Lizzo has words
The singer expressed frustration over the ongoing speculation, highlighting how conversations about weight loss often overshadow hard work and personal dedication. She noted that focusing on body positivity and health should be the priority, rather than attributing changes to pharmaceutical aids.
The four-time Grammy winner, 36, responded to an Instagram follower on Friday, Sept. 20, who questioned if she was taking Ozempic — the FDA-approved prescription medication for people with type 2 diabetes — in an effort to lose weight.
In a carousel post, Lizzo included a video of herself smiling for the camera, alongside a cheeky caption.
"When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit," she captioned the clip, soundtracked by a popular TikTok audio of Christoph Waltz's character in 'Django Unchained' saying, "It's like a reward."
The "Juice" singer then shared a screenshot of an Instagram comment from one of her followers who asked, "Did she use Ozempic or did she snort coke."
"'oZeMpIc oR cOkE?' - a fan ," Lizzo captioned the post, which showed that she also responded to the person in her comment section: "Whyyyy do u follow me? ."
Lizzo shared her fitness routine, detailing how strength training has empowered her both physically and mentally. This approach reflects her broader message about self-acceptance and wellness, urging her followers to prioritize their health in ways that resonate with them personally.
In recent months, Lizzo — who has teased that she has been making "the BEST music of my life" in the studio lately — has given fans a few behind-the-scenes looks at how she's keeping active during what she is calling a "gap year." She has shown herself doing everything from arm exercises at the gym to jumping rope on a balcony.
In a TikTok video posted on Thursday, Sept. 19, the musician showed off her physique as she wore a look from her shapewear brand Yitty.
