DJ Khaled Says Wegovy Helped Him Lose Nearly 100 Pounds
DJ Khaled says he has lost nearly 100 pounds, after reaching about 300 pounds last year.
The producer said he began taking Wegovy after a troubling moment onstage during a performance in October 2025, when he could not get back up after kneeling.
Friends also told him they had noticed he was breathing hard, prompting him to take his health more seriously.
He said he now weighs between 200 and 212 pounds and has lost about 25% of his body weight.
Along with the medication, he says he is eating better and staying active, including walking golf courses and playing as often as six times a week.
Khaled says he has more energy and motivation, and that his weight loss has changed how he feels and shops for clothes.
