50 Cent Denies Using Ozempic for Weight Loss, Credits Rigorous Exercise

The rapper, who lost over 40 pounds, insists his transformation is the result of hard work, not medication.

50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, has denied rumors that he used the Type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic to aid his weight loss, stating he achieved his results through rigorous exercise.
The rapper revealed he was 253 pounds before he started his fitness journey and is now down to 210 pounds, losing more than 40 pounds.
He has been on a 'rigorous' training program for the past eight months, working out 'three hours a day, every day' before he kicked off his Final Lap Tour last summer.
50 Cent was body-shamed after his Super Bowl LVI halftime show performance last year, which he took in stride, stating 'Fat shaming only applies when you're ashamed of your fat.'
While many celebrities have openly admitted to using Ozempic for weight loss, 50 Cent insists his weight loss is the result of hard work and dedication in the gym.
