SZA and Lizzo have been friends for years now that's why the former will do anything to defend her good pal from haters who have been targeting her with body-shaming comments recently.

The "SOS" hitmaker recently took to her official Twitter account to share a series of tweets to call out online users that are bullying the "Special" hitmaker for expressing herself and being positive with her body on her social media accounts.

"I be wondering where all the virtue signaling, well spoken s*** talking, internet warriors are when someone genuine needs defending. Where the f*** do y'all be at for Lizzo?" she asked fans.

She added another question, asking them if they actually know how to support other artists or just tear them down.

One fan replied to the original post, asking if the public "don't go to war for Lizzo" on Twitter, to which the musician responded with, "NOT E*******NUFF."

She noted that the ratios "don't add up" regarding the love, encouragement, and positivity that she embodies on a daily basis on the social media platform.

For her final sentiments regarding the issue, SZA concluded her rant by telling her followers that she don't care who don't agree, but the thought has been in her mind for a while now.

The "Broken Clocks" hitmaker just wanted people to "practice kindness and shut up because "it's ugly outside already."

As of this writing, Lizzo has yet to react to SZA's recent tweets.

Lizzo Gets Targeted With Body-Shaming Comments Online

According to Billboard, SZA's recent rant comes after Lizzo locked her Twitter account following a number of comments pertaining to her body weight and the hate she's been receiving on social media.

In a post, the "Good As Hell" hitmaker asked her followers if love does not outweigh the hate online because she's "fat."

She also noted that she's close to "giving up on everyone and quitting" for her to enjoy her money and her "man" on a "farm."

Lizzo, SZA Friendship

Lizzo and SZA, who dropped a remix of the former's track "Special" earlier this year, have been friends for years.

The "Juice" hitmaker opened up about their connection on the "Rolling Stone Music Now" podcast, saying she loves hanging out in the recording studio with her because SZA gets her and she's the type of person who has "hella music tastes."

Last year, when SZA was named as one of Time Magazine's 2022 Time100 Next, Lizzo wrote an essay to give fans an insight about their friendship, saying they met at a concert in Minneapolis
