Lizzo announces that her 'gap year' is over!
Lizzo might have announced that she is taking a gap year in August, but the successful musician has been hard at work.
Two months ago, Lizzo announced that she would be taking a gap year.
In August, the singer posted a video of herself in a black bikini, standing in the rain, with the caption, "I'm taking a gap year & protecting my peace."
This week, Lizzo announced that she is back.
According to Rolling Stone, Lizzo said at the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit that she hasn't stopped working.
When asked about the announced break, she said: “‘Gap year’? Girl, who said ‘gap year’?"
Lizzo went on to discuss the projects she has been involved in, including her music and new clothing line.
"I launched my company Yitty in 2022 at the same time as my album, ‘Special’" she said.
"I may not be as public-facing — but I went straight to Yitty headquarters, and I’ve just been working, working, working," she added.
Lizzo added that her being out of the public eye did not mean she had stopped working.
"You may not see me, but I’ve been working.”
Lizzo, who has lost a lot of weight over the past months, clarified that her clothing brand is not for plus-size women.
“Yitty is not a plus size brand… Yitty is a brand created by a plus sized woman for Every Damn Body,” she captioned a video posted on IG.

Lizzo also spoke about some of the challenges she went through when she started in the entertainment industry.
"There weren't that many women in rap, so I had to endure this question thousands of times. ‘How do you feel about being a female rapper in a male-dominated industry?’” the singer said during the Most Powerful Women Summit in Laguna Niguel, California.
The 'Special' hitmaker said she would answer the question by expressing her desire to see more women coming on board.
“I started to resent that question, and I would answer, ‘You know what, my dream is that one day there are so many women that are dominating in the industry that you can fill an entire festival slot with just women.’ And that dream has come true,’” she said.
