Lizzo wants to set the record straight: she’s not quitting music.
After her recent statement sparked speculation that she might be stepping away from the music industry, the 35-year-old artist took to social media to provide some much-needed clarification.
In a new video shared on Tuesday (April 2), Lizzo addressed the misunderstanding, emphasizing that her declaration of “I quit” was not about leaving music behind but rather about refusing to give in to negativity.
“When I say ‘I quit,’ I mean, I quit giving any negative energy attention,” Lizzo explained. “What I’m not gonna quit is the joy of my life, which is making music…which is connecting to people.”
For Lizzo, music isn’t just a career—it’s her passion, her purpose, and her way of spreading joy and positivity to her fans. Despite facing criticism and negativity, she remains committed to sharing her art and uplifting others through her music.
“I know I’m not alone,” Lizzo added. “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.”
By addressing her own struggles with negativity, Lizzo hopes to inspire others to stand up for themselves and refuse to let negativity dictate their lives.
“If I can just give one person the inspiration or motivation to stand up for themselves and say they quit letting negative people win, negative comments win, then I’ve done even more than I could have hoped for,” she said.
Lizzo expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love and support she’s received from her fans, emphasizing that their encouragement means the world to her.
“The love that I’ve received…means more than you know,” she concluded.
With her message of resilience and self-empowerment, Lizzo reminds us all of the importance of staying true to ourselves and refusing to let negativity dim our light. As she continues to spread love and positivity through her music, her fans can rest assured that Lizzo isn’t going anywhere. She’s here to stay, and she’s ready to keep moving forward, spreading joy one song at a time.
