Lizzo, the singer-songwriter who has been in the music industry for over a decade, announced on Instagram that she is considering quitting due to constant online criticism. Although she did not specify what exactly she was quitting, she expressed feeling tired of being dragged online and feeling like the world doesn’t want her in it.
Lizzo’s decision to perform at a Biden campaign event has led to increased criticism and fatphobia directed at her. Some questioned her support for the President amid various controversies, while others accused her of being fatphobic herself. The singer has faced backlash in the past over allegations of body-shaming and sexual harassment made against her by her backup dancers in a lawsuit filed in August of last year. Lizzo refuted these claims and called them false.
Despite the negative comments, Lizzo remains committed to making a positive impact on the world through her music. In 2021, she spoke out against fatphobic and racist comments made about her appearance when she released her song “Rumors”. Paris Hilton and rapper Killer Mike showed support for Lizzo in the comments section of her recent post, with Hilton expressing admiration for her confidence and Killer Mike praising her work ethic.
It is unclear if Lizzo will actually follow through with quitting or if this was simply an expression of frustration. However, one thing is certain – Lizzo will continue to make music that makes people happy and helps make the world a better place.
