Lizzo dropped a new freestyle Wednesday in which she referenced the controversial American Eagles jeans campaign with Sydney Sweeney that the singer was unnecessarily dragged into.

"Fat ass, pretty face with the titties, bitch I got good genes, like I'm Sydney," Lizzo raps in the clip below.

Lizzo teased the release of some new music on Instagram earlier this week, posting a video that featured an excerpt from a Fox Business commentator who proclaimed that Sweeney's American Eagle campaign was a sign that "we're over this woke agenda."

"We are over the Lizzos, we are over the Dylan Mulvaneys," he said, in regards to trans content creator Dylan Mulvaney. "If this was a 300-pound, non-binary person, they would be applauding her."

The retailer issued a statement last week, denying claims of eugenics-coded messaging in the campaign.

"'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story," the statement reads. "We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone."

The campaign features a voiceover from the Euphoria actress in which she does a play on "genes" and "jeans."
