Lizzo has shared her frustration with “being dragged by everyone in my life”, insinuating that she may end up quitting music.The artist took to Instagram to say the level of hate was leading her to think that the world “doesn’t want” her in it.“I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet,” she wrote. “All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little bit better than how I found it.“But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it.

I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout and views… being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look..

my character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name.”She concluded: “I didn’t sign up for this – I QUIT.”A post shared by Lizzo (@lizzobeeating)The message comes after Lizzo’s request to dismiss her upcoming sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit was denied by a judge.Last August, the musician was accused of creating a hostile work environment and sexual harassment at a strip club in Amsterdam.

In response, Lizzo wrote that she was “hurt” and called the allegations “false”. Lawyers have since reviewed more complaints from other backup dancers, whilst Lizzo was named in a new lawsuit from a former hairstylist in September, which she further moved to dismiss.Now, an LA judge has ruled that the case will go ahead in its entirety towards a trial.
