Ice Spice is revealing the real reason behind her weight loss, saying it has nothing to do with medications like Ozempic.

The topic came up when a 2024 video of the rapper working out was reshared by a meme account on X.

“Ice Spice shows off her workout and that her weight loss wasn't from ozempic [flushed face emoji,” the user captioned the post.

Another user quote-tweeted the post, writing, “This weak ass video just shows it was definitely from ozempic.”

Ice Spice responded, “Na it was depression im better now tho [heart emoji].”

She didn’t provide further details, but Ice admitted to "having anxiety and stuff like that" during a 2023 interview with The Guardian.

"Bitch, I wish y’all never learned the word Ozempic," she said during an August 2024 livestream. "That’s one thing I wish. Oh my god, like, what even is Ozempic? What the fuck is that? Like, genuinely, what is that, bro? Like, you lazy ass bitches never heard of a gym? It’s called a gym. It’s called eating healthy. It’s called being on tour. Like, what the hell? Maybe if I was sitting home all fucking day, it’d be easier to stay big."

Ice Spice returned to music in 2025 with the singles "Gyatt" with Latto, M.I.A.-sampling "Baddie Baddie," and her dembow collaboration "Thootie" with Tokischa.
