DJ Khaled shows off 100-pound weight loss in insane transformation

DJ Khaled has shown off his insane 100-pound weight loss transformation, revealing how his friends had checked in on him and his wellbeing following a live performance.

The Wild Thoughts rapper and producer, 50, has opened up about his body transformation which saw him shed nearly 25 percent of his body weight.

He told of how he knew something had to change when he fell to his knees during a performance and struggled with getting back up, prompting messages from pals.

He has since shared how golf and weight loss medication helped him to finally shed the weight, dropping from around 300 pounds.

It was during an October 2025 performance of I'm the One at his show, he got onto his knees to 'give thanks' but was unable to stand back on his feet. He revealed it caused a flurry of messages from friends 'checking in' on him.

“There’s a part of my show where I get on my knees and give thanks and show my gratitude,” the record producer told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview.

“So, I get on my knees but I remember I couldn’t really get up. One of my friends was coming to me like, ‘Yo, you were breathing hard.’

"Then, ten minutes later, somebody else told me the same thing. I said, alright, hold up. I gotta step my game up. I gotta get my mind right. We can’t have this.”

However Khaled told the outlet that his two sons Asahd and Aalam, who he shares with Nicole Tuck, were the motivation for change, adding: “We live for our kids and our kids make us live. So, I have to do my part.

"The motivation was there, the inspiration was there, working out and trying to eat better, but I needed help.”

Khaled revealed how he started using GLP-1 weight loss medication Wegovy and is now weighing in between 200 and 212 pounds following the huge loss.

He’s now partnering with manufacturer Novo Nordisk to share a wellness plan named 'Walk, Golf, and Wegovy.'

He has also been staying active by playing golf, playing up to 18 holes up to six times per week and walking the entire course instead of riding in a golf cart, getting in thousands of steps each day.

“I’m just way healthier. I’ve got more energy. I’m more motivated to do everything,” he explained. “I wasn’t saying all that when I was bigger. My doctor always told me I was a Rolls-Royce with junk in the trunk.

"And now, he’s saying, ‘You need to be studied, that’s how healthy you are.

“I used to be 3, 4X. Now, I’m like a 2X, 1X. I used to have to get everything tailored. Now I’m buying clothes off the rack."
