Lizzo Sets the Record Straight: Not Quitting Music Despite ‘I Quit’ Comments
US pop star Lizzo has provided clarity regarding her recent statement about quitting the music industry, reassuring her fans that she’s not stepping away from her career.
Last week, the Grammy Award-winning singer caused a stir among fans with an Instagram post expressing feeling overwhelmed by online criticism and negativity. In the post, Lizzo mentioned being “dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet,” concluding with the declaration, “I didn’t sign up for this shit. I quit.”

This sparked significant speculation online, with many believing that Lizzo was stepping away from making music and leaving the music industry altogether.
Lizzo’s Response
However, in a subsequent video shared on social media, the 35-year-old clarified that she meant she was “quitting giving any negative energy attention,” rather than quitting singing or songwriting. She emphasized her passion for making music and connecting with people, expressing her desire to inspire others to stand up against negativity.

Lizzo extended her gratitude to her fans for their unwavering support, acknowledging that their love “means more than you know.” The singer’s explanation arrives amidst continued legal disputes, notably a lawsuit initiated last August by former dancers alleging instances of sexual harassment and the creation of a hostile work atmosphere.
