Saweetie became a trending Twitter topic on Friday (June 26) after she concocted a McDonald’s McGangbang on Instagram Live, a triple-deck sandwich consisting of two burgers and a McChicken.
As one would imagine, the sandwich isn’t exactly a healthy one — it packs a whopping 795 calories, 42 grams of fat, 66 grams of carbohydrates and 1,852 mg of sodium, according to the Nutritionix website. Coupled with the fries Saweetie threw on top, any health benefits from eating this monstrosity are minimal.
But it didn’t appear to matter when it came to the petite R&B singer shoving it down her throat, which quickly sparked a debate about double standards in the music industry. Soon, Lizzo’s name was thrust into the conversation with many people pointing out if she’d done something like this on Instagram Live, she’d be getting health advice from “internet doctors.” (Because, everyone’s an expert, right?)
Despite Lizzo’s vegan diet and exercise routine, she’ continually shamed for her outward appearance. Only two weeks ago, she put out a TikTok video of herself working out and was forced to defend herself once again, telling her fat shamers to “worry about [their] own god damn bodies.”
While some people came to Lizzo’s defense, others were simply disgusted she was brought into it at all.
Check out some of the reactions below.

Why seeing Saweetie eat bring up Lizzo in your head???!?!?
Youre part of the problem
When watching this I see someone bored and wanting to do something w/ their food.
I’m not thinking of what everybody else would think if this was Lizzo ?
Let her be
