Bebe Rexha slammed body-shaming designers:'You wish you dressed my fat a**'

Singer Bebe Rexha has hit back at online trolls who criticised her weight, with one person labelling her “tubby”.

On Thursday, the 29-year-old pop star shared a photograph on Instagram and Twitter of herself performing in Cannes, France. In the caption, she wrote: “Unapologetically me”.

While the posts elicited a flurry of kind messages from fans, they also prompted several cruel comments, including one on Instagram reading: “you’re gaining a lot of weight tubby”.

But the “Meant To Be” singer immediately shut the criticism down, accusing the trolls of “just trying to get attention” in a tweet.

In subsequent tweets, Rexha added: “I don’t give a two s**** about what people think about my weight. I care about what I think about my weight.
