We at QuotesForBros are always looking for the unconventional. We think we have found that in a new artist making recent headlines. Lizzo seemingly arrived on the music scene in 2018 and her popularity has been exploding ever since. However, those who are more privy to the rapper’s music know she has been releasing her hits since 2016. Chart-toppers, such as “Truth Hurts” and “Good as Hell”, have become well-known anthems that preach independence and self-love. Her fans, who she lovingly refers to as “Lizzbians”, credit Lizzo with helping improve their own self-image on a wide scale. Lizzo unabashedly speaks her mind and her truth. She isn’t afraid to be boisterous and even controversial at times. The singer’s performance at the 2019 VMAs featured her chugging from a bottle of tequila, lots of twerking, a mid-song empowerment speech, and a giant inflatable butt. She may not be everyone’s favorite person, but one thing is certain, Lizzo is going to continue to leave her mark on the world regardless of what other people think. Here are several spontaneous and raucous views on life pronounced by Lizzo that we feel are quite bro-like and deserving to be shared here:
“I don’t think that loving yourself is a choice. I think that it’s a decision that has to be made for survival; it was in my case.” -NBC News

“It’s like, you’re not gonna wake up and be bigger or smaller or lighter or darker; your hair’s not gonna suddenly grow down past your knees. You’re going to look this way for the rest of your life. And you have to be OK with that.” – NPR

So I want to take this opportunity right now to just feel good as hell. Cause you deserve to feel good as hell. We deserve to feel good as hell.” -VMA Performance
