Fat Joe Shares Weight Loss Journey and Use of Ozempic in New Interview

Fat Joe’s Weight Loss Journey: From Tragedy to Triumph

In a recent interview with Us Weekly, rapper Fat Joe opened up about his incredible weight loss journey, revealing that he has dropped nearly 200 pounds with the help of the popular Type 2 diabetes drug, Ozempic. This revelation comes after the artist shared last year in an interview with Men’s Health that his weight loss journey was inspired by the untimely death of his dear friend and collaborator, Big Pun.

After attending Big Pun’s funeral and seeing his daughter, who was the same age as his own daughter, Fat Joe knew he had to make a change. “You gotta lose weight; otherwise you outta here,” he recalled thinking at the time. And that’s exactly what he did.

By cutting back on carbs and practicing portion control, Fat Joe has transformed his lifestyle and his health. “We just try to eat everything with the least carbs as possible…so we try to stay away from the bread, the pasta, the rice. That’s the smartest way to eat,” he explained.

Despite his success, Fat Joe remains humble about his journey, emphasizing the importance of making smart choices and being mindful of what you eat. And tonight, fans can catch him hosting the BET Hip Hop Awards 2024, showcasing not only his musical talents but also his newfound dedication to health and wellness.

Fat Joe’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to make a change and prioritize your health.
