The 26-year-old rapper had long faced rumors about using the GLP-1 medication, known for its weight loss effects. Per People, in 2024, she shut down those claims, saying, “I wish y’all never learned the word Ozempic. That’s one thing I wish. Oh my God, like, what even is Ozempic? What the f— is that? Genuinely, what is that?”
She previously credited her slimmer figure to touring, gym sessions, and healthy eating: “Like, you lazy ass bitches never heard of a gym? It’s called the gym. It’s called eating healthy. It’s called being on tour. Like, what the hell? Maybe if I was sitting home all day, it would be easier to stay big.”

Omg I love you 🥹🥹💕💕” Some reflected on the challenges she faced under public scrutiny, commenting, “This was when she had a hate train on her too damn😕 sorry they treated you like that Ice🫶🏽.”
Supportive messages continued with fans saying, “Wishing you more Wins …. Love the fact you admitted what it was” and “Depression is no joke ♥️ glad you’re feeling better and you look amazing!!” A commenter logically questioned the rumors, noting, “Once you really think about it why would she take ozempic if she knows her brand is being thick-?”
Although fans flooded the comment section with support for the 26-year-old Bronx native, some critics claimed her explanation for the weight loss was misleading. One asked: “So why you was making them think it was from working out I’m 😭.”
The responses highlight the strong connection between celebrities and fans when vulnerability meets authenticity. Ice Spice’s candid post not only cleared the air about her health and body but also reminded everyone that even stars face struggles.
