50 Cent has addressed claims he has been injecting himself with the popular weight-loss drug Ozempic.

The latter is a weekly injectable that works to manage blood sugar levels and is usually used to treat adults with uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes.

While it isn’t specially licensed as a slimming treatment, it does include the active ingredient semaglutide which, according to UC Davis Health, is approved for weight loss under Wegovy.

This works to regulate your appetite and help reduce cravings, according to Boots’ Online Doctor.

You may have heard that some celebrities such as Sharon Osbourne and music icon Robbie Williams getting candid about using Ozempic-like drugs for weight loss.

However, a famous face who has denied using Ozempic is rapper 50 Cent.

Taking to Instagram, he claimed that his recent 40-pound weight loss was down to following an exercise routine.

In a clip, posted to his 30.8 million followers, 50 Cent began: “Everybody wanna talk about weight loss.

“I was in the gym - I was working the f**k out man. Who’s saying Ozempic?

“I was running, I was running I was doing what I had to do you see me on tour I ran around a lot.”

The Power actor proceeded to claim that he weighed 252lbs before his World Tour and had ‘come down to 210 right now’.

He then asked his viewers: “So how do you feel about it?” Before saying they could tell them their thoughts at a later date.

Fans have since come out in their droves to praise the rapper for his candid exercise confession, with one Instagram user writing: “50 looks fine.

“He’s not a young man. He still looks good for his age. Ppl (sic) here to chill with the weight loss talk.”

“50 was on tour for 6 months straight running up and down stairs, running backstage and levitating in the air of course he was going to lose a lot of weight,” typed a second. “He’s still fine.”

After touching on the weight-loss conspiracy theory the ‘In da Club’ rapper changed the conversation.

The actor claimed 'running around' on tour and hitting the gym has helped him lose weight.

He began to discuss YFNN Lucci’s recent guilty plea for one gang-related charge.

The rapper, whose real name is Rayshawn Bennett, was charged in Atlanta earlier this week after he reached a deal with prosecutors, as reported by The New York Times.

He was accused of murder, assault and racketeering back in 2021 but has pleaded guilty to one count of violating Georgia’s Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act.

According to the publication, the star has agreed to serve 10 years in prison followed by another decade of probation.

However, his lawyers told PEOPLE that he could be released earlier due to previous time already spent in prison.
