Busta Rhymes’ shocking new transformation has fans stunned
Busta Rhymes has revealed that he has lost 100 kilos after years of scuffling with weight. However, his recent appearance has fans noticing how unrecognizable he looks.
The “Touch It” rapper began a weight reduction weight loss plan in 2019 after gaining as much as 340 kilos and having difficulty respiration. The 51-year-old revealed he first began gaining weight in 2014 while mourning the lack of his father, Trevor Smith Sr.
“It had to do with the fact that I had never properly dealt with the loss of my father. My dad died in 2014 and I drowned in work” – Busta he said Men’s Health Magazine. “I just drank, smoked, ate poorly – it was all terrible – and recorded some songs to escape the pain.”
The “Make It Clap” artist – whose real name is Trevor George Smith Jr. – he added that he also has polyps on his vocal cords and difficulty respiration, especially during sex.
Smith said he got scared and thought he was having an asthma attack, although he did not have asthma. He added that his young son’s patting on his large belly, combined with the doctor’s information that he might die in his sleep, prompted him to undergo surgery on his vocal cords and shed weight.
The now 51-year-old has created a training plan that features “training twice a day… sauna, cryotherapy,” maintaining a healthy diet, drinking loads of water and getting loads of rest. Many people noticed that he transformed his big, round belly right into a six-pack after he shared a before and after photo with fans on social media in late 2020.
However, the newest photo that the “Break Ya Neck” rap star shared on April 23 shocked many to see him so slim and toned.
“Who is that?! There’s no way it’s Busta” he replied one fan. Another fan exclaimed: “Didn’t he just swell up? Who’s that? One fan wondered if he had taken the popular weight loss drug Ozempic. “He took that Zemp?”
Meanwhile, several other people commented that he looked like a younger and refreshed version of himself.
“Busta looks young, healthy, happy and rested,” added one other. “I had to do a triple take! Busta looks great!” “You are all a journey! Buss put in a lot of work and looks great,” echoed a 3rd.
The “Look At Me Now” lyricist revealed that he weighed around 255 kilos last August. However, it’s unclear how much he weighs now. However, he maintained his form in the course of the 50 Cent Final Lap tour, which ended last November, making stops in over 60 cities and countries.
Smith was scheduled to kick off his 21-date North American Blockbusta Tour in San Francisco last March, however the tour was canceled just per week before it was scheduled to start. No reason for the canceled trip was given.
