Lizzo claims to have been “canceled for everything,’ this year. But losing public favor hasn’t stopped the “Special” singer from going all out for Halloween (as usual).
Yesterday (October 27), Lizzo decided to clapped back at critics of her recent weight loss and the writers of South Park. In her vibrant photoshoot to celebrate the ghoulish holiday, Lizzo is seen dressed in an Ozempic costume.
“Ok Halloween… you can start now ,” she wrote on Instagram.
To dial things up a notch, Lizzo and her photographer Bonnie Nichoalds decided to generate a mock advertisement for the drug which read: “Need self-love? Try Lizzo! Lose guilt. Gain confidence. Side effects include a smile on your face and a pep in your step.”
Behind Lizzo is a cutout of the show’s menacing character, Eric Cartman, a draw back to her being referenced back in May.

Last month, Lizzo denied user claims that she was using the drug, saying: “When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit.”
In another post shared to Lizzo’s Instagram page, she continued to troll South Park by twerking on a fight dressed in an inflatable Eric Cartman costume.
Lizzo is getting ready to have a good time during Halloween, and she took jokes made at her expense as fuel for a creative costume. Moreover, she recently took to Instagram with various photo dumps of her self-proclaimed “LizzOzempic” costume, which plays off of a recent South Park parody that presented her and her music as an alternative to the weight loss medication. In the episode, the joke is that the “medication” would make users “not give a f**k” about their weight. The Detroit native is very happy to do so, and to continue to advocate for body positivity and confident self-worth.
“That’s crazy!” Lizzo had said while reacting to the South Park skit online. “I just feel like, damn, I’m really that b***h. I’m really that b***h! I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f**k to the point where these… men in Colorado know who the f**k I am and put it on their cartoon that’s been around for 25 years. I’m really that b***h and I showed y’all how not to give a f**k and I’ma keep on showing you how not to give a f**k. Oh, oh, oh, oh, Lizzo, b***h!” she sang at the end of her TikTok video.
If you’re curious, you can check out more of Lizzo’s posts showing off her “LizzOzempic” costume by clicking the “Via” link down below. This cheeky costume comes as she recently gave a pretty light response to allegations that she’s using Ozempic on her fitness and weight loss journey. In fact, the 36-year-old seems very pleased with them in a certain sense, as they let her know that her hard work is paying off. If exercise prompts those rumors, then she’s happy to keep pumping iron and loving herself with no need for medication.
Elsewhere, another big story around Lizzo these days surrounds the allegations against her about her supposed creation of a hostile work environment. When asked about the matter at Fortune‘s “Most Powerful Women” event, she declined to elaborate on it and instead called to attention the event’s focus on fostering strong female leaders and forces. As for the allegations themselves, a court of law has yet to make heads or tails of the situation in its entirety.
Kendrick Lamar was spotted in California, this week, filming scenes for South Park co-creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s next project. In a video circulating on social media, the “Not Like Us” rapper gets to work on the highly anticipated live-action comedy. He and his collaborator, Dave Free, are serving as producers behind the scenes. It’s slated to hit theaters on July 4, 2025.
In a statement provided to Variety, earlier this year, Paramount CEO Brian Robbins said: “This script is one of the funniest and most original scripts we’ve ever read and it’s certain to create some fireworks.” According to Entertainment Tonight, it will “depict the past and present coming to a head when a young Black man who is interning as a slave re-enactor at a living history museum discovers that his white girlfriend’s ancestors once owned his.”

Lamar previously collaborated with Stone and Parker on his “The Heart Part 5” music video in 2022. They helped him work on the deep fake technology used to switch his face between Kobe Bryant, Will Smith, Jussie Smollett, and OJ Simpson. It’s unclear whether Lamar will be making an appearance in the film, but if he does, it won’t be his first time stepping in front of the camera. He acted in 50 Cent’s hit series, Power, as well.
Kendrick Lamar Collaborates With Trey Parker & Matt Stone
The film with Matt Stone and Trey Parker continues a busy year for Lamar who has already dropped one of the most popular songs in the last several months in “Not Like Us.” Additionally, the NFL announced that he’ll be headlining the upcoming Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kendrick Lamar on HotNewHipHop.
Kendrick Lamar was already one of the greatest rappers of all-time before he came after Drake. But following “Euphoria,”“6:16 In LA,” and “Not Like Us,” well, he’s still one of the greatest rappers ever, and also one of the funniest. “Why you trollin’ like a bitch? Ain’t you tired? / Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A minor” gets me every time. Lamar’s pairing with the South Park creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, on a feature-length film seemed like an usual pairing when it was announced in 2022, but not so much anymore.
Here’s everything we know about The Untitled South Park Guys and Kendrick Lamar Project, which is what I’m calling it until an official title is revealed.
Plot
The Untitled South Park Guys and Kendrick Lamar Project is an original live-action comedy that will “depict the past and present coming to a head when a young Black man who is interning as a slave re-enactor at a living history museum discovers that his white girlfriend’s ancestors once owned his,” Entertainment Weekly reported in 2022. The script is from long-time South Park writer, producer, and voice-of-Towelie, Vernon Chatman. (He also created MTV2’s Wonder Showzen and Adult Swim’s The Heart, She Holler.)
Lamar and Dave Free will produce The Untitled South Park Guys and Kendrick Lamar Project through their company PGLang, while Stone and Parker produce for Park County.
“I’m excited to announce that we’re going into production this summer on a [comedy] from the creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker,” Paramount film chief Brian Robbins said at CinemaCon earlier this year. “This script is one of the funniest and most original scripts we’ve ever read, and it’s certain to create some fireworks when it hits theaters on July 4, 2025.”
Parker and Stone are three-fourths of the way to an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). All they’re missing is an Oscar — could this be it?
Cast
It’s unclear if Lamar, Parker, or Stone will appear in the film, but don’t expect to see Kanye West or Barbra Streisand (what a movie that would be).
Release Date
The Untitled South Park Guys and Kendrick Lamar Project hits theaters on July 4, 2025, two days after the Jurassic World movie with Scarlett Johansson.
Trailer
There’s no trailer yet and won’t be for awhile. Until then, you can always watch Kendrick Lamar’s star-studded “Not Like Us” music video or maybe this ranking of every South Park song. I haven’t watched the whole thing, but if “Let’s Fighting Love” isn’t in the top 5, I revoke my endorsement of the video.
South Park spares no one, and not even Lizzo is safe. The rapper just shared her reaction to a recent episode of South Park that satirized the Ozempic weight loss drug craze by using her name and body positivity brand as an alternative solution. Yup, they did that, and you have to see her stitch reaction on her Instagram account @lizzobeeating to believe it.
On Friday (May 24), the animated comedy series released “The End of Obesity” on Paramount+. In the episode, South Park character Eric Cartman seeks a prescription for Ozempic to lose weight, but when he can’t afford the drug and his insurance won’t cover it, his doctor offers an unconventional solution … Called LIZZO. Wild.
“I’m going to write you a prescription for Lizzo,” the doctor says in the episode. “She’s 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. I’m afraid you’ll have to be on Lizzo for the rest of your life.”
In seemingly all good fun, Lizzo used the joke to her advantage and responded to the episode with a TikTok video in which she watches a portion of the episode. “That’s crazy. I just feel like, damn, I’m really that b—-,” she says in the video. “I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f— to the point where these men in Colorado know who the f— I am and put it on their cartoon that’s been around for 25 years.”
On a more serious note, Lizzo recently discussed her mental health amid ongoing lawsuits and public criticism. “I’m the happiest I’ve been in 10 months,” she wrote on Instagram. “The strange thing about depression is you don’t know you’re in it until you’re out of it. I’m definitely not all the way as carefree as I used to be.. But the dark cloud that followed me every day is finally clearing up. My smile reaches my eyes again and that’s a win. I thought my album was finished.. but I gotta get some of these good vibes off in a banger real quick. Thanks for your patience.”
Lizzo also faced scrutiny over the past year due to a harassment lawsuit filed by three former dancers, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez, in August 2023. The lawsuit accuses Lizzo and her company, Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc., of various legal wrongdoings and includes detailed allegations. In response to the lawsuit, Lizzo denied the claims on Twitter, calling them “false allegations” and “sensationalized stories.”
The Simpsons are jokingly known for seemingly predicting the future. On the other hand, South Park‘s strongest quality is the writers’ ability to humorously spin current events. In its South Park: The End Of Obesity, the comedy took on weight loss drug Ozempic’s rise and Lizzo’s body positivity advocacy.
Yesterday (May 25), the “Pink” singer took to Instagram to share her reaction to being mentioned in the special. “My worst fear has been actualized,” she said. “I’ve been referenced in a ‘South Park’ episode. I’m so scared.”
To summarizes the segment Lizzo reacted to, Kyle’s mother (Sheila Broflovski) and Stan’s mother (Sharon Marsh) discuss Sheila’s past concerns around her weight. Instead of taking to Ozempic or Mounjaro, Sheila opted for the fictitious diet suppressor, Lizzo. Rather than losing weight, users shake their desire to exercise or care of others opinions.
“That’s crazy,” she said. “I just feel like, ‘Damn. I’m really that b*tch.’ I’m really that b*tch. I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f*ck to the point where these men in Colorado know who the f*ck I am. And put it on their cartoon, that’s been around for twenty-five years. I’m really that b*tch. And I showed y’all how to not give a f*ck and I’m going to keep showing y’all not to give a f*ck.”
She closed out her reaction video by singing the episode faux jingle.
Watch the full clip below.

Lizzo is South Park‘s latest celebrity victim, as during a recent episode about body positivity and weight, they included a bit about the artist being weight loss medication that makes its users “not give a f**k” about their weight. She shared her first reaction to the clip itself, and once her name came up, her mouth was either fully agape or covered by her hand in shock. Then, the Special singer spoke on how she made it far enough in the music industry to where now Trey Parker and Matt Stone know who she is and know that a segment on her would at least hit popularity-wise. As controversial as the clip may be for some, it’s South Park: what did you expect?
“Guys, my worst fear has been actualized,” Lizzo began her (presumably) TikTok video, facing the camera with a pretty blank expression. “I’ve been referenced in a South Park episode. I’m so scared. I’m gonna blind duet to it right now. Here we go.” After the bit’s intro, that’s when she put her hand over her mouth and reacted incredulously to the clip.
“Not the f***ing album!” Lizzo exclaimed when a character in the parody advertisement held a vinyl that read “Special.” “Period,” she said when a character spoke on the power of “not giving a f**k” that the “prescription” offers. “That’s crazy!” the Detroit native expressed. “I just feel like, damn, I’m really that b***h. I’m really that b***h! I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f**k to the point where these… men in Colorado know who the f**k I am and put it on their cartoon that’s been around for 25 years. I’m really that b***h and I showed y’all how not to give a f**k and I’ma keep on showing you how not to give a f**k. Oh, oh, oh, oh, Lizzo, b***h!” she sang at the end.
Whenever folks drag Lizzo for unwarranted reasons online, she usually responds in a pretty dismissive and unbothered manner. As such, this reaction to the South Park episode comes as no surprise. At least folks can sometimes see the humor in parody rather than focus on the more negative aspects. After all, who wouldn’t want to be comfortable with themselves no matter what their body is like?
South Park has built its reputation on mocking celebrities. The show holds nothing sacred, and has spent the last two plus decades taking down everything from politics to organized religion. Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the show’s creators, have a knack for knowing when to focus on a given topic to elicit maximum comedy. They did it again with their latest special, “The End of Obesity.” As one can infer from the title, South Park is taking aim at the recent Ozempic craze, and the body positivity promoted by artists like Lizzo.
In the special, all local women turn to Ozempic while claiming that they’re exercising to lose weight. Cartman wants to get his hands on the drug, but since he can’t afford it, he’s prescribed Lizzo instead. Lizzo, in this context, is another way of saying “body positivity.” The running joke throughout the special is that taking “Lizzo” allows you to eat and do whatever you want without feeling out of shape. “Lizzo” is something that allows you to think that you’re beautiful just the way you are. As with most absurd ideas on South Park, things go south. There are side effects to taking “Lizzo,” and they are predictably messy.
Lizzo Is A “Substitute” For Ozempic In “South Park”
Lizzo has had a difficult couple years in the public eye. The singer was once adored as a pop culture force, but allegations of disability discrimination, harassment, and body shaming from former backup dancers has shifted the public’s perception. Multiple lawsuits were brought against the “Truth Hurts” singer. Some were dismissed, but others, most notably those pertaining to sexual harassment, were upheld by the court. Lizzo denied these allegations outright. She claimed they were “too outrageous” to ignore, though.
Lizzo defended her character in a statement uploaded to X. “With passion comes hard work and high standards,” she explained. “Sometimes I have to make hard decisions. It’s never my intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable or like they aren’t valued as an important part of the team. I am not the villain that people and the media have portrayed me to be… There is nothing I take more seriously than the respect we deserve as women in the world.”
Lizzo experienced severe depression in the wake of these lawsuits. She recently hopped on Instagram to let her fans know that she’s happier than she’s been in months. “The strange thing about depression is you don’t know you’re in it until you’re out of it,” she wrote. “I’m definitely not all the way as carefree as I used to be.. But the dark cloud that followed me every day is finally clearing up.” It’s unlikely the South Park special is going to help alleviate said cloud.
Just a few weeks after starting the beef that became the biggest rap story of 2024 so far, Kendrick Lamar has shared some entirely separate news. That came in the form of a reveal that he’s working on a new musical comedy film. The rapper is collaborating with Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park for the film. Though it’s still pretty early in development fans are already getting excited after hearing the premise for the upcoming film.
“The film follows a young Black man interning as a slave reenactor at a living history museum who discovers that his white girlfriend’s ancestors once owned his” information shared about the film reads. Fans will have to wait a little bit more than a year before they can see the film when it hits the theaters on July 4, 2025. Lamar has a pretty scant history of appearing in films and on television and is almost always playing himself when he does. Check out the announcement for the upcoming musical film below.
Kendrick Lamar and ‘South Park’ creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s untitled musical will release on July 4, 2025 in theaters.

Kendrick Lamar is still currently sitting atop the Hot 100. He appears on the Future & Metro Boomin song “Like That” where he takes shots at both Drake and J. Cole in his verse. The song immediately soared to number one on the Hot 100 where its spent two weeks. It’s even challenging for a third week on the top spot after holding off Beyonce’s “TEXAS HOLD EM.” The track became Kendrick’s first ever to spent multiple weeks atop the Hot 100.
Fans now think that Drake could be hitting back with a diss track soon. Some cryptic posts he made to Instagram have fans speculating that he could be responding with a new song tonight. What do you think of Kendrick Lamar teaming up with the creators of South Park for a new musical comedy film? Do you think you’ll go out to see the film when it drops next year? Let us know in the comment section below.
Lena the Plug has expressed her excitement over being included as a brief easter egg in a recent episode of South Park. Lena posted a screenshot of the episode to her Instagram, where her name can be seen on a sidebar of Randy’s OnlyFans page. Content creator Tana Mongeau can also be seen in the same image. “Being included in a South Park episode is my biggest flex to date,” Lena wrote alongside the image.
Lena’s easter egg came as part of South Park: Not Suitable For Children, a special episode of the long-running show that specifically took aim at online pornography and especially sites like OnlyFans. In fact, the whole episode was inspired by Brianna Coppage, the now-viral teacher who was fired after her OnlyFans was discovered. Fittingly enough, Lena and her husband, No Jumper founder Adam “Adam22” Grandmaison, later filmed a threesome with Coppage.
With their viral popularity, which they leveraged into a reality show, everyone has been lining up to work with Adam and Lena. During a November appearance on No Jumper, the Love & Hip Hop: New York star wasted no time in hitting on Adam, and later Lena. “I think you should try a girl whose name kind of rhymes with kidney. And her last name rhymes with the bar,” Starr said. Adam was uncharacteristically flustered by the forwardness of his guest. “I’m going to have to speak to my management about that. My whole team…My wife, I don’t know exactly how she’s going to feel about it,” Adam explained. Starr was briefly surprising, not knowing Adam was married. However, she countered by saying “I’ve been with a couple before.”
Furthermore, Starr seemed even more down after being shown a picture of Lena. “Oh she’s hot. I would definitely join you guys in a bed,” Starr declared. She proceeded to get graphic after Adam asked what she would do with the the couple. “I would want her to watch you f-ck me and have her eat your a–,” Starr explained. Adam didn’t give too much away in his reaction but safe to say, he wasn’t uninterested.
