Lizzo dresses as Ozempic for Halloween after denying taking the drug

by · Mail Online

Lizzo poked fun at the Ozempic rumors with her Halloween costume, inspired by a special episode of South Park, titled The End of Obesity, which aired earlier this year.

After previously expressing pride over being name-checked on the long-running animated series, the singer, 36, dressed up as 'LizzOzempic' in a bedazzled replica of the weight loss drug with a tape measure around her waist. 

In one image, uploaded to her Instagram on Saturday morning, the Juice hitmaker  pretended to be in an advertisement for 'LizzOzempic,' which warned of fictional side effects like putting 'a smile on your face and pep in your step.'

Next to her image was the message: 'Need self love? Try Lizzo! Lose guilt, gain confidence.' 

Later, she uploaded a video of herself twerking next to someone dressed in an  inflatable costume of the South Park character, Eric Cartman.

In the South Park episode that inspired her look, Cartman learns about a weight loss drug, but is dismayed that his insurance won't cover the medication.

Since his mom cannot pay out of pocket, his doctor recommends a new drug called 'Lizzo.' 

In the show, a fake commercial for the drug states: 'FDA-approved Lizzo makes you feel good about your weight, and it costs 90% less than Ozempic. … In case studies, 70% of patients on Lizzo no longer cared how much they weighed.' 

'Lizzo helps you eat everything you want and keep physical activity to a minimum,' the ad noted. 

Last month, Lizzo responded to speculation that she took Ozempic to achieve her weight loss. 

'When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit,' she mused as she displayed her physical transformation. 

Lizzo then shared a screenshot of a comment from a social media user where they accused her of taking Ozempic or 'coke.' 

The troll had typed in the comment section, 'did she use Ozempic or did she snort coke.'

In response, the Grammy winner wrote, 'whyyyy do u follow me?' followed by four crying face emojis.

During an interview with the The New York Times in March, she opened up about her weight loss journey. 

'I've been methodical, losing weight very slowly,' she told the outlet.

In regards to shedding weight, Lizzo admitted, 'I don't really see it because if anyone who's on a natural weight-loss journey knows, losing weight is actually the slowest thing in the world and you don't really notice it until you notice it.'

However, the star has kept her followers updated with her journey by sharing snaps of herself working out. 

In August, Lizzo revealed that she was taken a 'gap year' and 'protecting my peace' following legal woes.

One year earlier, the star was sued by three of her ex-dancers and in the lawsuit, the trio accused her of sexual harassment, weight-shaming as well as creating a hostile work environment. Lizzo has since denied the allegations.

And back in March, the songstress seemingly revealed that she was leaving the music industry, but later clarified that she is not quitting the industry.
