Lizzo announces that she “gives up” in a mysterious post on social media | Social media

Singer Lizzo says she “gives up” because she is tired of being attacked online. “I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it,” the artist wrote on Instagram this weekend, without clarifying whether her decision applies only to social media or also to the music industry. “I’m getting tired of being dragged by everyone in my life and on the Internet.”

It is not clear what motivated the singer’s publication of About damn time, but the statement came a day after the lawyer for Lizzo’s former dancers, Ron Zambrano, criticized the artist’s choice to perform at Joe Biden’s fundraiser in New York last Thursday. “All I want is to make music, make people happy and help the world be a little better than I found it,” Lizzo insisted.

The 35-year-old artist complains of being “constantly faced with lies”, which influence the public’s view of her. And she confesses to always feeling “the target of jokes” because of her appearance. “I didn’t sign up for this. I give up,” she finishes.

Since the mysterious publication, Lizzo did not publish again on Instagram and, contacted by several bodies of communication social media, including the BBC, the artist’s spokesperson declined to comment on the announcement.

In the comments of the statement, messages of support for Lizzo multiply. “We love you, queen”, she writes to socialitand Paris Hilton. And another user reminds him of the lyrics to one of her songs, Special: “’In case no one told you today: you are special. In case no one made you believe, you are special.’ Your own words.”

Lizzo, who is known for her message of self-love and body acceptance, has been involved in controversy over the last year, after former dancers accused her of sexual and moral harassment. Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez filed a lawsuit against the artist in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging that she forced them to touch a naked person at a party. They also accuse Lizzo of making false accusations and firing a member of her team for gaining weight.

The singer, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, has denied all accusations. “I don’t want to present myself as a victim, but I also know that I am not the villain that people and average they have been saying that I am, in the last few days”, he defended last August, when he labeled the stories “false” and as “unbelievable as they sound”.
