Lizzo is "fine both ways" as she shares updates on her fitness journey.
On Friday, the "Truth Hurts" singer, 36, responded to comments claiming that Ozempic is the reason for her recent weight loss. "When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit," she wrote on an Instagram video where she puts her head in her hand and sighs.
Lizzo also shared a screenshot of a follower commenting on one of her posts, "Did she use Ozempic or did she snort coke." She wrote back, "whyyyy do u follow me?"
On Wednesday, Lizzo shared clips showing her weight loss, accompanied by audio of Nicki Minaj saying, "The fact that you would even discuss my looks is insane." She wrote in the caption, "FINE BOTH WAYS."
In another post on Friday, Lizzo shared a video showing her workout routine and wrote that she is "NOT SKINNY IM FHICK," meaning fat and thick.

Many fans expressed support for Lizzo on social media. "I've been noticing the changes these last few months but I didn't mention it because it's 2024 and we shouldn't be talking about anyone's body," one follower wrote, receiving more than 4,000 likes. "However, you look AMAZING!!"
Lizzo, a longtime advocate of body positivity, has shared numerous posts this year depicting her workout routine. In August, she posted clips of herself at the gym and told followers, "If you're reading this .... remember you can do ANYTHING you put ur mind to."
In another recent workout video, Lizzo said it's "incredible" that she's in a place where she loves her body.
"There were times in my life where I was smaller than I am now, and I hated myself," she said. "And before I started this fitness journey, I started a self-love journey. And self-love isn't just about accepting yourself as you are. It's also accepting the fact that you change."

In March, Lizzo told The New York Times she has "been methodical" and "losing weight very slowly," noting that she has been dieting and exercising. "I'm taking the time every day to put some love into my body," she said. "There is never a day when I regret taking a walk or doing some Pilates."
But she added, "My body is nobody's business."
Lizzo previously reflected in 2020 that she is "beautiful and I'm still fat," which are "not mutually exclusive."
"To the people who look to me, please do not starve yourselves," she said at the time. "I did not starve myself. I fed myself greens and water and fruit and protein and sunlight. You don't have to do that to be beautiful or healthy. That was my way. You can do life your way. Remember, despite anything anyone says or does, DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH YOUR BODY."
In May, Lizzo reacted on TikTok after she was referenced in a "South Park" special about Ozempic and other medications intended to treat diabetes that celebrities have used for weight loss. In the special, "Lizzo" is marketed to those who can't afford weight loss medications as an alternative that will help them embrace their size.
After initially saying that being referenced on "South Park" was her "worst fear," Lizzo expressed approval of the parody, suggesting it indicates she has "really showed the world how to love yourself."
