Postmates soon responded to the musician, apologizing for her “less than satisfactory experience” using the service, and asked her to direct message them with more information.
Lizzo seemingly got in touch with the delivery service, as sheresponded, “I dm’d u.”
Though some fans took Lizzo’s side,saying“Postmates do better!”, other Twitter users expressed their disappointment that she chose to share her complaint publicly.
“Publicly shaming someone in the service industry (esp. when you’re wealthy) is worse than stealing food,” one usertweeted, while anotheradded, “This is ridiculous Lizzo, u could have dealt with that privately instead of shaming a woman who was probably hungry… It’s only food u can reorder it.”
In a statement to PEOPLE, Postmates said: “As soon as Lizzo reached out, we looked into the matter and quickly resolved the issue. We apologize to Lizzo for any inconvenience.”

Despite her many successes, the breakout artist — born Melissa Jefferson — has said shewasn’t always so confidentabout her talents or communicating her feelings.
In arecent interview withELLE, Lizzo revealed that her “songs feel happy, but they come from a sad or frustrated place” and that she wasn’t always comfortable sharing such personal stories. She added that it has been “revolutionary” learning to communicate her feelings through songs like “Truth Hurts,” which recently earned her spot at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
“Being in those places is inevitable for me; I’m going to end up there again,” she admitted. “But the fact that I’m prepared now to go to those places—and I have a toolbox, and I know I can pull myself out — is really helpful to me in my mental health journey.”
