Lizzo slammed rumors that her dramatic weight loss was due to Ozempic.
In an Instagram post, the 36-year-old rapper shut down speculation that she was taking the Type 2 diabetes medication, which is prescribed off-label for weight loss, attributing her body transformation to diet and fitness.
"When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit," Lizzo, born Melissa Viviane Jefferson, wrote on a video post she shared Friday.
In the clip, Lizzo wore a red kimono and rested her cheek on her hand and smiled at the camera before letting out a sigh.

The post was captioned "'oZeMpIc oR cOkE?' - a fan," along with a string of crying face emojis. The caption was directed at a social media user who had commented on a previous post that Lizzo shared, which featured a video of her pulling on black leather shorts over a beige bodysuit by her brand Yizzy.
In her latest upload, Lizzo included a screenshot of her previous post's comments section, in which one Instagram user wrote, "did she use Ozempic or did she snort coke."
Lizzo replied, writing ""Whyyyy do u follow me?"
