Lido Pimienta has said that she will only release one more album and cease touring due to the racism she has experienced in airports.
In a Twitter thread posted on Monday (April 3), she detailed the discrimination she has faced when dealing with airlines. In a tweet originally written in Spanish and translated here, she wrote, "One last record and that's it. No more tours. I think I'm still happier using my talents for other people and artists than if they're relevant. I like behind-the-scenes — I'm safe there."
She further explained, "One of the many reasons why I no longer want to go on tour and not be in music is the constant discrimination at airports and airlines."

Un último disco y ya. No más giras.

Creo que igual soy mas feliz usando mis talentos para otras personas y artistas que si son relevantes. Me gusta el detrás de escena, estoy segura ahí.
Merezco ser feliz y vivir en paz.
Ya no quiero sentir esto tan feo.

Pimienta's most recent album is 2020's Miss Colombia. Last year, she created and starred in the variety show LIDO TV.
