DJ Khaled has lost nearly 100lb after making major changes to his health, including using the weight-loss drug Wegovy under medical supervision.
The 50-year-old music mogul said he had been weighing between 295lb and 300lb before deciding he needed to take action. He now weighs between 200lb and 212lb and hopes to reach 200lb.
Khaled told PEOPLE that a frightening moment during a performance in October 2025 prompted him to reassess his health. He had dropped to his knees while giving thanks on stage but struggled to stand again, while friends also noticed that he was breathing heavily and raised concerns.
He said he had already been exercising and trying to improve his diet, but consulted his doctor before starting Wegovy. Khaled credits the medication with helping him lose 75lb over the past year.
The DJ has also increased his physical activity away from the gym. He now plays golf as often as six times a week, walking all 18 holes rather than using a cart and recording more than 10,000 steps a day.
Khaled said the changes had left him feeling healthier and with more energy as he works towards his target weight.
