DJ Khaled has opened up about losing close to 100 pounds, describing the lifestyle overhaul that helped him shed the weight after a wake-up call he could not ignore.
The 50-year-old American music producer, born Khaled Mohamed Khaled, shared his story in an interview with People, explaining that a moment of panic at a live performance triggered everything.
During an October 2025 show, Khaled knelt on stage mid-performance to give thanks, something he regularly does during his sets.

Khaled initially tried to improve his health through exercise and cleaner eating before realising he needed more structured medical support.
He consulted his doctor and began using Wegovy, a GLP-1 weight-loss medication, towards the end of 2025.
