Lizzo is sharing her thoughts on becoming the subject of the new obesity-themed South Park episode.

My worst fear has been actualized, the pop star told fans in a TikTok video on Saturday as she prepared to watch the special for the first time. Ive been referenced in a South Park episode. Im so scared. Im gonna blind-duet to it right now.

The provocative comedy TV shows special titled The End of Obesity takes aim at diabetes drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro both of which have skyrocketed in popularity as shortcut weight loss methods. The Food and Drug Administration has not approved either drug for weight loss.

In the special that aired Friday, several of the animated series characters turn to an alternative product called Lizzo after not being able to afford the more expensive medications.

Im going to write you a prescription for Lizzo, a doctor tells Eric Cartman in the episode after recommending he goes on a weight-loss drug. Shes a really good singer who talks about body positivity and just being happy with the way you look. I want you to listen to Lizzo five times a day and watch her videos just before bedtime.
