Watch: Met Gala 2026 Dress Code Revealed
Lizzo has the juice at all sizes.
But after her recent weight loss transformation, Pete Davidson couldn’t help but poke fun at the “About Damn Time” singer during The Roast of Kevin Hart, which premiered on Netflix May 10.
“What’s left of Lizzo is here,” Pete quipped from the podium. “Either that or Eddie Murphy just premiered the newest Klump. Hercules! Hercules!”
And Lizzo took the joke in stride, clapping her hands together and throwing her head back in laughter over Pete’s reference to The Nutty Professor movies, in which an overweight scientist experiments with a slimming serum.
Indeed, the 38-year-old has debuted a thinner appearance in recent months, admitting in June 2025 that she even used GLP-1 medications briefly.
“I tried everything,” Lizzo she said on the Just Trish podcast. “Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So, if you eat right, it makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it’s the same thing.”
She ended up ditching the injectables and, instead, made a major change to her eating habits.
“What did it for me is, it was not being vegan,” Lizzo shared. “Because when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats, 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.”
So now that she’s added meat back into her diet, she’s eating less “fake sugar and weird stuff.”
“When I started actually eating whole foods, and eating beef and chicken and fish,” Lizzo said, “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.”

But her transformation has prompted a lot of conversations about whether she’s still a body positive role model—with Lizzo emphatically defending her stance.
“Body positivity has nothing to do with staying the same,” she explained to Women’s Health last summer. “Body positivity is the radical act of daring to exist loudly and proudly in a society that told you you shouldn’t exist.”
That’s why the “Truth Hurts” singer advocates for self-love in all forms, noting that, even when it’s hard, “I’ve never regretted a workout. After, I always feel better. I work out for mental health first. Exercise is the best mood enhancer.”

“I’m not going to lie and say I love my body every day,” she told The New York Times in April 2024. “The bottom line is, the way you feel about your body changes every single day. There are some days I adore my body, and others when I don’t feel completely positive.”
