American rapper and singer, Lizzo, aged 35, shocked fans with a recent Instagram post announcing her departure from the music industry.
The singer expressed exhaustion from enduring constant criticism about her appearance and being subjected to public scrutiny. She stated her desire to focus on making music and spreading joy but lamented feeling unwanted and misrepresented in the world.
Highlighting the challenges of dealing with false narratives and disrespect, Lizzo declared her resignation, stating she had not signed up for such treatment.
Following allegations of sexual harassment towards her backup dancers last year, Lizzo has maintained a low profile, making her first public appearance at the Grammy Awards last month.
Amidst ongoing legal issues, including lawsuits from some of her backup dancers, Lizzo’s decision to step away from the music scene reflects her frustration with the industry’s treatment of her.
