DJ Khaled Says He Has Lost 90 Pounds With Wegovy and Golf

Khaled said friends noticed he was breathing hard during the show and checked on him afterward. The next day, another friend called, prompting him to take stock of how he felt. He also cited his sons, Asahd and Aalam, whom he shares with Nicole Tuck, as a reason to make a change. “We live for our kids, and our kids make us live. So, I have to do my part,” he said.

He said he was already trying to exercise and eat better when he added Wegovy in 2025, saying he needed help. Golf is now part of his routine: Khaled says he plays about six days a week, walks the course rather than using a cart and gets more than 10,000 steps. He estimated his starting weight at 295 to 300 pounds and says he now weighs between 200 and 212 pounds.

Khaled has also described practical changes. He said he once wore a 3X or 4X and now wears a 1X or 2X, and can buy clothes off the rack rather than having them tailored. He previously discussed his weight publicly as a Weight Watchers spokesperson in 2018. His current progress has featured in promotional posts for Wegovy, made by Novo Nordisk, with which he is now partnering.

In 2024, Khaled drew attention for a freezer stocked with 45 ice cream flavors, including Breyers, Häagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerry’s. He now uses Instagram to share updates about his weight-loss routine. Oprah Winfrey and Kelly Clarkson have also spoken publicly about prescription weight-loss medication; neither named the drug they used in the accounts cited in the source.
