Lil Rel Responds to People Accusing Him of Using Weight Loss Drugs: ‘I’m on That Godzempic, Happyzempic’
The actor/comedian claimed he didn't take any drugs and that God inspired him to turn his life around.
Lil Rel Howery has addressed the critics who don't believe he's being honest with his healthy living and weight loss journey.
On Wednesday, the comedian shared a post on his Instagram addressing the commotion surrounding the new look he showed off in a previous post earlier this week. In that post, Lil Rel displayed a slimmer body, different from the way fans remembered him, and revealed he went on a five-year, healthy living journey that completely changed his life.
However, due to the Ozempic trend that's been circulating around the entertainment business, people think Lil Rel is lying and actually took weight loss drugs to achieve his new look. In his latest post, Lil Rel set the record straight and claimed he's been living clean and doesn't even know where to get Ozempic.
According to Lil Rel, his journey wasn't easy, but he managed to push through with the people who stood by his side and by the grace of God, who inspired him to change his life. He claimed he didn't take any drugs, not even workout supplements, and attributed his change to a "spiritual" and "mental" journey "full of love."
"I'm on that Godzempic, Happyzempic, Hardworkzempic, PurposeZempic and just plan on Truthzempic. I'm grateful and glad I said yes to God assignment on my life and friends still here and gone that kept it 100 with me… #BlessedAndHighlyFavored," he wrote in the caption of his post.
In his initial post showing off his new figure, Lil Rel gave the guidelines to how he lost so much weight. According to the 44-year-old, he stopped drinking, ate healthier and was in the gym almost every day. He also took more accountability of his life and went to therapy while also picking up journaling.
