In a twist of online gossip, Katy Perry’s latest cover art for her upcoming album Woman’s World has ignited a storm of speculation.
The pop sensation, posing in metallic armor-like pants and a bikini top, found herself at the center of rumors alleging she used the weight loss drug Ozempic.
A TikTok video of Katy belting out her new track in a bikini only added fuel to the fire.
Personally, I think she’s always looked crazy fit and hot and still does. So even if she was taking Ozempic, how would we know?
Fans speculated that pop star Katy Perry is on Ozempic after her new racy photoshoot went viral
Katy Perry’s new cover art for her upcoming single Woman’s World sparks Ozempic weight loss rumors.
Ozempic is a diabetes medication that some celebrities use for rapid weight loss.
In the photograph, the 39-year-old songstress appeared to pose in metallic armor-like pants and a bikini top.
Upon unveiling her new cover art, accusations flew. “Katy Perry has a new Ozempic commercial out,” quipped one X user (formerly known as Twitter).
Another remarked, “Ozempic is ozempicking mother is mothering we’re so back.”
A video of Katy Perry in a bikini singing her new song further ignited the weight loss controversy.

The video and photo were released to build hype for Perry’s upcoming album “Woman’s World”
Woman’s World is expected to be released on July 11, while its video will be dropped on July 12.
This track is part of Katy’s yet-unnamed album, her first full-length release since the 2020 Smile album.
Despite the buzz, early teasers of the song have been met with lukewarm reactions.
But don’t believe everything you hear…
Critics are roasting Perry online for her new album, but some of the “leaks” circulating the web are AI fakes
Critics have been harsh. A pop music commentary X page, Mazzy Pop Star, remarked, “Last two albums flopped, no hits since bon appetit and swish swish, harleys in hawaii streams aren’t paying the bills anymore, landlord knocking on the door, she has ONE chance…”
A netizen penned on X, “I was rooting for Katy but these lyrics are so dated. It’s giving 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign material.”
The backlash intensified after a fan account, Pop Drug, seemingly leaked most of the song.
However, on Wednesday (June 19), Pop Drug clarified, “Apparently the Woman’s World snippet shared by Katy Perry is a Fake AI snippet to trick the fans and the haters. The actual song is much better according to fans who went to the listening party. Perry will reveal the actual snippet when coming closer to the release date.”
The saga continues as fans and critics alike await the full release, eager to see if Katy can silence the rumors and prove the naysayers wrong.
