Beyoncé made history as the cover star of Vogue's September issue [1]. Not only did she have full creative control over the highly coveted release, but she praised her postpartum body [2] in a way that has the internet screaming, canceling their gym memberships, and deeming today "FUPA Appreciation Day." When speaking about having a C-section and giving birth to twins Rumi and Sir in June 2017 [3], the 36-year-old superstar explained that the surgery changed her body, as well as changed what "self-love and self-care" meant to her.
"I embraced being curvier. I accepted what my body wanted to be. After six months, I started preparing for Coachella. I became vegan temporarily, gave up coffee, alcohol, and all fruit drinks. But I was patient with myself and enjoyed my fuller curves. My kids and husband did, too," she wrote. "To this day my arms, shoulders, breasts, and thighs are fuller. I have a little mommy pouch, and I'm in no rush to get rid of it. I think it's real. Whenever I'm ready to get a six-pack, I will go into beast zone and work my ass off until I have it."
She added, "But right now, my little FUPA and I feel like we are meant to be."
OK, just had to reread that a few times, but yes, Queen Bey did in fact shout out [4] her "fat upper pubic area" in Vogue, and we are so here for it. Still not quite sure what she's talking about? A FUPA is that pesky, hard-to-lose-area that stands out so prominently in a pair of jeans or even worse in a pair of leggings. And if my pouch just got Beyoncé's stamp of approval, I guess that means we're all freeing the FUPA [5]. Gone are the days of wearing long shirts to the gym or covering our FUPAs with sweatshirts — it's the only Beyoncé-approved merchandise I can afford, so I will be rocking it freely.
Beyoncé's comments about accepting the special parts of her body in the highly esteemed issue of Vogue [6] has fans and FUPA-fanatics alike freaking out. Read on to see all the hilarious tweets, and get ready to feel some type of way about your own FUPA.
