Before shutting down her body-shaming critics, Lizzo revealed she manifested being on the cover of SI. She said years ago, she spoke the opportunity into existence while designing her swimwear line for Yitty \u2014 her shape- and size-inclusive clothing brand launched in 2022. Lizzo said: <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was genuinely excited. I was like, \u2018Wow, I kind of manifested this,\u2019 because I have Yitty Swim, which I love. Every time I do Yitty Swim, I always feel like it\u2019s Sports Illustrated-level. It\u2019s only a matter of time when these worlds collide. I was super excited to do the runway show, and then they were like, \u2018You\u2019re on the cover, b*tch,\u2019 I was like, \u2018Hell yeah, bring it on!\u2019 I love it. I love it.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She later added: <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI do think I manifest very, very well. But I think everyone can. I just think that my proclivity to believe what I dream is very high. Like, I can dream things but not really believe it. But when I believe what I dream, it comes true.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lizzo continued to share how she always wanted to see somebody with her body type on the cover. She recalled: <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I was younger, I saw [the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue] and never imagined somebody with my body type would be on the cover. It\u2019s just incredible to see how we\u2019ve redefined sexy, redefined confidence and redefined what a swimsuit body is since I was a kid. The whole runway show was so beautiful, with all different kinds of bodies being celebrated, like pregnant bodies. I thought it was just really, really cute and fabulous.\u00a0 So to be on the cover, I do feel like\u2026 wow.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RELATED<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodunlocked.com\/megan-thee-stallion-becomes-the-first-female-rapper-to-be-on-the-cover-of-sports-illustrateds-swimsuit-issue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Megan Thee Stallion Becomes The First Female Rapper To Be On The Cover Of Sports Illustrated\u2019s Swimsuit Issue<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-lizzo-talks-yitty-and-sports-illustrated-swimsuit-cover\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lizzo Talks Yitty And Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lizzo not only manifested a spread with SI, but her cover suit, and other looks from the spread, is her own design from Yitty. Anticipating the backlash from her SI spread, Lizzo said, \u201cSeeing this cover of me all sexy and fat and fabulous in my Yitty Swim may trigger some people. But, you know \u2026 Stay triggered.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lizzo also addressed her intentional 20-pound weight gain after her recent weight loss transformation. She previously told <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2026\/07\/12\/celebrity-news\/lizzo-addresses-recent-20-pound-weight-gain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Guardian<\/a> she deliberately put the weight back on over the past year to combat the \u201csystem of oppression\u201d which keeps women in the spotlight under constant scrutiny. Lizzo now updates: <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve gained weight since last year. I gained about 20 pounds. I wanted to get thicker. I wanted to get juicier and thicker, and I did. Now on the internet, I\u2019ve seen people being like, \u2018She\u2019s gaining it back,\u2019 and trying to clown me for that. Little do they know it was intentional. But I think that just shows you that people are always going to criticize your body. It doesn\u2019t matter how much weight you lose. I was still getting fat jokes on the internet. I was simultaneously getting accused of not being body positive because I lost weight. It\u2019s just, like, don\u2019t try to please everybody. Just please yourself. It\u2019s your body. You deserve to enjoy your life in it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RELATED<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodunlocked.com\/valentina-sampaio-makes-history-as-sports-illustrateds-first-transgender-model\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Valentina Sampaio Makes History As Sports Illustrated\u2019s First Transgender Model<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While speaking on Yitty, she explained: <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYitty was a part of something that I was super passionate about. And when I ideated it back in 2017 [and] \u201918, the market was not very saturated at all. There were maybe a few size-inclusive shapewear brands at the time, and barely that. We were developing all through the pandemic, and then we launched in 2022. I was very proud to be a part of a burgeoning clothing category, which is size-inclusive shapewear, size-inclusive swimwear and activewear. Now it\u2019s pretty common and mainstream. I\u2019ll look on TikTok and see brands that literally look like my brand. I wasn\u2019t seeing that before Yitty came out. I\u2019m proud to have been an influence on some of the other brands.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wrapping her interview, Lizzo said she\u2019s soaking up this moment and enjoying life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSports Illustrated Swimsuit was definitely something that we just said out loud and thought about, and then it happened, without an inkling that it would. And I feel like I\u2019ve achieved so much professionally that, at this point, I feel very accomplished. So I don\u2019t spend my time dreaming about things like that anymore because I\u2019ve done so much and achieved so much. I think now, my newest fantasy is about feeling good in my body and enjoying my life. Enjoying my life in my body and in my mind. I do a lot of spiritual work. A lot of prayer. A lot of meditation. And a lot of just listening to tones and frequencies in order to just relax. I worked so hard that I destroyed my nervous system. I have such bad anxiety that now \u2018\u2019m working on reversing those things because it\u2019s not conducive to my career. It doesn\u2019t help. You know, to be an artist of this caliber and to have anxiety and to have fear\u2026it\u2019s like, Man, there\u2019s no place for that. So\u2026 I really am just seeking joy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#Socialites, be sure to check out the post below, then leave us your thoughts in a comment after! <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbHrWq3EcsZ\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"\/>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lizzo continues to dismiss her body-shaming critics, boldly telling them to \u201cstay triggered\u201d as she flaunts her \u201csexy, fat, and fabulous\u201d body on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
