Beyoncé is changing a lyric to a song on her new album,"Renaissance," following criticism by many people in the disability community that the track contained an ableist slur.Lizzo received backlash for the same word after initially including it in her single"Grrrls,"
which was released in June. After fans pointed out that the word originates from"spastic," the artist changed the lyrics. “Someone who is spastic is born with a disability which makes it difficult for them to control their muscles, especially in their arms and legs,”, generally “cerebral palsy causes impaired movement associated with exaggerated reflexes, floppiness or spasticity of the limbs and trunk, unusual posture, involuntary movements, unsteady walking, or some combination of these.”04:33
Some also noted that the term has a different meaning in the Black community, commonly used to mean “go crazy” in African American English, or African American Vernacular English .. “Please educate yourself on our language the way we’ve been ‘encouraged’ to read up on ableist terms.”: “This honestly feels like a case of misunderstood AAVE bc ‘Imma spaz out’ goes back to the 90s and I’ve never known it to be tied to a medical condition. Not to say that it’s not problematic.
A representative for Beyoncé said in a statement that “the word, not used intentionally in a harmful way, will be replaced.”
