Melissa McCarthy is a Barbra Streisand stan!

After Streisand, 82, asked McCarthy, 53, if she’s on the weight loss drug Ozempic in a since-deleted Instagram comment on April 30, the Genie star made it clear that she took no offense to Streisand in a video shared on the social media platform on April 30.

The fun video began with McCarthy reading a copy of Barbra: Celebrating an Icon while wearing the same floral dress she sported to the Unfrosted premiere in Los Angeles.

The actress then lowered the magazine and told the camera, “The takeaway, Barbra Streisand knows I exist. She reached out to me and she thought I looked good!”

“I win the day,” McCarthy added, before raising the magazine back up in front of her face.

“@barbrastreisand fan club members only!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️,” McCarthy captioned the video.

Streisand’s now-deleted comment was posted on a photo McCarthy shared of herself alongside director Adam Shankman as they attended the Center Theatre Group's CTG The Gala event at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles on April 28.

"Pastels only to honor the incredible @matthewbourne13 at the @ctgla gala last night with this fella @adamshankman!!" she wrote in the caption. "Thiiiiis much closer to my dream of dancing on stage."

In the comments section of the post, Streisand wrote: "Give him my regards did you take Ozempic?" The remark was captured by the Comments By Celebs Instagram account.

Streisand later shared that she was just praising her “friend" as she explained why she made the comment.

“I went on Instagram to see the photos we’d posted of the beautiful flowers I’d received for my birthday! Below them was a photo of my friend Melissa McCarthy who I sang with on my Encore album,” wrote the singer on her Instagram Stories on April 30.
