Did Lizzo Just Announce She’s Quitting The Music Biz?

Lizzo has announced her departure from the music industry.

Following what has been a tumultuous year of facing allegations from her former backup dancers, the singer expressed her disappointment with public opinion about her and emphatically stated, "I QUIT."

Lizzo took to social media to express her frustration with constantly getting called out over the simplest things. The 35-year-old, who has known no peace since she was accused of sexual harassment last year, began:

"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."

She claimed that she is “starting to feel like the world doesn't want me in it” due to her being "constantly up against lies being told about me for clout & views…"

It also did not help that people had resorted to making  endless fun of her because of her weight while picking her character apart, especially by “people who don't know me.”

The hitmaker wrapped up the surprise message, alongside the peace sign by writing, "I didn't sign up for this shit, I QUIT."

Within minutes of Lizzo making the announcement via Instagram, her fans trooped into the comment section to plead with her not to give up what she loves.

"Take a break but DO NOT quit!! Never give people this much power over you. If you let them win now they will continue to do it. You got this Lizzo, sending love," one fan commented.

A second fan similarly adviced, "Don't quit, just give it a minute. Take a break. Don't quit," as a third emphasized, "Man FK them!!!!! I was telling the same, the only decision is to say F them," and a fourth reiterated:

"Noooooo!! @lizzobeeating you are beautiful & talented & funny & kind. It must be truly devastating sometimes to be scrutinized under a microscope as a celebrity. Take a break from what you can but please don't quit!"

At the same time, other fans simply expressed their love for Lizzo, with one exclaiming, "We love you Lizzo!!!! You are so loved. Just ignore them. They mean nothing," and another chiming in, "You are loved."
