Lizzo delivers powerful message about self-love in front of a giant butt at the VMAs

"It's so hard trying to love yourself in a world that doesn't love you back, am I right?"

Lizzo just took a DNA test, turns out she's 100 percent that bitch. And her performance at the 2019 VMAs is the proof (not that you needed any).

Performing in front of a giant butt wearing a pink thong, Lizzo obliterated singles "Truth Hurts" and "Good As Hell." Midway through the latter, she delivered a powerful message to the audience.

"I'm tired of the bullshit and I don't have to know your story to know you're tired of the bullshit too," she said. "It's so hard trying to love yourself in a world that doesn't love you back, am I right?"

"So, I wanna take this opportunity right now to just feel good as hell because you deserve to feel good as hell."

Well, I think the conclusion is clear. Lizzo for President.
