Lizzo has issued a stern response to allegations she's being using Ozempic amid her recent weight loss.
The singer revealed her remarkable weight loss transformation on social media earlier this week.
Well, the post led to some fans asking if she's been using weight loss medication or even drugs to drop the pounds, and Lizzo was not going to let such comments slide.

One Instagram user asked: "Did she use Ozempic or did she snort coke," with the singer quickly replying saying: "Whyyyy do u follow me?" alongside four crying face emojis.
The 'Good as Hell' singer even took to TikTok to address the recent speculation, as she uploaded a selfie video to the popular video platform.
"When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit," Lizzo captioned the video.
Safe to say the singer has shut down the speculation there.
Also on Instagram, Lizzo posted a video montage of herself working out in the gym, captioning the post with: "IM NOT SKINNY. IM FHICK."
It's not the first time Lizzo has been linked to Ozempic, with South Park even making some brutal jokes around the subject.
The special episode sees character Sharon Marsh walking in the park with Sheila Broflovski, who is discussing the 'new drugs' she was prescribed.
Marsh then went on to say how she felt 'so ashamed' of herself for not hitting the gym, but that a new drug called 'Lizzo' has helped her shed the pounds.
"I’ve controlled all my cravings to be thinner with Lizzo," Marsh said.
The episode then rolled into a commercial for the Lizzo drug, advertising it as a 'once-weekly diet suppressor'.
The brutal advert noted that '70 percent of patients on Lizzo no longer care about how much they weigh' as the drug allows users to 'eat everything' they want and 'keep physical activity to a minimum'.
While the singer seemed pretty shocked by the episode, she seemed to take it pretty well in a reaction video posted to TikTok.
"That’s crazy. I just feel like, damn, ‘I’m really that b**ch,'" she said.
"I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f**k to a point where these men in Colorado know who the f**k I am and put it on their cartoon that’s been around for 25 years.
"I’m really that bitch and I’ll show y’all how to not give a f**k and I’m going to keep on showing you how to not give a f**k."
Ozempic, which is used to manage blood glucose levels in those with type two diabetes, has recently been used by some for weight loss.
