Ice Spice Reveals Weight Loss Truth
Rapper Ice Spice made a vulnerable confession about her dramatic 2024 weight loss, clarifying it was due to depression rather than Ozempic or other weight-loss drugs. This candid admission comes amid widespread celebrity speculation about fitness and health journeys in the industry.
The rapper's admission followed her sharing a video of her workout routine, which prompted a user on X to claim the clip was proof she had used Ozempic. In response, Ice Spice tweeted, "Na it was depression im better now tho." This was a shift from her previous denials of using the weight-loss drug. Previously, in August 2024, Ice Spice had directly addressed the Ozempic rumors during an X Spaces live chat. She stated she wished people had never learned the word "Ozempic" and attributed her slimmer figure to working out, eating healthy, and her busy tour schedule. The speculation around Ice Spice is part of a larger trend in Hollywood, where numerous celebrities have been accused of using drugs like Ozempic for weight loss. Stars such as Khloé Kardashian and Lizzo have publicly denied using the drug, while others like Amy Schumer and Elon Musk have admitted to it. Depression can have a significant impact on weight, with some individuals experiencing weight loss due to a lack of appetite or motivation to eat. The connection between mental and physical health is well-documented, with poor mental health sometimes leading to physical changes.
