Hey, everyone and welcome back. So on Friday, Lizzo released her latest single, Girls. However, it received a lot of criticism, especially from disability advocates for using the derogatory term specific area, which is a form of cerebral palsy. A lot of people talk to Twitter and talk to sort of explain the history an offensive nature of the term, especially here in the U. K. And in response, released a written a public apology on Monday and even released a new version of the song with the lyrics changed. Now I think this is incredibly interesting because it's sort of shows the accountability and the responsibility that musicians have when it comes to their work. Um, I feel like it marked a shift in sort of how artists should respond. I feel like such an example because not only did she released an apology, but she actually took action. Um, by listening to a community that were very upset by what she had done and, you know, immediately took action to sort of remove the lyric. You know, a lot of artists tend to apologize or even ignore or just sort of play down. Um, the response and I think it's really set an example here. I think it's really interesting, especially in light of what happened with Auntie Diaries. Um, and the backlash that's sort of received. You know, this new wave of artists sort of holding accountability, but what do you guys think?
