Lizzo showed off her body in a daring cut-out swimming costume in a video she shared to Instagram on Tuesday – amid her ‘gap year’ in Bali.
The American singer, 36, turned and posed in her room in the video shared to her almost twelve million followers.
Lizzo, who announced the ‘gap year’ from music on Sunday, played the sound ‘The British are coming’ in the background.
Referencing this in the post’s caption, she wrote: ‘Body so [tea emoji] got the British’s comin GB.’
‘Tea’ started as African-American English slang for ‘gossip’ but now also means ‘good’ or ‘attractive’.
On Instagram on Sunday Lizzo revealed she would be taking a gap year to ‘protect her peace’.
Lizzo famously faced multiple lawsuits from 2023 after her touring dancers accused her of mistreatment.
Alongside a video of herself stepping out onto the balcony of her Bali villa, Lizzo wrote: ‘I’m taking a gap year & protecting my peace [praying hands].’
Earlier this year, Lizzo seemingly announced her exit from the music business.
Lizzo is the first female rapper to win the highly coveted Record Of The Year gong – doing so with About Damn Time in 2023.
But, the four-time Grammy winner admitted that she had grown tired of ‘being the butt of the joke’.
She wrote on Instagram in March: ‘I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet. All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it. But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it.
‘I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout and views … being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look. My character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name. I didn’t sign up for this s***. (sic)’
The gap year follows Lizzo’s recent health journey, where the body positivity trailblazer now embracing ‘body neutrality’ has led to significant weight loss.
‘The idea of body positivity, it’s moved away from the antiquated mainstream conception,’ she told The New York Times in March. ‘It’s evolved into body neutrality.’
However, Lizzo confessed to the New York Times that achieving self-love isn’t always attainable.
‘I’m not going to lie and say I love my body every day,’ she said. ‘The bottom line is, the way you feel about your body changes every single day.
‘There are some days I adore my body, and others when I don’t feel completely positive.
Since wrapping up her Special Tour, Lizzo shared with the outlet that she has shifted her focus to maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise.
‘I’m taking the time every day to put some love into my body,’ she said.
‘There is never a day when I regret taking a walk or doing some Pilates.’
‘I’ve been methodical, losing weight very slowly,’ she added.
