Both Beyoncé and rapper Lizzo decided to remove the word from their lyrics, a derogatory reference for a form of cerebral palsy.
Beyoncé is removing an offensive term for disabled people from a new song on her record "Renaissance," just weeks after rapper Lizzo also changed lyrics to remove the same word.
"The word, not used intentionally in a harmful way, will be replaced," a spokeswoman for Beyoncé wrote in a statement to The Associated Press on Monday.
