American music producer and DJ Khaled has opened up about his impressive 75-pound weight loss, revealing how a frightening experience during a live performance pushed him to take his health more seriously.
The 50-year-old Grammy-winning producer disclosed that he has reduced his weight from approximately 295–300 pounds to between 200 and 212 pounds over the past year, with the help of lifestyle changes, regular exercise, and the weight-loss medication Wegovy.
In an interview with People, Khaled recalled an uncomfortable moment during a performance in October 2025 that made him realize his weight was becoming a serious concern.
According to the music producer, he had knelt onstage to give thanks but struggled to get back on his feet. The incident also left him breathing heavily, prompting friends around him to express concern about his physical condition.
Although the experience was embarrassing, Khaled said it became a turning point in his approach to personal health.
Rather than relying entirely on medication, he explained that he had already started exercising and making changes to his diet before consulting his doctor and beginning Wegovy treatment.
His transformation has also involved a demanding physical routine. Khaled revealed that he now plays golf as many as six times a week, walking through all 18 holes instead of using a golf buggy. The activity helps him record more than 10,000 steps daily.
He said the changes have left him feeling healthier, more energetic, and better equipped to maintain his busy lifestyle.
Khaled’s current target is to reach 200 pounds, although he says his weight now fluctuates between 200 and 212 pounds.
His experience also highlights the growing conversation around weight-loss medications such as Wegovy, which have become increasingly popular among celebrities and members of the public seeking help with weight management.
However, his story goes beyond the numbers on a weighing scale. The moment he struggled to stand during a performance illustrates how health concerns can become difficult to ignore, even for people whose demanding careers often place them in the public eye.
For Khaled, the biggest victory appears to be regaining his energy and improving his overall well-being.
His transformation is a reminder that meaningful weight management often involves more than medication, requiring medical guidance, consistent physical activity, and sustainable lifestyle changes.
