Lizzo, 32, said in an Instagram post on Monday that she was kicked out of a rental property after the owner threatened to call the police on her.

The Grammy Award-winning musician, who twerked poolside in a red bikini and cover-up in the video, directed a message toward the property owner.

"This is for the man that kicked me out of my 7-day rental 3 days early yesterday. This is for mocking the way that I dance and for using Instagram footage of me and my 6 black homegirls to say that we could 'hurt him' and threaten to call the police," she wrote.

Lizzo continued, "I know you're watching my page so I just want you to know you can't stop this black girls' shine. Thanks for kicking us out cus this house is better anyways."

Earlier in the week, the "Truth Hurts" singer shared a video of herself and her friends on vacation together.

"Just a group of melanated girls soaking up the sun. No rhyme or reason," she captioned the video.

Lizzo told fans that all of the trip attendees had been tested for COVID-19 before traveling and encouraged others to wear masks in public to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Prior to sharing her experience with the rental property with fans, Lizzo has been an outspoken supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Following the death of George Floyd, who was killed after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes, the pop star, who used to live in Minneapolis, encouraged people to speak out against racism and police violence.

"Protest is not the end of progress, it is the beginning," she wrote on Instagram. "Cities are burning, are you watching? I stand with Minneapolis. I believe in us. Change is gonna come."

Lizzo has also used her platform to share resources about the Black Lives Matter movement and invite activists to address her fans directly.

She's among the list of celebrities that signed an open letter, circulated by The Movement for Black Lives, to defund the police and reallocate city funds to community programs like education and healthcare.
