The US musician Lizzo has announced her retirement. The 35-year-old rapper, singer and flute player explained that she was tired of being pushed around in her life and on the Internet. “All I want is to make music,” she wrote. But she constantly has to defend herself against lies that are told about her. In addition, people make fun of her because of her appearance. However, the artist is confronted with accusations herself. Three dancers had filed a lawsuit against Lizzo. It was about discrimination and sexual harassment. “These inflated stories come from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior was inappropriate.” Lizzo wrote that she takes nothing more seriously than respect for women. The allegations hurt her.
