Singer and body positivity advocate Bebe Rexha has gone viral after posting a TikTok video discussing her weight.

In the video, the 31-year-old "Sabotage" singer modelled a navy blue lingerie set from her new capsule collection with underwear brand Adore Me, which describes itself as the first lingerie brand to offer extended sizing across all products.

As she danced to Nicki Minaj's "Good Form," a caption flashed across the screen saying: "How much do you think I weigh?"

Then Rexha added in a further caption which read, "No ones business. Cause I'm a bad b—- no matter what my weight."

"But let's normalize 165 lbs," she wrote in the closing moments of the video, suggesting that was her weight.

The TikTok, which was posted on Tuesday, has already amassed nearly 10 million views and over 1 million likes. It was captioned: "Feeling like a bad b---- today."

Throughout her career, Rexha has championed body positivity. She previously opened up on Instagram about how she felt the urge to retouch a bikini photo but ultimately decided to post the picture unedited. "Society can really f--- with you," she wrote. "Here is what a real woman looks like on Instagram without photoshop."

She also revealed in 2019 that designers at the Grammys refused to dress her because she was a US size 8. In an interview with Insider at the time, she said: "I was just shocked that I felt that I was being made to feel like there was something wrong with me because I didn't fit into a gown."

"If they didn't like my music or what I stood for or who I was or my messaging, that's one thing," she added. "But to judge me on my size is insane to me."
