Lil Rel Howery is setting the record straight.
The comic made headlines yesterday (July 23) when he unveiled dramatic weight loss.
Despite citing a pivot towards a healthier lifestyle as the reason for the reduced pounds, speculation about Ozempic use erupted.
Originally used to treat diabetes, the medication has become a popular means of speeding up weight loss and has been adopted by many in Hollywood and beyond.
Unimpressed with the suggestion that he used it, the funnyman is seizing the moment to draw a serious line under chatter.

Via Instagram, he clarified:
“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”
The 44-year-old also shared a clip denying Ozempic use:

Rapid weight loss is both unnatural and unhealthy. It’s definitely Ozempic or one of the other diabetic drugs!
Whatever he’s doing he can stop right there..don’t lose any more weight, don’t gain no more weight..dont do anything else..you are fine and handsome JUST LIKE THIS..don’t fk it up sir
He’s been losing weight over the years I’m tired of ppl assuming everyone lost weight due to ozempic…you can tell the difference when someone loses weight from it.
