DJ Khaled reveals dramatic 75-pound weight loss transformation and the lifestyle changes behind it

DJ Khaled has opened up about losing 75 pounds, revealing how medication, regular exercise and changes to his eating habits helped transform his health after turning 50.

The “I’m the One” rapper discussed his fitness journey in an exclusive interview with E! News as part of his “Walk, Golf… And Wegovy” campaign.

He credited his family with motivating him to prioritise his wellbeing.

“My kids and my wife inspired me,” the 50-year-old said. “When I turned 50, I woke up and thought, ‘You know, it’s time to take it to the next level.’”

Khaled confirmed that his weight loss involved Wegovy, a GLP-1 medication, alongside consistent lifestyle changes. Walking and playing golf became important parts of his exercise routine, although he also incorporates workouts at home.

“I do gym,” he explained. “I’ve got two treadmills here. I’ve got an elliptical here. I’ve got ropes tied to my tree. I dip and dab into some of the things. When it’s raining, I try to do at least 10,000 steps on the treadmill.”

The music producer also revealed that he regularly exceeds 10,000 steps daily and has adjusted his eating habits.

“I stayed consistent with the golf and I noticed I started eating two times a day,” he said, describing his lunch and dinner routine.

Reflecting on his progress, Khaled called the experience “beautiful”.

“When you start getting healthier, you just want to do a lot more healthier things because it makes you happier,” he shared. “I think that’s the key. To challenge yourself to do better. Me turning 50, I feel younger than I’ve ever been.”
