“I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the Internet,” Lizzo explained in the post. “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. I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout & views… being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look… my character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name. I didn’t sign up for this s— — I QUIT [peace out emoji].” Check out Lizzo's statement featuring a comment from Latto below.
