Lizzo Admits She’s Weeping On The Floor Amid Album Struggles

July 03, 2026

Lizzo breaks down about the private pain behind her B#### album flop, but says she’s still declaring victory every day.

Lizzo broke down in a raw social media post this week revealing just how much pain she’s been hiding from fans. She’s struggling as her new album B#### flops commercially, and she’s not pretending otherwise anymore.

She laid it all out in one long, unfiltered stretch of the post. “I’m weeping on the floor, nobody knows what I’ve been going through privately. It’s been a roller coaster. Sometimes I feel like my hands are tied behind my back and life is whooping my ass. But I wake up every day and declare victory, even through the sleepless nights, even through the tears, even through my nervous system being so shot I can barely go through a day without physical pain. But I’ve been working my ass off grinding and praying and speaking to people who I love and loving them back.”

The vulnerable post landed less than a month after B#### quietly missed the Billboard 200 entirely, according to Rolling Stone. The album sold just 2,649 copies in its first week and dropped to 650 the next, a steep fall from 2022’s Special, which moved 69,000 units and landed at No. 2.

The disappointing rollout follows weeks of speculation about what’s really going on with her career right now. Industry insiders point to shifting streaming trends and lingering fallout from her 2023 lawsuit as possible factors.

Lizzo leaned hard on her faith to close things out, writing “I am truly blessed and covered and God is reminding me who I am and what He made me to do. No weapon formed against me will prosper, no vicious attacks from people who don’t even know me will stick. I will continue to glow and shine, because that’s what I do.”

She ended on a win, celebrating that “About Damn Time is my 2nd billionth streamed record” on Spotify. Lizzo also called the album’s rocky debut “soul-crushing” on the Swiftology podcast, according to Billboard.

Lizzo’s only scheduled show this summer lands July 7 at the Filene Center in Vienna, Virginia.
