Nigerian fashion entrepreneur and influencer Tania Omotayo has responded to allegations claiming she used the diabetes medication Ozempic for weight loss. The controversy began when a social media user accidentally sent the accusation directly to Omotayo herself.
The Accidental Message and Swift Response
Omotayo received a Snapchat message stating “She’s on Ozempic,” intended as private gossip about her weight loss. The mother of two immediately corrected the record: “Oops. You mistakenly sent the chat to me Hun. And no, I’m not on Ozempic. I’ve never hidden how I lost weight. There’s a whole video on my TikTok. Let’s not spread the nonsense please. God bless.”
Natural Transformation Journey
The former partner of musician Wizkid emphasized her commitment to transparent fitness practices. She reminded critics about her detailed TikTok video documenting her natural weight loss methods. Omotayo urged people to avoid spreading unverified stories regarding personal health journeys.
Understanding the Ozempic Controversy
Ozempic is prescription medication designed to help type 2 diabetes patients manage blood sugar levels. Its weight-loss side effects have made it popular beyond medical use, attracting celebrities seeking rapid body transformations despite not being officially approved for weight management.
This incident highlights ongoing conversations about body image pressures and the importance of verifying health-related claims before sharing them publicly.
