She was so encouraging to every one of her dancers and guest she had," she wrote.
The 30-year-old drag performer continued, "She really made me feel so special to be apart of her team and we had so many different types of queens. From different sizes to different culture backgrounds and every one of us felt loved and supported being on tour with her. Please don't let this define you Lizzo. I will never forget how special you made us feel working with you."
Kahanna went on gushing about Lizzo, "She truly was so uplifting and loving to every single person on her tour. Stay strong @lizzobeeating & know the real ones will always support you. You really changed me working with you. Your humility, love, and support to everyone on tour was so inspiring."

Lizzo responded to the sexual harassment lawsuit on early Thursday, August 3. The "Truth Hurts" hitmaker wrote in a statement shared on Instagram, "These last few days have been gut wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing. My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned. My character has been criticized."
"Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed," she added. "These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional."
