From her singing to her dancing, there always seems to be something that she does wrong. However, the greatest criticism she has ever faced was back in 2018, when one comment on her performance video went viral and birthed one of the most popular memes of all time, Go Girl Give Us Nothing.

One (now deleted) comment on the video in particular went viral, I love her lack of energy, go girl give us nothing! from a YouTube user named Tobias. And thus, started the infamous Go Girl Give Us Nothing meme and fandoms across the world used the phrase to criticize others.
While Lipa in an interview with Vanity Fair had stated how it made her work harder, the singer in her recent interview with Rolling Stone revealed how hurtful all of it was.
“I did find that really hurtful, and I found it really painful because I was like, ‘I’m finally getting to do something that I love to do, and I’m being shut down, that I just can’t seem to do anything right.'”
The Grammy-winning artist also exclaimed how her schedule was extremely busy around that time, giving her no chance to perfect anything. While she was hurt by the meme then, Lipa recently gave a brilliant reply to her haters in her SNL monologue.
