(CNN) — Lizzo would like to issue a clarification.
Last week, the singer caused a stir among her loyal social media followers after she posted a statement to her Instagram page in which she said she was “tired” of the criticism often directed her way “by everyone in my life and on the internet.” She ended saying, “I quit.”
The post spurred speculation that Lizzo was done with her music career, but the “About Damn Time” singer now says her statement was misinterpreted.
She has spoken out in the past about cruel comments she’s received online.
In June, the singer spoke out about the body shaming she faces on social media in a series of Tweets posted to her X page, and in 2020, she quit X altogether writing that she’s encountered “too many trolls.”
For now, Lizzo said in her most recent video, “I’m going to keep moving forward.”
Lizzo’s recent comments come as the singer is in an ongoing legal battle with three former dancers, who claimed in a lawsuit filed in August 2023 that they were subjected to a hostile work environment and harassment while they were members of the Grammy-winner’s dance team.
In a statement at the time, Lizzo denied the allegations and said, in part, “I am not the villain that people in the media have portrayed me to be these last few days.”
