Lizzo has long maintained that, although she’s “tried everything,” her weight loss is the result of diet and exercise
Lizzo donned body-skimming lingerie to lip sync lyrics about her recent weight loss — and speculation around it — in an Instagram video that featured a track from her newest album, My Face Still Hurts From Smiling.
Clad in black bunny ears and lace-trimmed leopard print lingerie, the singer, 37, raps “What you gonna say? I throw ass on the ‘net for attention. What you gonna say? I lost weight. Let me guess, is that Ozempic?”

The speculation that she took Ozempic or a similar GLP-1 medication to lose weight has followed the singer throughout her fitness journey. She previously said she’s “tried everything” to lose weight, but has always denied claims of using medication.
“I work my ass off, training 3x a week, daily sauna & cardio, adding animal protein back into my diet, hiring a chef who helps me meal prep and keeps track of what I put into my body in a calorie deficit,” she wrote in July in a now-deleted Instagram post.
In the clip, Lizzo (née Melissa Viviane Jefferson) continued with the lyrics from “IDGAS,” rapping, “What you gonna say? That I’m phat — pretty hot and tempting,” she said. “Y’all want to hate me so bad,” she said, before twerking for the camera with a smile on her face.
In the song, Lizzo also subtly referenced the lawsuit from her backup dancers, who alleged that she often weight-shamed them. They claimed that Lizzo’s Big Grrrl touring company subjected them to racial harassment when it allegedly “treated the Black members of the dance team differently than other members.”
“How can I fat shame? I’m fat,” Lizzo raps in the Instagram clip. “How am I racist? I’m Black.”
