BigXthaPlug recently took to social media to preemptively silence any rumors that he is on the Ozempic drug or that he got a BBL from his fans while he is on his weight loss journey. In a couple of Instagram story posts on January 6, 2025, the rapper stated:

"See and the only reason I'm showing you this sh*t that n**ga really putting in his work, sweat and all this other sh*t is because I don't need y'all motherfuckers popping out saying 'oh BigXthaPlug got a BBL. Got his body done. Nah Nah nig**r. This our hard work. Dedication ni**ger. Come one man. Yeah. Get up. Get active. Drink some water. Hit that gym."

BigXthaPlug continued:

"I've been rich. Now its time for me to be wealthy. Come on man. And I know some of y'all might not understand that y'all saying "Oh what you mean You already rich now, now you trying to be wealthy." You know they say health is wealth."

BigXthaPlug has been speaking about his desire to embark on a weight loss journey since 2024. The rapper briefly mentioned that he had talked about going on a weight loss journey when he appeared on the Bootleg Kev podcast in October 2024.

More recently, he got into a debate with rapper Lizzo while they were out in the supermarket buying food and beverages in September 2025. The argument was about having Coke Zero vs regular Coke. Coke Zero is advertised as a sugar-free and calorie-free version of Coke. BigXthaplug was against Coke Zeros, while Lizzo was against the consumption of regular Coke.

The license for Ozempic and its component semaglutide patent is owned by Novo Nordisk, a Danish multinational pharmaceutical company. While used to treat diabetes when sold as Ozempic and Rybelsus, Novo Nordisk also obtained the license for its sale as a weight loss drug as Wegovy.

Ozempic has been involved in a recent weight loss craze among celebrities and ordinary people throughout America. Celebrities such as Chrissy Teigen, Serena Williams, Meghan Trainor, Kathy Bates, and Tracy Morgan, as well as Elon Musk, among others, have all publicly confirmed using Ozempic in their weight loss journeys.
