Bebe Rexha is tired of people commenting on her weight.

In a Tweet Friday morning, the singer, 33, snapped back at fans who said she looked heavier. She said she is fed up with her looks being a topic of conversation.

“I know I got fat,” the “I’m Good” artist wrote. “I’m just so sick of people talking about it. NEXT!!!!!!”

Many followers supported her in the comments.

“Dont let this get to you, you are perfect the way you are as you are now," wrote one fan.

Another commented: “Bebe you aren’t fat you are simply evolving as a woman and your body is changing . Everyone goes through this and for people to make nasty comments mean they have nothing better to do with their life but hate on people they are jealous of 👏”

Rexha followed it up with a second Tweet, explaining why the comments are insensitive.

"Human beings go through weight fluctuations it’s life and you don’t know what people are going through. Meds, disease, etc…" she wrote.

Earlier this month Rexha took to Twitter to post a screenshot of searches that showed her name and the word "fat," writing, "Yes I'm in my fat era and what?"

Rexha also posted a photo of herself holding up her shirt in a bathroom mirror to show her stomach.

The artist also called out the search bar on TikTok in mid-April, posting a screenshot of it to Twitter that showed people were looking up "Bebe Rexha weight."

Rexha has been open about her weight gain in the past. She talked about being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome — which affects one in 10 women — on The Jennifer Hudson Show. She said a common symptom of the condition is weight gain, and she “jumped, like, 30 lbs. so quickly.”

The “Me, Myself & I” singer revealed at the time that she had read comments about her changing body on TikTok.

"Listen, we're in the public eye, so that's bound to happen," she told Hudson, 41. "I was a lot thinner and I did gain some weight — that comes with the territory. I'm not mad about it because it is true, but when you see things like that, it does mess with you."

"You don't know what somebody's going through, what they're going through in their life, so it kind of is tough. But I feel like we're in 2023 ... we should not be talking about people's weight," she added, to a huge round of applause from Hudson and the audience.

"Listen ... I like to eat, OK? I like to eat,” the singer explained, as Hudson chimed in, "Ain't nothing wrong with that!"
