Gabourey Sidibe is not holding back.
The actress has clapped back at rapper Twista after he posted a fatphobic meme to his Instagram account.
More details below…
On December 9, the rapper posted the now-deleted Instagram, which compared Sidibe to model Bernice Burgos.
The first picture, which depicts the ‘American Horror Story’ actress is supposed to represent a successful but not conventionally attractive woman (choice A) while the second choice, (Choice B), is supposed to represent he type of woman projected as beautiful but isn’t grounded financially, or Burgos.
Twista captioned the meme:
“Who y’all choosing A or B?”
This caused Sidibe, who has previously been subjected to public humiliation, to respond:
“Wow. I um…. gee. @twistagmg I only like you as a rapper I forgot about in 2005. But good luck with option B!”

Many fans also came to the defense of Sidibe and called out the ‘Overnight Celebrity’ rapper.

Gabby is engaged and a successful actress. I just saw her in another movie the other day. What has Twista been doing lately?!

Twista has since apologized for the meme in a post on his Instagram account, saying:
“Everyone is beautiful in my eyes! And I also believe that beauty starts from within!”

It should also be noted that the meme has no chance of becoming a reality, as Sidibe recently announced her engagement to her boyfriend Brandon Frankel last month (as we reported here).
With that, what are…
Twista? That’s a name I haven’t heard in years.
2020 is really a wild year.
Oh Twista u know u can’t do that nowadays lol
Black women smh… this fat mess is jealous of light skinned pretty chicks, just like some of y’all in here💁🏿♀️💁🏿♀️💁🏿♀️ Hit the gym first before all the trash talk💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿
Bye clown. Ain’t nobody jealous of some little boy with a color and gender complex. Instead of advising black women to hit the gym, you may want to hit the books. Based on the lack of subject/verb agreement in ur comments, you need to get that ass in school ASAP. Ur parents should be whooped in the streets for allowing a mental case like you to become a truant. 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻😂😂😂
Her creepy white boyfriend chose option a for sure. 💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿 Black work will do anything for pink d I c k s smh. Shame on them. White men treat black women with no respect & no dignity 💁🏿♀️💁🏿♀️💁🏿♀️
As if black men would treat them with respect. Better choose the white men, at least they are going to pay child support.
Ugh…yet another racist troll. I can’t. TGJ…you really know how to attract them…
#XYZ Fancy BISH approves.
Danzou who? I’m Fancy BISH.
⬆️⬆️⬆️ of course you do Danzou #1. That ain’t a surprise. Seethe clown, seethe!! 🤡🤡🤡🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
I’m Fancy BISH the one and only.
The f***, Just be a man about it and admit that YOU made a stupid joke and apologize. Embarrassing …
I read it in another perspective on another site. It read Gabby as Choice A, a successful woman, and Choice B, Bernice (whoever she is), a couch surfer, with 3 kids, no car and 12k followers on social media. The question is then asked who would you go with Choice A or Choice B.
If I believe the other site, which I find a bit more credible, I would have NOT responded if I were Gabby. It appeared that the post was shading Choice B, NOT GABBY, versus, criticizing Gabby. Perhaps Gabby was appalled by the criticizing of another Black woman?
You have tuuuurible comprehension skills 🤦🏾♂️😩
I’m hoping it was meant to challenge our perception. Basically, don’t judge a book by its cover, in defense of all the hate Gabby is getting about her engagement.
