Pop star Lizzo has sparked an uproar after she promised that America would look like Detroit if Kamala Harris was elected to the White House.
The singer, 36, who hails from Motor City, appeared alongside the Democratic presidential nominee at Western International High School in the city.
The star, real name Melissa Viviane Jefferson, said: 'I'm so proud to be from this city, you know they say if Kamala wins then the whole country will be like Detroit.
'Proud like Detroit, resilient like Detroit. The same Detroit that innovated the auto industry and the music industry. Put some respect on Detroit's name.'
Her comments have since been blasted on social media after users pointed out that the city has been in a state of decay and decline for decades.
One person wrote: 'Regardless of Lizzo's strenuous efforts to spin it, all that will be ringing in people's subconscious is: "Kamala will turn America into impoverished, run down, and unsafe, Detroit".'
Another added: 'If Kamala is elected the whole country Will look like Detroit. A decimated car industry. A top ten city in crime statistics.'
One other commented: 'So Lizzo just told us the entire country will go to hell just like Detroit if we vote for Kamala!'
After the clip was widely shared on X, another said: 'That was a Trump endorsement if I've ever had one. Lol.'
The singer burst into her song 'About Damn Time' during the event after those who gathered at the rally shouted out that they couldn't hear her.

It’s been a long time since Detroit amounted to anything possible. Motown Music, which started in 1959?

Lizzo is correct and 100% honest about what would happen.
We only disagree about whether that is desirable.

So she’s rallying in high school gymnasiums? LOL LOL! First time she's seen the inside of a gym?
And citing modern Detroit: "Being Burka Better". She's certainly an argument for them being adopted into fashion.
