Pete Davidson took a playful swipe at Lizzo’s recent weight loss below The roast of Kevin Hartwhich premiered on Netflix on May 10.
Going to the podium, the former Saturday Night Live star joked to the audience, “What’s left of Lizzo is here,” before comparing her transformation to Eddie Murphy’s characters in The cute professor.
“Either that or Eddie Murphy just premiered the newest Klump. Hercules! Hercules!” he joked.
Lizzo, who was in the audience, seemed to take the jab in good spirits, laughing along and applauding the reference.
The 38-year-old singer has been open about her changing appearance and revealed on Just Trish podcast in June 2025, where she briefly experimented with GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic.
She admitted that while the injections worked by making her feel full, she eventually decided to move away from them in favor of “mind over matter” and a significant shift in her diet.
Lizzo explained that she actually had a harder time getting full when she was vegan, as she relied heavily on bread, rice and processed fake meat.
Her new approach focuses on whole foods, including beef, chicken and fish, which she says has helped her feel more satisfied without “expanding” her stomach with artificial ingredients.
By removing “fake sugar and weird stuff,” the About Damn Time hitmaker has managed to maintain her slimmer frame naturally.
Despite the physical change, Lizzo has been quick to defend her status as a body positive icon, insisting the movement isn’t about staying the same size forever.
speaks to Women’s health last summer she described body positivity as the “radical act of daring to exist loud and proud” regardless of what society expects.
She maintains that her commitment to exercise is primarily for her mental well-being, calling exercise the ultimate mood booster.
While she may look different these days, Lizzo’s message remains one of self-love and existing on her own terms, even if that means being the center of a joke at a celebrity roast.
