Lizzo clarifies 'I quit' statement, reveals she'll continue to make music

Lizzo clarifies 'I quit' statement, reveals she'll continue to make music

Lizzo isn't quitting music.

She took to Instagram on Tuesday afternoon to clarify a statement she made to the platform just days before.

"When I say 'I quit,' I mean I quit giving any negative energy attention," she declared in a video post while donning a blue swimsuit from her new Yitty collection.

The "Rumors" singer then set the record straight on what she won't be quitting, her music.

"What I'm not going to quit, is the joy of my life, which is making music, which is connecting to people because I know I'm not alone," she declared. "In no way, shape or form am I the only person who is experiencing that negative voice that seems to be louder than the positive."

She went on to say that if she could give "one person the inspiration or motivation to stand up for themselves and say they quit letting negative people win, negative comments win," then she said she's "done even more" that she could've hoped for.

Moving forward she's going to keep feeling "Good as Hell" by staying true to herself.

"I'm going to keep being me," she said.

She then thanked her fans and followers for their support during this time.

"The love that I received means more than you know."

Four days earlier the singer posted a statement saying she "quit."

“I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet,” she wrote. “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 artist went on to say she is “constantly up against lies” being spread about her for “clout & 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. I didn’t sign up for this s—,” she wrote. “I QUIT.”

The statement came as she is facing accusations of sexual harassment and discrimination from several of her former backup dancers, who said she created “a hostile work environment through a wide range of legal wrongdoing, including not just sexual harassment but also religious and racial discrimination,” according to Billboard. 

Last month, a judge denied Lizzo’s request to toss the lawsuit, allowing the majority of the case to proceed to trial later this year.
