Lizzo Says “I Quit” Amid Legal Problems And Bad Press

Lizzo posted on Instagram on Friday (March 29th), “I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet. All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it. But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it.” She continued, “I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout & views, being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look… my character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name.”

Lizzo went on to say that she didn’t “sign up for this s**t,” adding, “I quit.” She clarified she’s not quitting music…just negativity.

 “What I’m not going to quit is the joy of my life which is making music and connecting to people.  In no way shape or form, am I the only person experiencing that negative voice that’s louder than the positive… If I can just give one person the inspiration or motivation to stand up for themselves and say they quit letting negative people, negative comments, win then I’ve done even more than I could’ve hoped for. I’m going to keep moving forward and keep being me.”

 Last June, she contemplated quitting music over body-shaming comments. And more recently, she’s been embroiled in a lawsuit from former backup dancers who claimed she created a hostile work environment involving sexual harassment among other allegations.
