Singer Lizzo is incorporating a timely pop culture subject into her Halloween getup!
The "Truth Hurts" singer is incorporating her personal truth into her costume for Halloween 2024. Lizzo, who recently endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, revealed Halloween party pics on Instagram featuring her crafty costume idea. The singer, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, dressed up as an Ozempic bottle.
Lizzo Debunks Ozempic Rumors
Lizzo is taking a stand against her critics targeting the longstanding conversation about the singer's weight, and how she maintains it.
Last month, the "2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)" singer took to social media to shut down whispers that she had been using Ozempic as an aid in her weight loss transformation.
Lizzo debunked the rumors, stressing her weight loss happened naturally and without Ozempic. She captioned her TikTok, "When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training, calorie deficit."
The "Juice" singer also used the popular "It's like a reward" TikTok audio track. She is seen looking at the camera, defeated, as she lip-synchs to the sound.

The singer spent Saturday morning shutting down critics on social media as she posted several snapshots of her Halloween costume, and several pics poking fun at her connection to Ozempic.
In one photo, made to look like an Ozempic ad, Lizzo is dressed in her Ozempic costume next to text asking, "Need self-love? Try Lizzo!" In a box at the bottom of the "ad" reminiscent of a cigarette ad, the text reads, "Side effects include a smile on your face and a pep in your step!"
In two other posts, Lizzo brings the iconic "South Park" character into the mix. In a reel, she is seen dancing with a Cartman balloon man. The "Like A Girl" singer captioned the post, "It’s that time of year where I feed y’all so ridiculously and you’re so very welcome baby."
The post is soundtracked by the Bruno Mars and ROSÈ collaboration "APT."
Lizzo also shared a post where she is seen posing next to Cartman while holding a slice of pizza.
The 'Cuz I Love You' Singer Also Recently Clapped Back At 'South Park'
When the singer hasn't been battling weight loss accusations online, she's been responding jokes made about her weight on a well-known TV show.
Lizzo had no time for comments made on an episode of the legendary adult animated show, "South Park." She responded to the joke on social media after the episode aired where her name was mentioned in association with a character who wanted to lose weight.
Taking to both her Instagram and TikTok accounts, the "Rumors" singer said, "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 in their cartoon that's been around for 25 years," adding, "I showed you all how to not give a f**k, and I'm going to keep on showing you how to not give a f**k."

Lizzo announced her biggest career priority earlier this summer on Instagram. The singer revealed to her followers she would be going on hiatus to protect her "peace," but did not provide any further details.
The "Good As Hell" singer looked very much at peace as she relaxed in the rain at what looked to be a resort in Bali.
The post came amid the singer's "unresolved sexual harassment case," as previously reported by The Blast.
Lizzo Announced She Would Be Stepping Back From Music
Lizzo shocked her fans after posting a letter on Instagram earlier this spring. In response to a year full of controversy, the singer proclaimed she did not "sign up for this s**t," and ended her post by typing "I QUIT."
She lamented that the intention of her artistry was to "make music, and make people happy, and make the world a little better," instead she had been faced with being "dragged" by "everyone in [her] life and on the internet."
Lizzo's last full-length album was released in 2022. She was featured on the "Barbie" soundtrack last year.
