Lizzo has been flooded with praise from fans after opening up in an honest video shared on social media.
Taking to her official TikTok account on Sunday, May 9, a tearful Lizzo could be seen crying on camera as she admitted to feeling like a "burden" to others.
Speaking to her 15.3 million followers, the 32-year-old singer stated that she was experiencing a low mood and was struggling to remember that she was loved and appreciated.
Take a look at Lizzo's candid video here:In the video, Lizzo says: "You know that part of sadness where you feel like a burden on everyone and annoying and nobody cares about you? Can we get rid of that part?
"It's like: yo, I’m already sad. You gotta add insult to injury that I have no one to talk to about it. It's crazy. Like why do we feel this way? Why do we feel this way when we get sad?"
The singer's honest post picked up a lot of attention on social media, racking up over 1.6 million views, and 37,000 comments from her supportive fans.
One person wrote: "You ARE love my love. No embarrassment at all. You are everything and we all (together) love you and one another. I just am so grateful for you. [sic]"
Another fan added: "You are not a burden on anyone. The world is a better place because You are here. Feel free to reach out. [sic]"
While a third wrote: "Lizzo baby [...] Your feelings are valid and you are SO loved. People care so much. [sic]"
A doctor and therapist then chimed in: "Hi, therapist here who loves you and is always here to listen [...] Also thank you for normalizing sadness."
Model and influencer Remi Bader then stated: "Sobbing watching this. I know how you feel gf. You are a queen and sometimes the strongest people feel the loneliest. [It's] normal and okay."
While another chimed in: "Transparency. You are a lot more inspiring and relatable than you think. Read the room. You're loved [...] We love you!"
Fans couldn't help but shower the singer with loving words, as another added: "having emotions is NOT embarrassing! I don't know who made you feel that way, but you are allowed to feel things love. [sic]"
Before another added: "I haaaaate that feeling. And those of us who are 'strong' tend to suffer it in silence. I'm proud of you for voicing your feelings. [sic]"
Finally, one last person wrote: "Lizzo you don't understand how many situations you have helped me through. Keep your head up."
This isn't the first time the rapper has opening up about her mental health to her fans.
Last year, the 'Juice' singer informed her Instagram followers: "Money doesn’t buy you happiness. Fame only puts a magnifying glass on the s*** that you already have.
"And if that s*** is f***ed up, you’re just going to have even more magnified f***ed up s*** in situations where it doesn’t even seem valid or like you’re even supposed to feel that way so it f***s you up even more because you feel super f***ing ungrateful."
We can always count on Lizzo to keep it real and be honest.
