Melissa McCarthy Responds to Streisand's Ozempic Question, Babs Apologizes

Melissa McCarthy Not Sweatin' Streisand's Ozempic Q ... Babs Says My Bad, Guys!!!

Melissa McCarthy is making it clear there is no beef between herself and Barbra Streisand after the latter's Ozempic ask -- and Barb herself is also issuing an apology over it.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

After Babs caught some heat for asking if Melissa had shed some pounds thanks to the weight loss drug ... a photog caught up with the actress on the street in L.A. Tuesday -- where she said she still has love for the superstar.

MMC made it clear it was NBD at all saying ... "I think Barbra is a treasure and I love her." She even waved off the photog's question on whether she thought Barbra was out of line.

Obviously ... it's all water under the bridge, although -- Barbra did end up addressing this on her end directly ... issuing a mea culpa to Melissa and explaining how this flub even happened.

BS wrote, "OMG - 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."

Babs adds, "She looked fantastic! I just wanted to pay her a compliment. I forgot the world is reading!" In other words ... Barbra seems to have lost track of the fact both she and Melissa are A-list stars. Whoops!

Remember, Melissa and Barbra have a close relationship, with MM appearing on the singer's 2016 album, "Encore," just like Barbra mentions here. On the album, Melissa and Barbra sang a duet from "Annie Get Your Gun," titled "Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)."

Since then, Barbra has had a habit of leaving casual comments on Melissa's Instagram posts -- this one just happened to catch the attention of everyone who follows them, and beyond.

No harm, no foul ... Melissa isn't trippin' -- and Barbra's already putting it behind her.
