she made an unexpected appearance on South Park. The singer and body positivity advocate was referenced in the show’s latest special, South Park: The End of Obesity, which aired on May 24.
In this episode, South Park introduced a faux medication called “Lizzo,” positioned as an affordable alternative to the weight loss drug Ozempic. This fictional drug claims to help users feel good about their weight rather than focusing on weight loss.
TikTok Reaction Goes Viral
The day after the episode aired, Lizzo, 36, took to TikTok to share her reaction. In a “blind duet” video, she expressed her shock and disbelief: “Guys, my worst fear has been actualized. I’ve been referenced in a South Park episode.”
The episode includes a scene where Sharon, the mother of one of the main characters, discusses weight management with her friend Sheila. Sharon explains that her doctor refused to prescribe weight loss medications like Ozempic since she doesn’t have diabetes. Sheila then introduces “Lizzo,” the new faux obesity drug.
“Don’t you know, Sheila?” Sharon says. “Now, there’s a whole new obesity drug for those of us who can’t afford Ozempic and Mounjaro.”

As Lizzo watches the scene unfold, a parody commercial for the faux drug begins. The narrator touts “Lizzo” as a cost-effective solution that helps users feel good about their weight. Sharon adds, “I’ve lowered my standards and my expectations,” to which Lizzo reacts with shock, her hand covering her mouth.
The spoof continues with claims that “Lizzo” allows users to eat whatever they want with minimal exercise. “70% of patients on Lizzo no longer care how much they weigh,” the narrator asserts. The ad even includes a scene of a character listening to a Lizzo album, prompting the singer to exclaim, “Not the f—— album!”
Lizzo’s Empowered Response
The parody concludes with Sharon encouraging viewers to “ask about the power of not giving a f— with Lizzo.” Lizzo snaps in approval and says, “period,” before reflecting on her influence.
“That’s crazy. I just feel like damn, I’m really that bitch,” Lizzo says after the clip ends. She expresses pride in her role as a self-love advocate, acknowledging that even the South Park creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, have noticed her impact. “I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f—,” she continues. “And I’m gonna keep on showing you how to not give a f—.”
Lizzo’s Continued Influence
Lizzo wraps up her reaction with a playful take on the faux ad’s jingle, reinforcing her message of self-acceptance and empowerment. Her viral TikTok showcases her ability to turn even surprising moments into opportunities for positivity and self-love.
South Park: The End of Obesity is currently streaming on Paramount+, allowing fans to see the episode and Lizzo’s humorous and candid reaction.
