Lizzo Says She Tried Ozempic & Reveals the Diet Change That Actually Helped Her Lose Weight
Lizzo is feeling 'Good as Hell' these days, and she's not shy about sharing how she's lost weight. In a wide-ranging interview with podcaster Trisha Paytas on the Just Trish podcast episode that dropped Thursday (June 19), the star opened up about the various ways she's tried to get in shape — including weight-loss drugs. 'Wooooooohoooooo! I feel like I worked really really hard, and was intentional with what I did with my body,' the singer said when Paytas asked her how she felt about her weight loss. 'So when I get compliments … I really receive it. … I don't take it any weird way because I tried to do this.'

'I've tried everything,' the four-time Grammy winner shared. 'It's just the science for me. Calories in vs. calories out. Ozempic works because you eat less food — it makes you feel full. So if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same!' But ultimately, it wasn't Ozempic — which is a diabetes medication used off-label to help with weight loss — that helped Lizzo lose weight. It was changing her diet. 'What did it for me was … well, actually, was not being vegan, 'cause when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats,' she shared. 'I was eating a lot of bread. I was eating a lot of rice, and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full, but really I was consuming, like, 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day.' The star — who has been open about her weight-loss journey and has shared videos of herself working out and eating healthy — explained that she was vegetarian for about 10 years, and moved on to a vegan diet in 2020, before giving it up in 2023. 'So for me, when I started actually eating whole foods and eating, like, beef and chicken and fish, like, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that wasn't actually filling me up,' she shared. Lizzo continued by noting that it was a trip to Japan that had her start to eat meat again. 'I heard the Japanese diet is the healthiest diet in the world, so I was there and I was like, 'I'm going to try the food here,' and my body was so happy. My body was like, 'More, more please!'' While adding meat back to her diet helped Lizzo on her weight-loss journey, she emphasized that just because it worked for her, doesn't mean it'll work for everyone. 'I don't like to tell people too much about releasing weight, like what I did. I don't want people to do what I did and it doesn't work for them. Everybody's body's different!' she said. 'I don't know what your bloodwork is like. I don't know how your body breaks down food, sugar. I don't know. But I know for me, I just had to start eating meat again.'

Jelly Roll & Brandon Lake's ‘Hard Fought Hallelujah' Collab Certified Platinum
CCM singer Brandon Lake recently surprised his 'Hard Fought Hallelujah' collaborator Jelly Roll with some stellar news about their hit collab. In a video he shared on Instagram on June 20, Lake surprised Jelly Roll with a plaque commemorating that 'Hard Fought Hallelujah' had been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for sales of at least one million units. More from Billboard Bunnie XO Shares She & Jelly Roll Had a 'Huge Win' in Their IVF Journey: 'Praise Jesus' Nicole Scherzinger Gives Surprise 'Buttons' Performance at Broadway Bares Live Aid to Be Re-Broadcast for 40th Anniversary on U.K. Radio The song, which is featured on Lake's June 13-released album King of Hearts, was certified Platinum before the album was even released. In the video, Jelly Roll says, 'We were just talking about this like six months ago,' and later adding, 'This might be my favorite plaque I've ever had.' Their collaborative version of 'Hard Fought Hallelujah' cracked the top 40 on Billboard's all-genre Hot 100, while also reaching the top 15 on the Hot Country Songs chart. 'I released [the solo version of] this song, and then I felt like, 'This is too special to not share this song with somebody,'' Lake recently told Billboard of bringing in Jelly Roll to record the song with him. 'Thinking about the lyrics, I was like, 'Man, I think Jelly Roll would resonate with the story of this song.' I've been so inspired by his story, the things he's overcome. I remember seeing him sing 'Believe' with Brooks & Dunn [at the 2024 CMA Awards], and I just bawled my eyes out. It gave me all the faith to reach out. The craziest part of that is he had already heard the song on TikTok and loved it. 'We hopped on the phone, and we didn't talk music for the first hour. We just instantly became like brothers and talked about life, parenting, touring, family. It was a real friendship off the bat. There's a reason why he is on top of the world right now, and it's not just because his songs are amazing — it's because he's amazing,' Lake added.

Fans Choose KATSEYE's ‘Gabriela' as This Week's Favorite New Music
'Gabriela,' the new single from KATSEYE, tops this week's new music poll. Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (June 20) on Billboard, choosing the global girl group's fresh track as their favorite new music release of the past week. More from Billboard Friday Music Guide: New Music From Karol G, Benson Boone, Cardi B, Haim and More Nicole Scherzinger Gives Surprise 'Buttons' Performance at Broadway Bares Live Aid to Be Re-Broadcast for 40th Anniversary on U.K. Radio Votes streamed in over the weekend, with music fans ultimately making 'Gabriela' their top pick over new releases from Public Enemy, Cardi B, Benson Boone, Karol G, Lorde, Haim and more. The new KATSEYE track brought in 43% of the vote. KATSEYE dropped 'Gabriela' as a pre-release from their upcoming Beautiful Chaos EP, due out on June 27 via HYBE x Geffen (pre-save here). The track has a Latin pop groove and incorporates both English- and Spanish-language lyrics — with a bridge sung entirely in Spanish. The single follows 'Gnarly,' which earned the group's six members their career-first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 in May — and got a remix with Ice Spice earlier this month. Released on June 19, the deliberately melodramatic, telenovela-inspired 'Gabriela' music video, featuring actress Jessica Alba and directed by Andrew Thomas Huang, has amassed 9.3 million views on YouTube as of press time on Sunday, June 22. Over the weekend, KATSEYE — Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia and Yoonchae — performed 'Gnarly' at the 2025 Kids' Choice Awards. The performance ended with a requisite sliming. Among the new music trailing behind 'Gabriela' on this week's poll are Public Enemy's 'March Madness,' with 22% of the vote; Cardi B's 'Outside,' with 16% of the vote; Benson Boone's 'American Heart,' with 5% of the vote, and Karol G's Tropicoqueta, with 2% of the vote. See the final results of this week's poll below.
