Fans are in shock after American singer Lizzo, known for hits like “Truth Hurts” and “Juice,” announced her retirement from music in a lengthy Instagram post. The four-time Grammy winner expressed her frustration with constant online bullying and body shaming.
Lizzo, a vocal advocate for body positivity, stated she was tired of “being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look.” She went on to detail the toll of online negativity, including “lies being told about me for clout & views.“
The 35-year-old singer’s impactful career includes not only four Grammys but also a Billboard Music Award, a BET Award, and two Soul Train Music Awards. Her decision to step away from music leaves a significant void in the industry, particularly for those who resonated with her message of self-love and acceptance.
