Singer Bebe Rexha had the last laugh when a troll poked fun of her body on Twitter by proudly admitting she has gained weight.

The Meant to Be hitmaker was praised for sharing an unedited bikini photo of herself online last Friday, while posing on a beach in San Juan, Puerto Rico - but not everyone was complimentary.

One critic, who was far from impressed by her figure, captioned a video clip featuring Bebe performing onstage: "okay dont mean to disrespect but aint too thiccccck!?? (sic) i mean never saw her like that BEFORE!!"

Bebe, who has never been afraid to confront body-shamers or speak up about her curves, quickly replied to the nasty comment.

"I gained weight get over it," she hit back at the Twitter hater.

The 29-year-old's recent bikini picture was captioned with an empowering message about body positivity.

“I probably should of photoshopped my stomach and made it look flat,” the singer wrote. “I probably should of photoshopped my legs to make them look thinner. I probably should of made myself look taller and Smoothed my legs. But I didn’t. Society can really f**k with you. Here is what a real woman looks like on Instagram without photoshop.”

Among the thousands to share their appreciation was former Fifth Harmony singer Lauren Jauregui, who gushed: “A REAL WOMAN W BAWDY (clapping emoji).”

The viral image also emerged shortly after the singer laughed off "funny" rumors suggesting she had undergone plastic surgery to improve her looks.

"I've never had my butt done. I've never had my nose done," she told Health magazine.
