DJ Khaled weight loss has reached nearly 100 pounds, after the 50-year-old music mogul dropped from around 300lbs to between 200lbs and 212lbs.
In an interview with People published on Thursday, November 12, Khaled said he has lost about 90 pounds in total, with 75 pounds lost with the help of the weight-loss drug Wegovy. He said he weighed “295, 300 pounds” when he started his health journey.
The turning point came during an October 2025 performance. Khaled said there is a part of his show where he gets on his knees to give thanks and show gratitude, but on that night he could not get back up.
Friends raised concerns after the show. One told him he was breathing hard, another said the same thing 10 minutes later, and a third called the next day to check in.
Khaled said he knew he had to step up his game and get his mind right, for himself and his family. He shares two sons, Asahd, 10, and Aalam, 6, with his wife, Nicole Tuck.
DJ Khaled Weight Loss: Walk, Golf and Wegovy
Khaled said the motivation was there, along with working out and trying to eat better, but he needed help. He started taking Wegovy in late 2025 after speaking to his doctor.
He is now partnering with its maker, Novo Nordisk, to share a routine he calls “Walk, Golf, and Wegovy.” He plays 18 holes up to six times a week, starts at 8 a.m., and walks the course instead of using a cart. He said he gets over 10,000 steps a day.
“I’m just way healthier. I’ve got more energy. I’m more motivated to do everything,” he said. He added that his doctor used to call him a “Rolls-Royce with junk in the trunk” and now tells him, “You need to be studied, that’s how healthy you are.”
The change is also visible in his wardrobe. “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,” he said.
This is not his first weight-loss effort. About seven years ago, he partnered with Weight Watchers and lost 34 pounds at the time.
Khaled said he would love to get to 200 pounds. He is also set to host the We the Best charity golf tournament in Miami on December 3.
