Fans recently expressed concern after Lizzo posted a message to social media that made it sound like she wanted to "quit" making music. According to Variety, the GRAMMY-winning artist has no plans to put an end to her extensive music career just yet. She posted a video to Instagram a few days after the first message was shared, shedding light on what she actually meant when she said "i quit."
In the initial message, the illustrious songstress relayed that she was: “getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet.” All she really wants to do is "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.” The "Good as Hell" standout took to social media to explain exactly what she meant in the above message, assuring fans that she would not be quitting anytime soon.
“I wanted to make this video because I just need to clarify when I say ‘I quit,’ I mean I quit giving any negative energy attention. What I’m not going to quit is the joy of my life, which is making music and connecting to people. And I know I’m not alone. In no way shape or form am I the only person experiencing that negative voice that’s louder than the positive.”
