In a shocking turn of events, Grammy-winning artist Lizzo has taken to social media to announce her departure from the music industry. The decision comes just one day after headlining a Democratic National Committee fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Expressing her frustration on Instagram, the "Good as Hell" singer revealed that she is tired of being constantly dragged by people in her life and on the internet. Lizzo stated her desire to make music, spread happiness, and make the world a better place, but expressed feeling unwanted by the world.

One of the issues that Lizzo has been confronting is the proliferation of lies and rumors surrounding her. She feels that her appearance has made her the target of constant jokes and her character has been unfairly picked apart by people who don't know her. In her Instagram post, Lizzo declared, "I QUIT."

This troubling announcement comes amidst accusations of sexual harassment and discrimination made by several of her former backup dancers. Billboard reported that these dancers alleged Lizzo had created a hostile work environment through various illegal actions, including sexual harassment, as well as religious and racial discrimination.

Among the allegations levied against Lizzo, the women claim that they were forced to attend explicit shows and engage in uncomfortable activities, such as being made to eat a banana protruding from a woman's vagina. Last month, a judge denied Lizzo's request to dismiss the lawsuit, meaning the majority of the case will proceed to trial later this year.

The news of Lizzo's departure from the music industry has left fans and music enthusiasts shocked and saddened. The artist, known for her empowering and infectious tunes, has touched the lives of many with her positive messages and self-love advocacy.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Lizzo and her career. As the legal battle continues, it is uncertain how this controversy will impact her reputation and artistic endeavors. Whether this is a temporary hiatus or a permanent departure, Lizzo's fans and followers eagerly await further updates on her next steps in the ever-evolving music industry.
