DJ Khaled has disclosed a dramatic health transformation, revealing that he has lost nearly 100 pounds after his weight approached 300 pounds. The Grammy-winning producer and "All I Do Is Win" performer shared the details of his journey, including the role played by the weight-loss medication Wegovy, in an interview with PEOPLE.
According to the account reported by TMZ.com, the turning point came during a performance in October 2025. Khaled, now 50 years old, dropped to his knees onstage to give thanks but struggled to rise again. Friends also noticed that he was breathing heavily and voiced concerns about his health, reinforcing that a change was necessary.
Khaled indicated that he had already been exercising and attempting to improve his diet, but determined that additional support was required. After consulting his doctor, he began using Wegovy. He credits the medication with helping him lose 75 pounds over the past year.
The numbers tell the story of the transformation. Khaled said he previously weighed roughly 295 to 300 pounds and now registers between 200 and 212 pounds. He is not relying on the injections alone: he plays golf up to six times per week, walks all 18 holes rather than using a cart, and accumulates more than 10,000 steps per day.
Beyond the scale, Khaled reports feeling healthier and having more energy. He has set a goal of reaching 200 pounds, a target that would complete a weight-loss arc of roughly 100 pounds from his heaviest point.
The disclosure adds a prominent voice to the growing public conversation around weight-loss medications, which have become increasingly common subjects of celebrity health discussions. For Khaled, the story is one of a medical consultation, a prescribed treatment, and a sustained lifestyle regimen combining medication with regular physical activity.
