Lizzo Walks Back 'I Quit' Post, Claims It Wasn't About Music

“I wanted to make this video because I just need to clarify when I say ‘I quit,’ I mean I quit giving any negative energy attention,” she said in a new Instagram video.

Lizzo is now clarifying a cryptic Instagram post in which she said “I QUIT!” She said that it wasn’t referring to music when she posted it on Friday.

In the post, which came one day after she performed at a fundraiser for President Joe Biden, the singer said she was tired of “being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet.”

Lizzo also said that she just wants to “make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it” but that she’s “starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it.”

She also said she was sick of “being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look” and of having her character “picked apart by people” who don’t know her.

Lizzo finished the post by saying, “I didn’t sign up for this shit — I QUIT,” a comment that led to a lot of speculation over the meaning of the message.
