American singer Bebe Rexha has revealed numerous designers have told her she is "too big" to dress for the Grammy Awards.
The songwriter, who has written for Selena Gomez and Eminem, posted a video on social media saying "a lot of designers... do not want to dress me because I'm too big".
Rexha, 29, has been nominated for the Grammy Awards on 10 February for Best New Artist, and also Best Country Duo/Group Performance for her song Meant to Be with Florida Georgia Line.
She said because she is a size six to eight (UK size 10-12), nobody would make her a dress, as is customary for nominees at awards ceremonies.
In the video she said: "So, I finally get nominated at the Grammys and it's the coolest thing ever.

"A lot of times artists will go and talk to designers and they'll make them custom dresses to walk the red carpet - they can go to any big designer.
"I had my team hit up a lot of designers and a lot of them do not want to dress me because I'm too big. Literally, I'm too big.
"And if a size six to eight is too big then I don't know what to tell you and I don't want to wear your f****** dresses.
"It's crazy, you're saying all the women in the world that are size eight and up are not beautiful and they cannot wear your dresses.
"So all the people who said I'm too big and I can't wear your dresses. F*** you, I don't want to wear your f****** dresses."
She added in the caption that it is okay if designers do not like her fashion style or music, but "don't say you can't dress someone that isn't a runway size".
"Empower women to love their bodies instead of making girls and women feel less then by their size," she wrote.
"We are beautiful any size! Small or large! Anddddd My size 8 ass is still going to the Grammys. #LOVEYOURBODY."
