In October, Fat Joe attributed his weight loss to using the popular prescription drug Ozempic. In a new interview with Big Boy TV, the Bronx rap legend candidly discusses losing over 100 pounds and why he sees Ozempic as a breakthrough innovation in the fight against obesity. Joe revealed that his weight loss mission began after a friend tragically passed away from health complications caused by obesity. The loss prompted him to enter what he calls “hyper weight loss mode,” a lifestyle characterized by high-intensity exercise and extreme dietary restrictions. “I didn’t even eat the cookie,” Joe admits, jokingly calling it “goof mode” to emphasize the intensity of his efforts.
While praising the benefits of Ozempic, Joe also expressed frustration with those who deny using it, noting how quickly some people lose weight in notoriously stubborn areas. For him, taking medication was a no-brainer. “Ozempic is the greatest invention ever invented,” he declared, adding that he hoped its creators would develop similar drugs to curb cravings for smoking and drinking.

While he no longer has a big image, he has no plans to change his name. He explained the substantial financial investment associated with his brand over the years. “We spent millions of dollars building the Fat Joe name,” he said. “When I walked out of the World Series, they announced ‘Fat Joe the Rapper.’ If they had just said ‘Fat Joe the Rapper,’ no one would have known who that was.” Even if I lose more weight, I’ll always be Fat Joe because that’s the brand we build.
