DJ Khaled Reveals 75-Pound Loss As Wegovy Campaign Expands

DJ Khaled says he has lost 75 pounds after a year on Wegovy, putting a number behind his transformation as he expands his partnership with the drugmaker.

Novo Nordisk announced the new campaign. Khaled will discuss fatherhood, his daily routine and the performance that pushed him to seek medical help.

“I’ve been taking Wegovy for a year now and lost 75 pounds, or about 25% of my body weight. My progress, it’s something I’m proud of — not just for myself, but what taking these steps means for my family. Being a father, being a husband, doing this for the people who depend on me — that’s the real major key. I’m grateful for the journey, grateful for my family, and grateful to share this chapter with the people who’ve supported me from day one,” DJ Khaled said.

Khaled described struggling during a show about a year earlier. A friend’s observation helped convince him that walking and golf alone weren’t doing enough.

He consulted his doctor and added the medication alongside changes to his diet. The new promotion centers on his own experience, not a promise that everyone taking the prescription will get the same results.

Khaled has been turning his health goals into public campaigns for years. In January 2018, Weight Watchers named him a social media ambassador after Roc Nation introduced him to the company. He shared his progress on its Freestyle program across Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

“I started a new chapter of more goals, more wins, and more blessings. And managing my weight is part of it — so, no more gatekeeping. I partnered with Wegovy to bring people fully behind the scenes into my day-to-day routine and let them know they’ve got options. So, if someone is thinking about Wegovy, they should talk to their doctor and figure out what’s best for them,” DJ Khaled said.

That partnership also followed him on the road. The companies launched Khaled’s Kitchen Tour in March 2018, bringing a food truck with recipes inspired by his personal chef to concert stops. The pop-ups connected his touring schedule with the effort to change his eating habits.

This isn’t Khaled’s first appearance for Wegovy. He participated in its Super Bowl commercial earlier this year, then responded to criticism of his weight-loss partnerships by emphasizing the work he was putting in.

At that point, his public updates highlighted long walks and rounds of golf without a cart. The latest announcement adds a specific account of medication use and how much weight he says he lost.

Khaled began taking Wegovy in late 2025, according to Novo Nordisk.
