Nicki Minaj seems like the latest celebrity to hop on the Ozempic trend.
The internet has been fraught with rumors that the Grammy winner is taking the popular weight loss drug. Celebrities, including the Kardashians and Elon Musk, have also taken the medication with surprising effects.
The top-selling female hip-hop artist of all time looked different from her usual self (weight) when she performed at the Rolling Loud earlier this year.
Earlier in March, Nicki was criticized heavily after photos of her vacation in her homeland, Trinidad, went viral. Many pointed out the female trailblazing rapper’s weight gain. And despite the negativity, Nicki remained confident, embracing her weight gain and curves.
Ozempic, a brand of semaglutide, is used to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes with a proper diet and exercise program. This injectable medication helps control high blood sugar, which can sometimes affect the overall body weight.
In 2020, Nicki Minaj opened up about her struggles with accepting changes in her body. She shared that she has found a balance with her mental health when she began to prioritize self-care and healthier choices. The rapper added these transformations helped her feel more comfortable in her own skin.
Ozempic has become very popular with celebrities as many shared its dramatic effects. Some, including Tracy Morgan and Raven-Symoné, have been very vocal about using the “wonder” drug. Others, like Khloe Kardashian and Scheana Shay, have denied boosting their weight loss journey with Ozempic.
Remember, like any medication, Ozempic has potential side effects that may not induce weight loss. Some individuals may experience vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea as side effects. It’s important to discuss potential side effects with your healthcare provider before getting a prescription.
