Lizzo Says She’s Taking A Break From Twitter Because There Are ‘Too Many Trolls’

After Lizzo’s 2016 track “Truth Hurts” went viral in 2019, the singer took on the role as pop music’s resident confidence booster. Seemingly everyone aspired to go through life with the same conviction that Lizzo had while belting her hits in her Tiny Desk performance. But, unfortunately, with fame also comes trolls. And Lizzo started the new year plagued by trolls. So much so, the pop singer announced she is going to take an indefinite break from Twitter.

Before deciding to take a hiatus from the social media platform, Lizzo hinted that online negativity was getting to her. “‘I been gettin to the money, errbody mad’ becomes more and more relatable each day,” she wrote in one tweet. The singer then went on to ask the internet to “do better.” “Your opinion does not make you a bad person,” she wrote. “It’s your actions that matter. Do better isn’t an insult, it’s a plea. We need betterment more than anything.

And while many fans have expressed their gratitude for the singer’s inspiring music, Lizzo wrote that she never feels as though she’s doing enough to help.

Finally, the singer announced she was calling it quits, saying the social media platform has “too many trolls.” While she never specified the exact reason for taking a Twitter hiatus, the singer said she’ll return when she “feels like it.”

This isn’t the first time the singer has learned the impact Twitter has the hard way. Back in September, Lizzo received backlash over a tweet she sent about a food delivery driver. Lizzo later apologized, saying she realizes she has a big following and needs to think about that every time she sends a tweet.
