“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,” Lizzo wrote in her social media post.
The 35-year-old said she was “constantly up against lies” which she said were being told for “clout and views”.
She added that she feels like she is the “the butt of the joke every single time” and is being “picked apart” by people who have never met her.
“I didn’t sign up for this,” she said. “I quit.”
Lizzo is well-known in the music industry for her body positivity and self-love. She has hit back at comments about her appearance in the past.
Last year, Lizzo was targeted by speculation about her diet and whether she eats a lot of fast food, which she described as body shaming.
“Y’all don’t know how close I am to giving up on everyone and quitting,” she commented at the time.
Allegations
Lizzo and her production company were sued last August by ex-dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez, who accused her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.
The singer said that the claims were “false” and as “unbelievable as they sound”.
