Grammy winner DJ Khaled has shocked his fans and followers by showcasing a near 100-pound weight loss. So, when did he realize that it was time to change his life, and how did he do it? Keep reading for all of the details that the fifty-year-old shared.
DJ Khaled Tipped The Scales At 300 Pounds
At his heaviest, DJ Khaled, real name Khaled Mohammed Khaled, weighed in at around 300 pounds. He has admitted that he was unsure if he was 295 or had the extra five, but either way, it was not a good way to live. Regardless, he was on tour and performing until one night when he realized it was too much for his body. As part of his act, he would get down on his knees. Unfortunately, he struggled to get back up, and that was when DJ saw this as a problem. His friends also noted his heavy breathing and commented on it.
Now, he had previously been on Weight Watchers, even as a spokesperson for it. However, he let his weight get out of control, showing off his excessive ice cream stash. Fans joked that he looked like he had a 711 with the amount of flavors that he had. That was back in 2024, and then, the following year, DJ Khaled opted for the GLP-1, Wegovy:
“The motivation was there, the inspiration was there, working out and trying to eat better, but I needed help.”
He added in some golf, which he shows off in a new ad, and shares that he does not use a cart. Doing this roughly six days a week has been amazing for his body and health. Furthermore, he walks around 10K steps per day. As of now, the Grammy winner weighs roughly 200 to 212 pounds, which is an amazing achievement.
Hard To Believe It Is Him
Seeing DJ Khaled in the new Wegovy clip, it is hard to believe that it is him. He looks healthy, and he moves so effortlessly. It is amazing to think that two years ago, he could not get off his knees, and his friends were fearful for his life. Fans and followers immediately celebrated him and his life change:
- I want the energy level of DJ Khaled!! 💪
- Health Is Wealth
- You Look Very Happy Today DJ Khalied
- Amazing keep going 🔥
- Good work DJ Khaled! Wegovy the Best! 🔥
Hopefully, he is proud of how far he has come and is even prouder that he took the time to prioritize his health. Did you have any idea that he was on such a weight-loss journey and dropped so much? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
