Meghan Trainor has recently sparked backlash after changing the lyrics to one of her most popular songs following weight loss aided by Mounjaro.
Now fans have made an important point in defence of the star.
The 'Dear Future Husband' singer has been open about her weight loss journey, using Mounjaro - a drug traditionally used to treat Type 2 diabetes - as a weight management tool.

In a candid post on Instagram, the 31-year-old revealed that she wanted to become a healthier version of herself for her children's sake.
Meghan shares two sons - Riley, four, and Barry, 21 months, with Spy Kids actor Daryl Sabara.
Addressing people's questions about her new body, she wrote: "No, I don’t look like I did 10 years ago. I’ve been on a journey to be the healthiest, strongest version of myself for my kids and for me.

"I’ve worked with a dietician, made huge lifestyle changes, started exercising with a trainer, and yes, I used science and support (shoutout to Mounjaro!) to help me after my 2nd pregnancy."
She added: "And I’m so glad I did because I feel great. Here’s to celebrating talent, growth, and the power of putting yourself first. Let’s keep shifting the convo to what REALLY matters. With love."
Her new look is likely the reason she changed one of the lyrics during a recent performance of her 2014 body positivity anthem 'All About That Bass.'

During her performance at iHeartRadio’s Wango Tango, she changed "It’s pretty clear, I ain’t no size two" to "It’s pretty clear, I got some new boobs."
And it left people divided, with some calling her 'hypocritical' for making the change.
One person wrote online: "I can only imagine how hard it would be for people who connected with her early in her career because she was body positive to see her succumb to Ozempic."
But, the singer's fans have since jumped to her defence and made a very important point.

They've taken to social media to applaud the fact that Meghan is 'owning' her weight loss journey and being honest with her fans.
One person commented: "I'm glad she's being honest about it at least. I'm so tired of people, especially 'body positive' influencers who have made a living on telling others to love themselves, lying about this."
And another wrote: "I think that's funny. I think it's kinda charming when celebrities poke fun at getting work done. It makes me feel better when they own up to it. But more than anything, who cares."

Type 2 diabetes drug, Mounjaro, is often used to aid weight loss.
When taken by somebody who doesn't have diabetes, it enhances insulin secretion but lowers glucagon secretion to lower a person’s blood sugar levels and also limits their appetite.
Amy Schumer, Gemma Collins and Jeremy Clarkson have all opened up about using the drug.
