch. I showed the world that I love myself and I don’t care. These guys in Colorado know who I am and they put me in a cartoon that’s been running for 25 years.”
She continued, “I’m such a bitch and I can teach you how to not care and I’m going to teach you how to not care.”
Responding to the South Park gag, Lizzo said she was “really that bitch.”

The character Eric Cartman told his psychiatrist that he had a nightmare in which the students at his school were replaced with a more diverse group, saying, “I felt like screaming. I was like, ‘Why are they replacing all the characters with diverse people?’ And Kenny was like, ‘It’s not our fault, it’s Kathleen Kennedy’s fault,’ and Kathleen Kennedy was like, ‘Damn, make it more boring!'”
