Despite her previous statement in March, US pop sensation Lizzo reassured her fans on Tuesday, April 2, 2024 that she has no plans to step away from the music scene.
Last week, the artist who won a Grammy Award caused a stir after revealing her decision to “quit”. This declaration led to much speculation about whether she would be leaving the entertainment industry.
“When I say I quit, I mean I quit giving any negative energy attention.”
This statement was made in light of the overwhelming amount of negative scrutiny she has faced regarding her looks and personality on the internet, which was further intensified by accusations of body shaming one of her dancers. She has refuted these allegations.
Lizzo sets the record straight on what she meant by ‘quitting’
On March 29, Lizzo shared a post on Instagram that she had uploaded earlier. The post read:
“I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout & views.”
The conclusion of her post read as follows:
“My character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name. I didn’t sign up for this sh*t. I QUIT.”
Through her Instagram post, she highlights her determination to remain focused on the positives in her career and life.
According to her,
“What I’m not gonna quit is the joy of my life, which is making music, which is connecting to people, because I know I’m not alone.”
Continuing on, she said:
“I know I’m not alone. In no way, shape, or form am I the only person who is experiencing the negative voices that seem to be 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 win, negative comments win. then I’ve done even more than I could have hoped for … I’m going to keep moving forward, I’m gonna keep being me.”
After thanking her fans, she ended the video by saying:
“Thank you for the love that I receive.”
