Pop star Lizzo has changed the lyrics to her latest song after fans complained it used an ableist slur.
Grrrls, which was released last week, originally contained a derogatory term for a form of cerebral palsy known as spastic diplegia, in the first verse.
Fans said they were “shocked” and “disappointed”, and asked her to re-record the song with alternative words.
The star took the criticism to heart and released a new version omitting the “harmful word” on Monday night.
The new version has already replaced the original on streaming services including Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube.
