Lizzo (35) has contradicted interpretations that she was hinting at a withdrawal from the music business with the words "I quit". 

"When I say 'I quit', I mean I'm going to stop paying attention to negative energy. What I'm not going to stop is the joy of my life, which is making music, connecting people." 

Lizzo doesn't want to be pushed around anymore
She knows she is not the only person who often has to deal with negative comments.

A few days ago, the rapper and singer caused a stir with a post that ended with the words "I quit". She said she was fed up with being pushed around in her life and on the internet.

She constantly has to defend herself against lies that are told about her. In addition, people make fun of her because of her appearance.

Serious accusations against the singer
The artist, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, was confronted with accusations in the summer of 2023: Three dancers had filed a lawsuit against Lizzo in court in Los Angeles.

The working environment at Lizzo's concerts was characterized by an "over-sexualized atmosphere" and there had been incidents of discrimination and sexual harassment. Lizzo called these allegations false, outrageous and hurtful.
