DJ Khaled is celebrating a major personal victory!
The Hip-Hop mogul has revealed that he has shed approximately 90 pounds, opening up about his dramatic weight-loss transformation.
And while the hitmaker credits healthier habits for helping him slim down, he has confirmed that the medication Wegovy played a significant role in his journey.
The revelation comes alongside details of a troubling onstage experience that prompted him to take action.
Full story below…
Speaking exclusively with PEOPLE, the 50-year-old recalled struggling to get back on his feet after kneeling during an October 2025 performance.
Concerned friends subsequently approached him about his heavy breathing.
The experience served as a wake-up call.
Khaled explained:
“The motivation was there, the inspiration was there, working out and trying to eat better, but I needed help.”
After consulting his doctor, the ‘All I Do Is Win’ star began taking Wegovy, the much-discussed prescription GLP-1 weight-loss medication.
Having previously weighed almost 300 pounds, Khaled now tips the scales between 200 and 212 pounds.
He attributes 75 pounds of his total weight loss to his year-long use of Wegovy, alongside changes to his diet and exercise routine.
The father of two has also embraced golf as a fitness tool, walking 18 holes up to six times weekly and clocking more than 10,000 steps daily.
Peep recent pics of the hitmaker:
As previously reported, Khaled teased his transformation back in May, proudly declaring that his new nickname was “Slim Jim.”
He subsequently showcased his noticeably slimmer frame at a New York fashion event in July.
Now, he’s putting a number to the transformation.
The producer has also announced a promotional partnership with Wegovy manufacturer Novo Nordisk, through which he will document his wellness routine.
And with more energy, renewed confidence, and a goal of reaching 200 pounds, Khaled is embracing his latest chapter.
