Nevertheless, upon unveiling her new cover art, people began to accuse the California Girls hitmaker of drastically losing weight after taking Ozempic.
Moreover, a clip of the singer enjoying herself in a bikini teasing her new song, which Katy initially posted on her TikTok, further sparked weight loss controversy.
Ozempic is a medication used in adults with type 2 diabetes, and it has infamously been used by celebrities in recent years to rapidly lose weight.
