The “I Want Candy” singer, 29, fired off a series of tweets after his concert in Syracuse, New York, where he overheard fans making negative comments about his weight. He revealed last month that he was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia at the age of 19, saying the medical condition makes it difficult for him to eat.

“I’m entirely hurt by a so-called fan that I just encountered,” Carter wrote on Twitter on Thursday night. “She wasn’t realizing I was listening, she said I look like I have cancer. This is body shaming. You guys are bullying me. I’ve already addressed my medical issues. #bodyshaming.”

“I’ve literally had the hardest week of my life, my dad past [sic] away my late sisters birthday anniversary was June 6th & people #BodyShame me,” Aaron continued on Thursday.
