Lizzo, the four-time Grammy Award-winning artist, gracefully dispels social media speculations while diligently chronicling her personal fitness odyssey. Amidst the buzz, the vibrant 36-year-old took to Instagram on September 20th, addressing a curious follower who insinuated she might be utilizing Ozempic—a FDA-sanctioned treatment for Type 2 diabetes—as a means to shed pounds.
In a whimsical carousel post, Lizzo shared a radiant video of herself beaming at the camera, accompanied by a mischievous caption that quipped, "When the Ozempic whispers finally arrive, five months deep into weight training and calorie diligence, it's almost like a bonus prize." The clip was soundtracked by a popular TikTok audio clip of Christoph Waltz's character in Django Unchained exclaiming, "It's like a reward," adding a touch of humor to the situation.
Further fueling the conversation, Lizzo incorporated a screenshot of an Instagram comment, querying, "Did she use Ozempic or did she snort coke?" Amidst the lighthearted banter, Lizzo humorously replied, "'oZeMpIc oR cOkE?' - a fan," followed by a direct question to the inquisitive follower: "Whyyyy do u follow me?" showcasing her unfazed demeanor amidst online speculation.
Recently, Lizzo, who has teased about crafting "the BEST music of my life" in the studio, has offered fans glimpses into her active lifestyle during what she affectionately calls a "gap year." From rigorous arm workouts in the gym to lively jump rope sessions on her balcony, she's embraced a holistic approach to wellness.
On September 19th, in a TikTok video, Lizzo flaunted her physique while donning an ensemble from her own shapewear line, Yitty, offering a striking before-and-after glimpse of her transformation. The clip was punctuated by a viral Nicki Minaj TikTok soundbite that confidently proclaims, "The fact that you would even discuss my looks is insane. I’m a bad bitch, always been a bad bitch." Lizzo captioned the video simply, "Fine both ways," embodying self-love and empowerment.
Alongside her fitness endeavors, Lizzo has been a beacon of inspiration, sharing motivational messages with her adoring fans. Last month, the "Truth Hurts" hitmaker encouraged, "If you’re reading this… remember you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to! Stay focused, you got this." Her message resonates with determination and perseverance.
In May, Lizzo shed light on her fitness journey, emphasizing in a TikTok video that she wasn't striving to escape her body but rather to enhance her mental wellbeing. "I'm not trying to escape fatness," she clarified, noting that exercising for mental health has "shifted my mind." Citing the physical demands of her career, Lizzo elaborated, "I have a very high-performance job. It takes immense physical endurance to pull off my performances, from intricate choreography to singing, dancing, rapping, and even playing the flute, all while engaging the crowd in tight clothing that can sometimes restrict my breathing." As her career flourished, she acknowledged the importance of taking her physical fitness more seriously, underscoring her commitment to a holistic lifestyle.
