Lizzo has opened up like never before, and confirmed that she briefly used Ozempic during the early stages of her weight loss journey.
In a candid revelation, the Truth Hurts singer shared that she turned to the controversial diabetes drug, now widely used for weight management, in 2023 as she struggled with body image and pressure to slim down.
“I tried everything,” Lizzo admitted. “Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full.”
However, she explained that she soon realised the medication wasn’t a long-term solution for her health goals or mental wellbeing. “If you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it’s the same thing,” she said.
Lizzo’s decision to stop taking Ozempic was also linked to her personal philosophy around self-love and healthy habits, not shortcuts. She credits a complete change in diet and mindset for her continued weight loss and wellness journey.

For years, the artist followed a strict plant-based lifestyle, consuming only vegan food from 2020 through 2023. She says that learning how to nourish her body naturally, along with daily mindfulness practices, helped her ditch the dependency on quick fixes.
The admission comes at a time when Ozempic use is exploding among Hollywood’s elite. Celebs from Oprah Winfrey to Sharon Osbourne have confessed to trying the medication, prompting both praise and criticism from the public.
Fans have praised Lizzo for her honesty, saying it’s refreshing to hear someone in the spotlight admit to trying weight-loss aids while also promoting realistic body goals.
Lizzo also took the opportunity to reaffirm that her health journey is hers alone. “There’s no right or wrong way,” she said. “You just have to figure out what works for you, physically and mentally.”
