Hollywood's standards on heavy-weighted people have been an ongoing hot topic for many years already. This is why when people discovered that Ozempic, a pill used for Diabetes patients can induce massive weight loss, there had been celebrities taking it under the table.
Now, 50 Cent has been accused of taking it after he posted some pretty amazing weight loss journey on social media.
50 Cent Health: Is He Taking Ozempic?

Many speculated that he might be taking Ozempic. UC Davis Health says Ozempir is an injection that helps patients with Type 2 diabetes lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas produce more insulin. However, a huge side effect of the drug is weight loss, which many people in the US exploit it for.
"50 cent looking like 25 cent!!!" a user said on social media.
However, many fans also took 50 Cent's defense that he might be having some health problems which resulted to his drastic weight loss, or he might have been just working out.
"What's crazy is everyone said after Chad Bostwick death, y'all would be more respectful of people never know what they are battling and why they are losing weight but here y'all are in these comments talking so crazy and yet again y'all have no idea what 50 got going on. SMH" a fan defended.

50 Cent Health: Rapper Loss Weight For Role
Unbeknownst to many, 50 Cent has managed to lose weight in the past without Ozempic.
In 2010, 50 Cent posted photos on social media showing his very slim body after losing weight for a role in his film, "Things Fall Apart."
NME Magazine reported that 50 Cent lost weight to play the role of a star high-school footballer who was diagnosed with cancer.
Before his weight loss journey, 50 Cent weighed 214 pounds. After nine weeks of a liquid diet, he then weighed 160 pounds, appearing very gaunt.
With this unwavering dedication to a role, it could be possible that 50 Cent was not taking any Ozempic and might be preparing for something else, or the 48-year-old might have been experiencing some health woes.
As of this writing, 50 Cent has yet to issue a statement about the said allegations.
