DJ Khaled is thrilled about his recent weight loss and more excited than ever to show it off.
The rapper has been chronicling his fitness journey on social media, crediting workouts, walks, golf, and diet. In February 2026, he also appeared in a Super Bowl ad for Wegovy, showing his support for their new oral pill.
On April 29, he showed off his slimmed-down physique at the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Livery Launch Party at F1 Miami Grand Prix (photo above). While en route to the event, he opened up to PEOPLE about his fitness progress, how he’s dropped the weight, and his new nickname.
DJ Khaled Excited About His Progress
“Right now, they call me âSlim Jim,’” he quipped, as he showed off his body in a blue linen outfit. “I can’t wait to tell the world how much is coming off of me.”
“I’m sculpting greatness,” Khaled added, saying he’s 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,” the DJ continued. “You can see it. 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.”
How DJ Khaled Lost Weight
As for how he dropped the weight, Khaled credited his love of golf and daily walks, which range between seven and 11 miles.
“What I do is IÂ play 18 holes of golf â with no golf cart, though. So 18 holes, that’s about six to seven miles where I play at. And sometimes I double it up,” he told PEOPLE. “But I wake up at six, seven in the morning. So by the time I’m done golfing and walking, walking and golfing, everybody’s still hugging their pillow, putting slob over it. And it’s about 10:30, 11:00 when I get done. I already put in the work. And then I go back and run the empire. You know what I’m saying? We the best.”
He added that starting each day with “good energy” is “important.”
Fans, meanwhile, were stunned by his progress. In the comments on PEOPLE’s Instagram video, followers left messages like, “Consistency is the key ðâ¦you look great!”
“Slim billlly ð¥ð¥ð¥ð¥ð¥ð¥” added another, as many of his fans left fire emojis.
The rapper’s remarks come two months after he shared an impressive Before & After photo of his weight loss on Instagram.
“You either win with us or you watch us win,” he captioned the post. “I’m just getting started, love is the only way! AALAM OF GOD! @wethebest!”
The photos he used showed him shirtless on the beach in Barbados in July 2025, alongside a more slimmed-down version of himself now. He also included a number of photos and videos of himself on the golf course, showing how he gets his exercise in.
The same day as that post, according to another PEOPLE article, he shared an Instagram Story in which he claimed he increased his daily steps to 15,000.
“You gotta understand, I want it off…and itâs coming off,” he said in the same video, rubbing his stomach. “Don’t act like you don’t see it coming off.”
Keep up the good work!
