Influencer and fashion entrepreneur Tania Omotayo has reacted to claims that she used a diabetes drug Ozempic to lose weight.

The rumour began after someone mistakenly sent her a Snapchat message on Thursday accusing her of using the drug to slim down.

Tania quickly set the record straight, saying, “Oops. You mistakenly sent the chat to me Hun. And no, I’m not on Ozempic. I’ve never hidden how I lost weight. There’s a whole video on my TikTok. Let’s not spread the nonsense please. God bless.”

The mother of two, who founded fashion brands Ziva Lagos and Ziva Kids, has been open about her post-pregnancy fitness journey.

Rumours about celebrity weight loss are not new.

Actress Eniola Badmus faced similar scrutiny after her dramatic transformation, with many questioning if she had surgery. Comedian Real Warri Pikin admitted she underwent weight-loss surgery, while Mercy Johnson once debunked claims of using any medical shortcut, saying her change came from discipline and consistency.
