Lizzo has said she is close to "quitting" music because of all the online abuse she receives about her weight.
In a series of tweets posted on Wednesday, the "Good As Hell" singer said the abuse is also making her "hate the world."
"I JUST logged on the app and this is the type of shit I see about me on a daily basis," Lizzo wrote, sharing a screenshot of a recent tweet about her weight.
The tweet Lizzo was referring to included a video of her performing, and read: "How is Lizzo still THIS fat when she's constantly moving this much on stage?! I wonder what she must be eating."
Lizzo wrote: "Then someone in the comments said I eat 'lots of fast food.'"
"I LITERALLY STOPPED EATING FAST FOOD YEARS AGO...," she added. "I'm tired of explaining myself all the time and I just wanna get on this app w/out seeing my name in some bullshit."
In a second tweet, Lizzo responded to another comment which read: "I don't think Lizzie wants to be smaller... yet... If she did, she would be. It's her brand."
The four-time Grammy award winner wrote: "This is what my body looks like even when I'm eating super clean and working out."
"Y'all speak on shit y'all know NOTHING ABOUT and I'm starting to get heated," she added.
In another tweet, the 35-year-old singer, who has now made her Twitter account private, wrote: "I HATE IT HERE. Y'all don't know how close I be to giving up on everyone and quitting and enjoying my money and my man on a FUCKING FARM."
Lizzo has long been an activist for social justice and inclusivity. Through her website, Lizzo Loves You, she promotes resources and charities supporting causes such as abortion access, LGBTQ rights, and anti-racism.
In March, she also partnered with Fabletics to create her inclusive shapewear line, Yitty.
Following the launch of Yitty, Lizzo sat down for an interview with The Cut, in which she spoke out about beauty standards.
"Just because you don't look like the majority of the people in the room doesn't mean you're not beautiful," she said.
The musician also urged people to adopt "body neutrality" instead of commenting on the way others look.
"If you see somebody who has body augmentation, mind your business. If you see somebody who's thin, mind your business. That's where I'm at," she said.
"I don't need you to praise or hate on my body. I just need you to shut up, mind your business, and mind your own body."
