Malika Haqq in Bathing Suit Says "Imma Keep That Same Energy"

Kaliii is heating up social media in her swimsuit. In one of her latest posts, the Area Codes singer flaunts her famous figure in a tiny bathing suit. “i hate home,” she captioned the Instagram photos with her million-plus followers. “Sexcy!” commented Rubi Rose, while Ice Spice added heart-eye emojis. How does the young musician approach mental and physical health? Here are 5 things to know about her.

1. She Doesn’t Want to Be a “Toxic Girl” Anymore

Kaliii explains that her next EP, Toxic Girls Need Love Too is “a play off” of her last EP called Toxic Chocolate. “And I feel like in Toxic Chocolate, that was my real Toxic Girl era. Me going through it with men, and just finding myself. And Toxic Girls Need Love Too, is me... I had my toxic phase, obviously, then I got in a relationship. I fell in love by accident, and then it didn't really work out, but instead of me going back to my toxic ways, I asked myself what do I want for me, and what do I want for my music and my career? And I just wanted to be outside with the girls,” she told Uproxx in a recent interview.

Kaliii was more interested in a soccer career than a rap one through high school. She even dreamed of making the US Women’s National Team and playing in the World Cup. She told Uproxx that her parents were “really strict about” meeting those requirements of greatness and stressing the importance of achievement over having fun, as youth sports parents sometimes do, which was “the death knell” for her dream. “As a teenager, nobody wants to come to your soccer game,” she added. “They want to be outside.” That, combined with the “tough love” it all became “too much.” “It's not that I was falling out of love with it,” she insists. “There was just too much going on. I felt really sheltered. I felt like I couldn't be outside without soccer. My weekends were consumed with that.” At 18, she quit, refocusing on her music.

3. She Looks at Her Career as a “Team sport”

“Soccer is a team sport and you have to be working with your teammates to win,” she told Uproxx. “I feel like that's everyday life, like me collaborating with other female rappers, working with my peers. That's how you create hits anyway: Working with other people, being able to collab with different producers and different writers. When you're playing soccer, you have to listen to the coach and you have to listen to people and your team. I have my team at Atlantic, my manager, everybody. I listen to them and their opinions and what they have to say. We're in this game together, and they know where they want to take me and I know where I want to go. So putting our heads together, there's nothing we can't win.”

4. Barbie Is “Healing” for Her

Kaliii, who has a song in the Barbie movie, has great memories of the doll and loves the message of the movie. “I know Issa Rae's in there. I'm really excited about that. She's hilarious. So I just know it's going to be hilarious too.” Her take on the ongoing Barbie-mania is equally funny, but just as sharply insightful as the film itself appears to be in its trailers. “It's not for the little girls right now. It's for everybody that's super grown, and it's like, ‘Oh my God, I need this for healing.’"

5. Subhead Goes Right Here

Kaliii admits she still has a lot of growin up to do. “I'm not saying that I'm 100% not toxic. I definitely still have my toxic tendencies, but my mission is to be 100% healed and not be toxic. Because when I take it there, it's like, yeah, I'm really up there.” But for now, she says she’s ‘grown,’ asserting that “I know what I want to stand for now, and what I want my brand to be. And I really want girls to look at me and be like, ‘She's so confident and she has this effortless beauty and confidence.’ I just want to be everybody's homegirl,” she said. “So that's what this tape represents for me,” she continues. “I wanted to be more vulnerable and show girls that I go through things, just like y'all go through things. I've cried over men before. I've done the back and forth. But instead of blaming that relationship and going back to my toxic ways, I kind of want to grow from it and become the best version of me. So Toxic Girls Need Love Too is basically me showing that, being more vulnerable, finding my sound, and finding who Kaliii is, to build the best me.”

Lizzo identifies as “body neutral” not “body positive,” she explained in the December 2021 issue of Essence Magazine. “It’s exhausting,” she said. “And that’s the point. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. We should be neutral about bodies.” She has also used the term "body normative” to describe her approach. “I want to normalize my body. And not just be like, ‘Ooh, look at this cool movement. Being fat is body-positive.’ No, being fat is normal,” she told Vogue in 2020. “I think now, I owe it to the people who started this to not just stop here. We have to make people uncomfortable again, so that we can continue to change. Change is always uncomfortable, right?”

2. She Battled Body Dysmorphia

Lizzo revealed during a Rolling Stone interview that she battled body image issues as a teen. However, she has come to love herself exactly the way she is. “I’ve come to terms with body dysmorphia and evolved,” she explained.

After being accused of fueling the “obesity epidemic” via Twitter and she responded, she opted to take a step back from social media. “That was the end of that era for me,” she told Rolling Stone.

Lizzo doesn’t want to be seen as “brave” for her body, but celebrated for her music. “I’m so much more than that. Because I actually present that, I have a whole career. It’s not a trend.”

5. She Wants Everyone to Feel “Blessed” and “Capable”

“I’m blessed, and I want you to know that you’re blessed. I want you to know that you woke up this morning, and that’s a blessing, I want you to know the sun is shining somewhere, that’s a blessing, and even if it’s raining, it’s cleansing you – it’s a blessing. I want you to know that whatever you’re going through, if it doesn’t feel good, that you will feel good again, and you have whatever it takes to feel good again,” she said during an Instagram video she posted after the Twitter situation. “You are capable. You deserve to feel good as hell, and you deserve to find that. And as proud as you are of me, I’m proud of you. I’m really proud of you – because life comes at you fast, and sometimes it can be so hard, but if I can make it, I know you can make it. We can make it together.”

6. She Prioritizes Self Care

“Self care is in the little moments — bathing, sweating, washing your hair.. it’s in laughing so hard you can barely catch a breath, your lungs expanding on a morning jog… now more than ever we need to enjoy the quiet within ourselves,” Lizzo said on Instagram.

7. She Wants Everyone to Feel “Good As Hell”

“Let me talk to y’all for a second,” Lizzo told fans at the 2019 MTV VMAs. “It’s so hard trying to love yourself in a world that doesn’t love you back, am I right?” she said. “So I want to take this opportunity right now to just feel good….. Because you deserve to feel good …. So tell me how you’re feeling?”

8. She Loves Her “Dimple” and “Stretch Marks”

“I’m doing this for myself. I love creating shapes with my body, and I love normalizing the dimples in my” backside “or the lumps in my thighs or my back fat or my stretch marks. … I think it’s beautiful,” she told Essence about loving her body.

9. She Chose to Accept Herself

“I don’t think that loving yourself is a choice. I think that it’s a decision that has to be made for survival; it was in my case,” she told NBC News. “Loving myself was the result of answering two things: Do you want to live? ‘Cause this is who you’re gonna be for the rest of your life. Or are you gonna just have a life of emptiness, self-hatred and self-loathing? And I chose to live, so I had to accept myself.”

10. She Believes Fitness Has No Clothing Size

“I want people to realise that fitness doesn’t have a look or an aesthetic or a weight. Fitness is a very personal thing that’s between you and your doctor,” she told Billboard. “To have a big black girl singing about how she’s working on the calisthenics – because mind you, I be in the gym everyday, but people don’t believe that … I think that it’s empowering for young girls, to see that it’s okay to work out and not have a six-pack.”
