Macy Gray is "p***** off" that Ozempic didn't work for her.
The "I Try" hitmaker tried the weight-loss drug, and while she's seen it transform friends' bodies, she had to stop using it because it made her ill.
She told "The I Paper": "I'm the only person in the world who had a bad reaction to Ozempic. I'm so pissed 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 kinds 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."
