Starting point is 00:00:03 I want to start off by saying analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. Now, Lizzo Be Eating. The Instagram account posted this for the world to see. I'm getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet, period. All I want 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 and views. being the butt
Starting point is 00:01:00 of the joke every single time because of how I look I can't keep somebody in the comments in all caps said we don't care I'm not
Starting point is 00:01:21 yo this is her Instagram why are they so mean I hold on I got to finish I got to finish my character being picked apart by people who don't know me and disrespecting my name.
Starting point is 00:01:38 I didn't sign up for this expedive. I quit. Peace-eyed emoji. Now why y'all do that to Lizzo, man? Like, honestly, why in the world would y'all lead her to the point that she posts to her Lizzo be eating IG account
Starting point is 00:01:59 saying that she is quitting simply for her being tired of criticism? now the i quit statement obviously is to explain why she doesn't want any negative attention throwing her direction but the i quit is not because of music which she ended up clarifying in the upcoming or no in the uh in a subsequent video here we go right here welcome to my yitty hall Uh-oh, wrong one, wrong one is this one. I want to make this video because I just need to clarify. When I say I quit, I mean, I quit giving any negative energy attention.
Starting point is 00:02:54 What I'm not going to quit is the joy of my life, which is making music, which is connecting to people. Talk to him. Talk to him. Preach. In no way, shape or form. Talk to him, pastor. Am I the only person. who is experiencing that negative voice
Starting point is 00:03:10 that seems to be louder than the positive. If I can just give one person the inspiration or motivation to stand up for themselves and say they quit letting negative people win, negative comments win, then I've done even more than I could have hoped for. With that being said, I'm going to keep moving forward
Starting point is 00:03:38 I'm going to keep in me once again I just want to say thank you the love that I've received who means more than you know I want to make this video because I just need All right so basically that's Lizzo
Starting point is 00:03:55 coming back to let y'all know that she's not talking about her quitting music it was just all of that attention she was giving negative energy she's quitting that aspect so well she's quitting in that aspect so i just want y'all know there's a lawsuit that you can look up for yourself but i'm not going to say that's why this whole fiasco is going about but there is a prominent lawyer on the case for a lot of lizzo's dancers that you can look up for yourself i would give it to you but honestly it's pretty straightforward and why lizzo will take this
Starting point is 00:04:33 approach because basically three of her dancers filed a lawsuit claiming alleged sexual harassment weight shaming. I'll let y'all get the gravity of Lizzo weight shaming. Racial discrimination and creating a hostile work environment. Lizzo has of course denied the allegations, but guess what? In February, a judge shut down Lizzo's request to drop the case. case, though some allegations were dismissed, including one dancer's claims of fat shaming. And then in the update, of course, with nearly half his case dismissed 18 independent witnesses, siding with Lizzo and no settlement on the way to get him his tasty contingency fee, Ron has started making wild personal attacks that have absolutely nothing to do with the
Starting point is 00:05:37 who he is supposedly representing. We would humbly recommend that Ron start representing his clients and stop representing just himself. Goodness. So it seems like they line on Lizzo. From my personal perspective, that's what I'm giving you. That is why I say this whole I quit is tied to that because the whole giving energy to negative, well, no, the whole giving attention to negative energy is the thing that Lizzo was quitting but as far as music of course she is not quitting like literally she is the only person as of
Starting point is 00:06:13 march march 30th 2024 when you know i call myself analytic dreams so we have to analyze these dream like numbers so as far as march 30th 2024 in the billboard hot 100 carty b and lizzo are the only female rappers i know lizzo sings but she also rap sometimes Only female rappers to have two solo number one hits. Solo, not attached to anybody. Two solo number one hits on the Billboard Top 100. Cardi B is being Bodak Yellow and Truth Hurts. And then, no, Cardi B's being Bodak Yellow, Lizzo's being Truth Hurts.
Starting point is 00:07:00 And then the other one for Cardi B being up. And the other one for Lizzo being about expit of time. So, and, you know, it's PG podcast. so I can't say the other part. Anyways, that is why I would think it would be blasphemous for Lizzo to quit because obviously she's seen the highest, and I mean the highest level of success as being a musician. I would say that being number one,
Starting point is 00:07:30 especially with a hit that's long-lasting at least six to ten weeks in the top five, is way more impactful than having a Grammy. And I will stand on that because having a number one for a long period of time, of course, what Megan the Stallion did with Hiss is remarkable, but it completely eviscerated off the charts after like two to three weeks. So with that being said, five to ten weeks, I think it's the litmus scale to see if it's a real actual hit. Things come and go even in the gaming space. I know people don't game, but for my gamers,
Starting point is 00:08:08 out there who may be listening to this Lizzo coverage this is for you so the way that power whirl came up and just blew all the records out of the water as far as a 24-hour peak concurrent players if you look at it today it has currently 66,000 players when it hit the peak of 2.4 million actually let me see if it was 2.4 basically i'm not going to look up the exact number basically it was second behind uh pub g battleground as far as having the highest concurrent players ever and that was in the two to three millions now currently remember the game just came out not too long ago it has 66,000 people playing the game so that should just let you know on both industries something can be extremely successful out the gate but it does not mean it's going to
Starting point is 00:08:57 have that longevity in the top five so anyways uh that's basically it i just wanted to get into the uh the just the overall event of lizzo quitting and and what that quitting was about, which we now know it was basically her not giving more attention to negative energy. And now she just can focus on music. With that being said, click my link to your my bio. Let me know one of my social media's. What do you think about Lizzo's legal battles with former dancers? And also, whose side are you on with this whole lawsuit fiasco?
