Grammy-winning artist Lizzo has addressed speculation surrounding her recent weight loss, after debuting a slimmer figure on social media. Following her posts on Instagram in mid-September, some fans questioned whether she had used the diabetes medication Ozempic, often linked to weight loss. One user went as far as asking if she had used the drug or "snorted coke" to shed pounds. Lizzo, never one to shy away from criticism, responded directly to the comment with, "Whyyyy do u follow me?" accompanied by crying emojis. On September 20, she further mocked the accusations by sharing a screenshot of the comment on Instagram, captioned, "oZeMpIc oR cOkE?" She followed this up with a video of herself lip-syncing to a popular TikTok sound bite, sarcastically celebrating the weight loss allegations.
Emphasizing her hard work, Lizzo revealed that her transformation was the result of five months of weight training and maintaining a calorie
deficit. To underscore this point, she posted a montage of her intense gym sessions, tagging her trainer Corey Calliet, who also works with
stars like Michael B. Jordan.
Despite the rumors and critiques, the “Truth Hurts” singer remains a strong advocate of body positivity. In another post, she shared a video of herself modeling items from her Yitty shapewear line, declaring, "Fine both ways," along with a nod to Nicki Minaj’s empowering quote: “The fact that you would even discuss my looks is insane.”
Through her humor and honesty, Lizzo continues to embrace her body, demonstrating that even amid weight loss, she stands firm in her message
of self-love and body acceptance.
