Macy Gray has admitted that she is ‘p***** off’ with Ozempic as she revealed what she really thinks of the weight loss drug. 

The singer, 57, revealed she has tried Ozempic as she hoped to drop the pounds like friends who have transformed their bodes on it. 

However, Macy revealed the weight-loss drug didn’t work for her and instead made her really ill. 

She told the i newspaper: ‘I’m the only person in the world who had a bad reaction to Ozempic.

‘I’m so p****d off. All my friends are 30 pounds smaller, and I just got sick. 

‘But I’m doing well health-wise. I’m 57 and I haven’t really started to feel anything going bad.’

Macy has never ‘been good with money’ and her lavish spending over the years included custom-made shoes at $3,000 a pair and ‘half a million dollars’ on her garden.

She admitted: ‘At one point, I had five very expensive cars at the same time, and I didn’t even drive them. I just ended up wrecking them.

‘I got a bit carried away with bespoke shoes. I used to get everything custom made and that got really expensive. Suddenly I couldn’t go to the store and buy normal shoes. I had to go to a cobbler. And that’s $3,000 a pop. I had a lot of jewellery.

‘I did a lot of stupid s*** to my house too. I spent half a million dollars on landscaping. Trees and plants, basically. Was it worth it? No. They died.

‘I’ve never been good with money – and I’m not really any better with it now. I’m not good at saving or planning with it.

‘It’s something you have to learn to be good at because, honestly, anybody can make money. You can win the lottery. You can be smart and make decisions. You can save. You can rob somebody.

‘There are all kind of ways to get money, but keeping it is a whole other planet. You have to know what you’re doing, or it will go away.’

The actress – who has three adult children with ex-husband Tracey Hinds – is currently single but is ‘excited’ about the idea of falling in love again, though she isn’t sure where to find a potential partner because she thinks it would be ‘awkward’ to join a dating app, even one such as the exclusive platform Raya, which has been used by many famous faces.

She said: ‘I’m the only person in the world who had a bad reaction to Ozempic. I’m so p****d off. All my friends are 30 pounds smaller, and I just got sick. But I’m doing well health-wise’

She said: ‘Love is different now because I see bulls*** a mile away. I’m not in love at the moment but I like being in love and I’m still very excited about it.

‘When you’re younger, you meet somebody, and you don’t know what you know. My radar for bad behaviour works better now and that kind of sucks.

‘I can’t really go on dating apps. Three of my friends got married off of a dating app, so I’m like, “Maybe I should go on a date now”, but that would be so awkward for everybody.

‘People talk about Raya but that’s all bulls***. We’ll see what happens.’

It comes as Macy revealed that she’s set to release her first solo album in seven years.  

The legendary singer’s last solo release was 2018’s Ruby, with tracks including Buddha, Cold World and Sugar Daddy.

And though she hasn’t strayed far from the mic with 2023 album The Reset, a collaboration with her long-time touring band The California Jet Club and stints on The Masked Singer UK, US and Australia, she’s now finally due to give her fans a brand new, unaccompanied record.

Sharing the big news with The Sun, Macy said: ‘We’re probably going to drop a record when we’re in the UK.

‘We’re in the middle of it and we want to drop some songs to see what everybody thinks. Then I will probably be able to put out an album by September.’

And in celebration with her career news, Macy hinted that she may even make a surprise visit to this year’s Glastonbury festival.

Speaking of her upcoming record, Macy told how it features less production so as to showcase her voice, adding that the album is ‘raw’ and ‘stripped down’ and that she’s ‘having fun’ making it. 

The star, who sH๏τ to fame in 1999 with her huge track I Try, is currently in rehearsals for her tour which celebrates 25 years since the release of her debut album, On How Life Is.

She’s set to hit the stage at Ronnie Scott’s in London for a trio of shows, before returning to the capital with a gig at Union Chapel on June 23. 

Concerts in Manchester and Glasgow will follow, with the performer then heading to Birmingham’s Town Hall on June 28.

And when informed that this Saturday date coincides with Glastonbury, Macy didn’t hide the fact that she’d be keen to head down to Somerset’s Worthy Farm.

She teased: ‘I would love to go out there. I love that festival. Maybe I’ll run up there.’

She last played the famous Pyramid Stage stage back in 2003, with Macy describing it as ‘wild’ after naked people ran across the stage during her set, nothing that she’d ‘never seen anything’ like it. 

Macy’s album news comes after she previously made headlines in the UK back in January after dramatically storming off stage following her elimination from The Masked Singer.

Before Macy’s idenтιтy was revealed, she walked off the stage when host Joel Dommett announced the sad news that she had to go home.

A source went onto claim that Macy was completely ‘blindsided’ by being one of the first contestants to leave the UK show, leading her to walk off the stage

ITV viewers were shocked but moments later the star returned to the stage and was revealed to be American singer Macy, who did not look impressed about leaving the reality show.

A source went onto claim that Macy was completely ‘blindsided’ by being one of the first contestants to leave the UK show after reaching the final of the US version in 2023 which she was disguised as the Sea Queen. 

Macy was reportedly ‘shellshocked’ and ‘gutted’ to be leaving the hit ITV show so early as she enjoyed participating in the American version. 

Speaking to The Sun, the insider claimed: ‘When Macy stormed off stage everyone was frozen in shock but as soon as she reached backstage, crew removed her mask so they could talk her down.

‘It was the shock of it for her as well as the upset and in that moment she had a very raw, human reaction and wanted out. For a professional performer to reach that point shows how badly she felt.’

Macy had a similar meltdown in 2021 when she appeared on the Australian version of the show and sulked when she was voted off.
