DJ Khaled Flaunts His Weight Loss At The F1 Grand Prix In Miami

This week, racing lovers have been gearing up and getting ready for this year's F1 Grand Prix in Miami, Florida, which will occur on Saturday, May 3rd. However, festivities in the famous city are already underway, and a variety of stars are arriving to attend, including the "Wild Thoughts" producer.

 

Yesterday, DJ Khaled, whose full name is Khaled Mohamed Khaled, posted numerous photos and videos of himself in Miami ahead of Grand Prix celebrations. The musician shared snaps and clips of himself on Instagram where he's on a boat, posing in a blue linen shirt and shorts set, etc. At one point, he spoke to reporters at People, opening up about his thinner appearance and updates on his weight loss journey.

 

"Right now they call me 'Slim Jim,' he said on the way to a party. "I can't wait to tell the world how much is coming off of me. I'm sculpting greatness. I've been working out, but at the same time, I've been eating better. I've been more focused. And it's really protecting my happiness and the blessings."

DJ Khaled Says He's 'Glowing' After Changing His Lifestyle & Taking A GLP-1

For years, the recording artist was known as a heavier man, but more recently, he's had a change of tune and was determined to do whatever it took to get himself in a healthier state of being. Earlier this year, during the Super Bowl, he appeared in a weight loss drug commercial to promote Wegovy and open up about his experience on it.

 

"I know 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," he said in a statement. "I knew I wanted to work with Novo Nordisk because I'm a father, I'm a husband, and I want to be the best for my family. When you're trying to reach your goals, and you're looking for something more, having an option like Wegovy pill – that's powerful."

 

Now that he's begun an entirely new chapter of his life, walking great lengths every day, golfing, eating well, and more, in Miami, he mentioned how else losing weight was changing his life.

 

"You can see it," he told the above publication. "You can see the glow. You can see it in the hairline. You can see it. I live it. I walk it, I talk it. You know what I'm saying? It's life."
