In the post, Lizzo announced that she had left the music industry after being attacked by people in her life and online.

On a bright orange background, she 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.

“But, I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it.”

The performer continued, “I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout and 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 concluded her message, “I didn’t sign up for this s**t – I QUIT,” with a peace sign emoji.

The famous flute player has been in the music industry since 2011, but her career really took off after her song pop song Good As Hell was released in 2016.

Most recently, she found success when her song Pink was featured in the 2023 Barbie movie.

She was active in the entertainment industry as recently as Thursday night when she appeared at the Democratic National Committee’s Radio City Music Hall fundraiser.

Lizzo was one of the headliners at the event where she shared the stage with the last three Democratic presidents.

Critics said her presence at the event was a questionable choice because of the harassment allegations aimed at her last August, according to Daily News.

Her former dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez made several allegations including sexual, religious, and racial harassment, disability discrimination, assault, and false imprisonment against the singer and her production company Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc.

A civil lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, but nothing has been resolved as Lizzo denied all of the allegations.

LETTING THEM WIN

In the comment section of her social media message, Lizzo’s fans shared their thoughts about her announcement.

One said, “If you quit then they’ve succeeded.. music is your life path whether you believe or not.. stand firm and stay in the race.”

“Don’t listen to them. You’re beautiful and a bad a**,” added another.

A third wrote, “You are such an inspiration and powerful being! Don’t let people’s egos drag you down.

“Be here and continue doing your craft bc you already are making the world a better place!”

“Please don’t quit!!!! Screw those people, please don’t quit!!! What about those who are still fans?!,” asked a fan.

Lizzo does not have any tour dates or events on her calendar, and her last album Special was released in 2022.
