Lizzo explained that her declaration last week that “I QUIT” has nothing to do with recording music.
The performer said she feels that the world doesn’t want her in it and that she’s “constantly up against lies” being spoken about her in a statement that she shared to her Instagram on Friday. She concluded the letter with the words “I didn’t sign up for this s*** — I QUIT.”
Lizzo posted a video Tuesday clarifying what she meant by her previous statement.
“I want to make this video because I just need to clarify, when I say ‘I quit,’ I mean I quit giving any negative energy attention. What I’m not gonna quit is the joy of my life, which is making music, which is connecting to people,” she said.
Lizzo went on to say she knows she’s not the only person “experiencing that negative voice that seems to be louder than the positive.”
“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’ve hoped for,” she said.
