Lizzo Clarifies She’s Not Quitting Music, Just ‘Negative Energy’

Lizzo clarified her 'I Quit' post on Instagram last week, saying she meant 'negative energy,' not music.

In a video shared on social media Tuesday, April 2, the musician — who’s currentlyfacing sexual harassment and hostile workplace environment allegations — said: “What I’m not gonna quit is the joy of my life, which is making music, which is connecting to people. In the original post, Lizzo said she was “tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet.” While she did not specifically mention the harassment and misconduct lawsuit filed last year by three of her former dancers, she did say, “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.” Lizzo has denied the accusations, previously issuing a statement that read: “I am not here to be looked at as a victim, but I also know that I am not the villain that people and the media have portrayed me to be these last few days.
