Azealia Banks took to Instagram and offered Lizzo an unfiltered word of advice after the “Special” singer announced she’s “quitting” because she’s tired of the criticism and disrespect she’s received.
In case you missed it, Lizzo posted the following statement via Instagram on Friday (March 29):
I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet.
All I wanted is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little 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 & 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.
I didn’t sign up for this s—
I QUIT ✌🏾

Azealia Banks entered the chat and offered Lizzo an unfiltered word wrapped in constructive criticism.
She wrote:
I took back my criticism of you because it definitely clicked in my mind that I definitely wasn’t getting my point about the ways in which insidious people in corporate culture where positioning you to push demeaning initiatives, but sis…your handle is “Lizzo be eating,”…
You’ve definitely given the public license to laugh at and with you by twerking at the Burger King counter and bathing in a tub of Skittles…
Self deprecation was certainly the aesthetic you chose to introduce yourself with.
So, I don’t see why you’d play victim rather than just stop internally inviting people to make jokes about that.
You’re a beautiful girl, with a hand on music theory, Grammy Awards and tons of success, just change the narrative and go high brow philharmonic on these h— and collab with Ryuchi Sakamoto. 🖤

Okaaaay! Azealia Banks offering Lizzo constructive criticism and advice was not on my 2024 Bingo Card, but I welcome it.
