DJ Khaled isn’t just posting about his ventures in music or his travels anymore; he’s also become somewhat of a weight loss influencer.

The famous music producer recently shared another Instagram post, where, while celebrating Mother’s Day, he also showed off his very impressive weight loss. After being known as a larger man in the music industry, the musician has lost around 23 pounds and has been keeping his social media followers totally up to date with how he’s making it happen. From golfing to going for long walks, the DJ has undergone a major transformation. Read more about his latest update below.

DJ Khaled Flaunts His Weight Loss In A Mother’s Day Instagram Post

The Wild Thoughts artist has been known as one of the funnier, larger-than-life personalities in the music industry over the last decade. He’s also been known as a larger man with his bigger physique – until now, that is.

DJ Khaled, whose full name is Khaled Khaled, recently took to his popular Instagram account to share a new video of himself on Mother’s Day, where, as he celebrated the holiday, he showed off his latest weight loss in a stylish blue outfit. In the video, his young son, Aalam, is heard filming him as he goes over his outfit, having him pan down at his Nike shoes and get a good look at his jacket.

Then, at one point, he tells his son to capture his “Slim Jim” physique and slimmer stomach, before having Aalam pan to himself for his own little ‘fit check.’

“Dinner perhaps mother day vibes everyday is Mother’s Day!” he wrote in the caption. “Toe to head moments.”

Social Media Reacts To DJ Khaled's Weight Loss After He Started Playing Golf & Walking

In the video, the artist's slimmed-down figure was very easy to recognize for many viewers, even if he had to point it out to his son. Additionally, Khaled's been keeping his fans and followers up to date on all of the lifestyle changes he's made to get where he is.

 

During the Super Bowl, the DJ starred in a promotional commercial for Wegovy, one of today's most popular GLP-1 weight loss medications. In a statement, he said he knew "what it's like to go hard in the gym, eat clean, stay disciplined – put in that work every single day, but still not see the results you want," and started taking the medication to "be the best" for his family of four.

 

In addition to taking a weight loss medication, on social media, he's been sharing clips and photos of himself hitting the golf course to play for hours, as well as going on walks, hitting at least 10-15k steps a day, whether that be outdoors or on a treadmill. His fans have taken notice and are leaving supportive comments online.

 

"Looking good," commented a fan under his Instagram video. "Proud of him!"

 

"Looking strong, my friend!" added another.

 

"Wow, he really did it this time," wrote a fan. "He lost a lot of weight."

 

"From DJ Khaled to DJ Salad," joked another.
