Lizzo is responding to social media rumors about her weight loss success. The 36-year-old singer and rapper recently shared a series of photos in response to an Instagram follower’s accusations. The user had alleged that Lizzo’s weight loss progress wasn’t a result of discipline and fitness but a “magic” weight loss drug.
On Friday, September 20, she posted a carousel showing her fans how she’s been keeping fit. She also denied the use of Ozempic, the FDA-approved drug for type 2 diabetes. The carousel also included a video where she was smiling for the camera. But are Lizzo’s much-publicized fitness efforts the real reason for her weight loss or just a smokescreen?
Why Lizzo’s Weight Loss Is Trending
Lizzo’s weight loss has been a top gossip issue in the entertainment world for many weeks now. One reason is that Lizzo has always maintained how proud she was of her figure. She is known for preaching and embracing self-love and has demonstrated confidence and satisfaction with her looks.
She has also spoken up against the body shaming she has experienced on social media. The singer has also been criticized for her reckless eating habits. Reports indicate that she is known for overeating whenever she’s stressed.
People have also disclosed that she doesn’t monitor her calorie intake. In response, Lizzo shrugged off the allegations and appeared to be unfazed.
However, a few months ago, fans were shocked to see that the multiple Grammy Award winner had shed some pounds. The rapper and musician has been sharing photos and videos of her fitness exercises. However, what added fuel to the conversations about her weight loss endeavor was the accusation that she uses a drug.
“Did she use Ozempic, or did she snort coke,” read a fan’s query. Lizzo responded using a video clip. The clip had background music from a trending TikTok audio of Christoph Waltz’s “Django Unchained” character, which said, “It’s like a reward.” Lizzo captioned the video, “When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit.”

Does Lizzo Use Ozempic?
It’s up to fans and followers to decide whether the allegations are true. Many have been asking, “How did Lizzo lose weight?” seeing that she has reportedly shed about 60 pounds so far. Lizzo has disclosed some of her secrets, but Ozempic isn’t one of them.
Ozempic, a drug for treating diabetes, has become the go-to medication for weight loss. Tech tycoons, celebrities, and social media influencers have taken to the drug to help them lose weight drastically. So far, the drug seems to have delivered on its promise. Plus, it is safe, too.
Ozempic isn’t a weight loss drug. The injectable medication was produced to help lower blood sugar in diabetes patients. Researchers have disclosed that the drug contains semaglutide. This ingredient exists in larger amounts as a drug known as Wegovy. This drug has received FDA approval for treating people with obesity and a number of weight-related challenges.
A scarcity of Wegovy has now driven people who are unsatisfied with their weight to Ozempic. Ozempic decreases hunger, appetite, and cravings. The drug also slows down the digestion of food making meals stay longer in the body. Since its use became popular, many people have been using the drug and sharing the results on social media.

She revealed that the need to keep up with the physical demands of being an entertainer is what drove her to drop some weight. “I have a very high-performance job,” she began.
“For 90 minutes a night, I have to do choreography, I have to sing, I have to dance, I have to rap, and I have to play the flute… and hype a crowd in very tight clothes, sometimes, clothes where it restricts my breathing.”
Why Did Lizzo Get So Famous?
If you are wondering, “Why did Lizzo get so famous,” here’s your answer: talent, hard work, and maybe a bit of good fortune. The Michigan-born, four-time Grammy Award-winning musician’s musical breakthrough came in 2019. Her first album for a major label, “Cuz I Love You,” reached heights she never expected. The album made it to the Billboard Top 10.
She also had billboard-topping singles such as “Truth Hurts,” “Juice,” and “Good as Hell.” Initially, “Truth Hurts” didn’t do well on the charts. However, the tables turned after a movie used the song as a soundtrack. Lizzo is gearing up to become a great singer and stage performer.
Her growing fan base will see a more active singer on the stage as she tries to combat fatness. Whether it’s through Ozempic or a disciplined lifestyle, most people won’t care.
