The singer expresses pride in episode in which her music is prescribed as an alternative to weight loss drugs such as Ozempic
Lizzo has expressed pride on seeing a South Park episode dedicated to her, saying: “I really showed the world how to love yourself.”
The singer filmed herself watching the episode of the long-running satirical comedy entitled The End of Obesity, which features a storyline in which listening to her music is prescribed as an alternative to expensive new weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic.
In a deadpan opening to the video, she said: “Guys, my worst fear has been actualised: I’ve been referenced in a South Park episode.”
In the clip she watches, an advert for the treatment boasts its benefits: “Lizzo makes you feel good about your weight … 70% of patients on Lizzo no longer cared … Lizzo helps you eat everything you want and keep physical activity to a minimum.”
The singer has long been a proponent of self-acceptance, celebrating her body with lascivious outfits and lyrics, and performing with a troupe of plus-size dancers.
