Lizzo has poked fun at ongoing rumours surrounding her weight loss with her bold choice of Halloween costume.

Rumour has it the Grammy winner used the diabetes medicine Ozempic to drop the kilos in recent months, accusations she has rubbished.

The animation South Park even joined in when they parodied the singer in a TV special titled The End of Obesity, where they named a weight loss drug “Lizzo” and joked it was cheaper than Ozempic.

Lizzo was a good sport about being spoofed and now has taken it further by making fun of the rumours herself as she dressed up as replica of a weight loss drug with a tape measure around her waist.

“Need self love? Try Lizzo! Lose guilt, gain confidence,” read the slogan in a mock ad she posted to Instagram.

In a fake commercial also shared, an upbeat voiceover claims the medication will make users “feel good about [their] weight,” while boasitng that it “costs 90 per cent less than Ozempic”.

In other follow-up posts, captioned “LizzOzempic dump”, Lizzo could be seen eating a giant pizza and twerking next to a person dressed in an inflatable costume of the South Park character, Eric Cartman.

Cartman was the among the characters that mocked Lizzo in the South Park special which asired back in May.

In the scene, Cartman is on the hunt for weight-loss medication. but when he discovers he can’t afford them, his doctor prescribes a cheaper alternative: a medication named “Lizzo”.

“Guys, my worst fear has been actualised,” the singer joked while live-watching the episode on TikTok at the time.

“That’s crazy. I just feel like, damn, I’m really that b***h. I’m really that b***h.”

Lizzo is proud of mind and body transformation.

“I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f**k to the 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.”

Lizzo has long denied she used Ozempic to acheive her weight loss goals. In September, when she posted a selfie of herself looking slimmer, several followers questioned whether she used drugs to lose weight.

‘Did she use Ozempic or did she snort coke,” one fan boldy asked to which Lizzo replied, “Whyyyy do u follow me?”

She then posted a selfie video in which she mouthed the viral TikTok voiceover “It’s like a reward,” from the film Django Unchained, which she captioned, “When you finally get ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit.”
