Update: Lizzo Clarifies ‘I Quit’ Post, Says ‘I Mean I Quit Giving Any Negative Energy Attention’

Update: (Apr. 2, 2024): Lizzo isn’t stepping away from music just yet.

Today (Apr. 2) the 4x Grammy Award winner clarified a post she made last week seemingly alluding she was stepping away from the music industry. In her newly shared video, she said,

“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.”

She continued,

“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.”

Original Story: (Mar 31, 2024): Lizzo is seemingly quitting music.

In a cryptic post on Instagram, the rapper and singer announced she’s had enough of critics. Lizzo wrote, 

“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.”

The “Truth Hurts” singer criticized the false narratives she claimed were being told about her.

“But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it. I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout and views.”

Lizzo is currently facing a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by three of her former dancers. The lawsuit alleged Lizzo created a hostile work environment and sexually harassed employees, which the singer has denied. She is also facing another lawsuit from another former employee who alleged that Lizzo allowed bullying, harassment, and racial discrimination on her team.

Also, in her Friday (March 29) statement on social media, the four-time Grammy winner went on to say she is tired of

“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 Yitty clothing brand owner concluded,

“I didn’t sign up for this sh*t — I QUIT.”

In the comments, celebrities like Paris Hilton and comedian Jackee Harry shared words of encouragement.

Paris Hilton wrote, 

“We love you Queen.”

Jackee Harry commented,

“Don’t do it, honey. We need you. We need your art.”

At this time, it’s unclear what Lizzo was referring to in the cryptic post.

Nevertheless, the 35-year-old’s statement came after participating in a fundraiser for President Joe Biden in New York City on Thursday (March 28). In addition to Lizzo, many other celebrities and former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were there.
