Lizzo has reassured fans that she is not quitting music following a concerning Instagram post.
The singer, known for hits like About Damn Time, shared a video on her Instagram to clarify her previous statement of “I quit.”
Despite previous speculation that she was leaving the music industry, Lizzo, 35, explained that she simply meant she would no longer be affected by public criticism.
“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 explained in the new video.
“What I’m not going to quit is the joy of my life, which is making music and connecting to people. And I know I’m not alone. In no way, shape, or form am I the only person experiencing that negative voice that’s louder than the positive.”
She went on to declare she wanted to inspire others to ignore negative feedback.
“If I can just give one person the inspiration or motivation to stand up for themselves and say they quit letting negative people, negative comments win, then I’ve done even more than I could’ve hoped for,” Lizzo said.
“I’m going to keep moving forward and keep being me.”
