In an Instagram post that she subsequently deleted, Lizzo wrote:

"Got strep at the worst time ever. It's nobody's business but I'd prefer y'all not criticize me for wearing a face mask and doing what I was supposed to do to protect the people in my home.

"Please check yourself before you become an internet bully because you're bored. Get your facts straight.

The world needs less trolls and more compassion," the singer added, according to a section of the media.
