Comedian Lil Rel Howery credits dramatic weight loss to not drinking, working out amid Ozempic accusations

Lil Rel Howery has gone through a major transformation — and he did so without any help from weight loss drugs.

The comedian showed off his newly trimmed figure on Instagram on Monday while shutting down accusations from some of his followers that he used Ozempic for his weight loss.

Instead, the “Get Out” star credits not drinking for his new physique.

“This is my own appreciation post for myself. I’ve worked really hard on myself the last 5 years physically, mentally, spiritually, professionally and personally,” he wrote.

“I’m so proud of myself. This is the best I’ve ever felt and looked in my whole life. Honestly. To stop drinking, eating better, working out almost every single day, writing, building a closer relationship with God, therapy and honestly accountability has taken my life to a the next level of pure happiness.”

Though, he didn’t explicitly mention the weight loss drug, Howery went on to urge his followers to not “take the short cut (sic)” and “really put the work in” if they can.

“This is a whole just straight hard work nothing else and that’s the honest to God Truth. Let me be an example of truly putting the work in,” he closed, adding a shout out to his new film, “Harold and the Purple Crayon,” which is scheduled to be released on August 2.

He also hashtagged the post, “#MovieMakingRel #RelTheUpgrade #ProudOfMe.”

Despite Rel’s testimony, some of his followers still speculated that he took advantage of the weight loss drug trend.

“O o o Ozempic!!!!!!!!!!!!! You ain’t fooling no one,” one Instagram user commented while another wrote that he “got the Drake BBL.”

Another user went so far as to accuse Rel of lying, claiming, “He’s not active. He took that s—t and currently on that s—t.”

“You have no muscle definition to show you’ve been actively working out, just frail and massless. The world is a stage and Rel is obviously apart of it by default,” the person added.

However, Howery had support from some of his celebrity friends like Ava Duvernay, Sherrie Shepherd and Terry Crews in the comment section.

“You look fantastic man🔥🔥🔥🔥” Crews wrote.

Though many celebrities have hopped on the Ozempic trend, several stars have voiced their criticisms of the type 2 diabetes drug.
