This week, social media was set alight when Lizzo shared a striking before-and-after photo, revealing her dramatic weight loss. But it was not just the transformation that had fans talking; it was her candid message about the journey, her routine, and her pointed response to those persistent Ozempic rumors.  "I detox! Once a month! I also receive holistic bodywork, including wood therapy and lymphatic massage. I’m so happy and proud of what I’ve done, and no one can take that away from me," she said in the heartfelt post. The post, shared by Lizzo, left followers eager for more details and reactions.
