If you're a Minnesotan, you know that Lizzo has been working hard for many, many years to obtain her success. But to others around the globe, they think she popped up out of nowhere.

Last night, Lizzo put the following statement on instagram:

"8 years of touring, of giving out free tix to my undersold shows, sleepless nights in my car, losing my dad and giving up on music, playing shows for free beer and food with $32 in my bank account, constantly writing songs, hearing 'no' but always saying yes. Glad I never gave up. This is what 'overnight success' looks like. Don't give up. Your moment is waiting for you."
