Lizzo called out her critics.
The musician, 35, shared a lengthy statement on her Instagram page on Friday in which she said she was “tired of putting up with everyone pulling her down in my life and on the internet.”
“All I want to do is make music and make people happy and help make the world a little better than how I found it,” the Grammy winner continued. “But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it. I’m constantly pushing back against the lies being told about me because of my influence and looks… I’m the subject of jokes every time because of how I look.”
Lizzo added that her character was “torn apart by people who don’t know me and [are] disrespecting my name.”

She ended her message by writing, “I didn’t sign up for this s–t – I QUIT ✌🏾.”
PEOPLE has reached out to Lizzo’s rep for comment.
Although the singer did not reveal what prompted her to make that statement, some of the comments on the post were filled with encouraging messages from her colleagues.
Latto wrote: “Ppl need you Lizzo. I remember you made me keep going when I wanted to give up before. Your soul is SO pure f— these ppl who don’t know you! TEAM LIZZO 4L.” Loni Love commented: “Girl don’t let them win..stay off the internet..give a hug man..keep working.”
The post was shared nearly two months after the singer’s attempt to dismiss a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against her by three of her former dancers was rejected.
Last November, the singer was honest with her fans, explaining in an Instagram post that she was taking time to focus on herself.

“Hi. I’m working… on music, myself, relationships with people and food, my anxiety, my body, my work and my trust issues in the world… but now they’re deep, deeper than ever. Xoxo,” she wrote Lizza.
At the start of the new year, she revealed her new curvaceous figure in an Instagram video as she modeled leggings and sports bras from her brand Yitty’s.
“This year we’re putting ourselves first, you people. You don’t have to wait to feel like the best version of you. New year, new me,” Lizzo said in the clip.
On Sunday, she asked her fans to “give me a little more time” before releasing new music.
