“I’m proud to rep Houston, but I’m not proud to rep Texas politics right now,” she said during the conversation.
“Mind your business,” she added. “Trans rights are human rights.”
Lizzo also blasted the state’s ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, or at the detection of a fetal heartbeat, and slammed conservative politicians for being “all up in your uterus,” NBC News reported via Variety.
“The abortion ban is atrocious,” Lizzo said. “Mind your business. Stay out of my body. This is not political.”
