Ice Spice Is The Latest Celebrity To Prove Body Positivity Is Out

Ice Spice was the curvy queen not that long ago, but now she’s rocking her abs on social media. The viral star who made everyone do a double take with her curves on full display in every performance has been looking incredibly toned. The latest photo of her flaunting a tight stomach is going viral, and suddenly, people are questioning: Is the body positivity movement losing steam?

Take a look at social media, where @lezzkei tweeted: "idk if is it just me, but ice spice looks SO better now after she lost weight. she looks healthier, more fit and pretty." Meanwhile, a fan account, @updatesforspice, defends Ice’s transformation, saying she’s been “working out like crazy” for better breath control and health, with a nod to her recent coffee habit, which may also be a factor in the weight loss. @BotchedBody added, "They’re jealous. Skinny is in bbls are over."

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a star shed the “thicker is better” mantra. Lizzo has been going hard at the gym, lifting weights, and adopting a healthier lifestyle, too.

What was once a movement about embracing all bodies, regardless of size, has morphed into something more like a trend, From Lizzo's controversial moments (remember that Lakers game fiasco?) to the rise of influencers with perfectly toned bodies selling “body love,” there’s been a subtle (or not-so-subtle) shift in the narrative. Now, it seems, being “healthy” is taking precedence over simply being happy with the way you look, and, frankly, it’s making some people wonder if the body positivity movement was ever truly about health at all.

Body positivity, once a beacon for acceptance and self-love, has been hijacked by influencers peddling unhealthy habits under the guise of self-care. It's no longer about supporting diverse body types but about pushing an agenda that mixes self-love with a lot of confusion. If Ice Spice and Lizzo’s transformations are any indication, the body-positive “revolution” may be over, or at least changing.
