So, Lizzo has been on a weight loss journey lately. Ever so often, she shares fitness videos on her Instagram and TikTok accounts while promoting her shapewear brand, Yitty.

On Sept. 19, she shared a video where a social media user accused her of using Ozempic or snorting cocaine to lose weight.

A few days later, Lizzo seemingly responded by sharing a carousel of her wearing a red robe with the text, "When you finally get ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit." The post was captioned, "'oZeMpIc oR cOkE?' - a fan."

The carousel included a screenshot of the post promoting her Yitty bodysuit, where the user commented, "Did she use ozempic or did she snort coke." Lizzo replied, "Why do u follow me?" It's a fair question for most trolls and people who leave negative comments on other's social media accounts.

For the most part, the "Truth Hurts" singer has been "protecting her peace" in a self-described "gap year." Last year, Lizzo was sued by three former dancers for sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, although she claimed the allegations were "false" and "outrageous."
