Busta Rhymes Credits 50 Cent’s Tour for 100-Pound Weight Loss and a “Sexy” Physique
Busta Rhymes has undergone a remarkable transformation, shedding over 100 pounds since 2019, and he attributes his newfound physique to touring with 50 Cent. The Brooklyn rap legend, who joined 50 Cent on his extensive Final Lap Tour this year, opened up about his weight loss journey during an event for his latest album, Blockbusta.
Addressing fans, Busta Rhymes humorously declared, “I’m sexy,” drawing laughter from the crowd. He revealed that he lost an additional 37 pounds while on the road with 50 Cent, emphasizing his newfound confidence, saying, “I wasn’t asking if y’all thought I was sexy or not, I just wanted you muthafuckas to understand I’m sexy, period.”
In an interview with Men’s Health for the Hip Hop 50 issue, Busta Rhymes shared insights into the turning points that motivated his weight loss. The 51-year-old rapper recounted experiencing breathing difficulties after intimacy with his partner, a moment that sparked a commitment to getting back in shape.
“I was trying to inhale, and it felt like it wasn’t working. I felt like I was having like an asthma attack — but I don’t have asthma,” he explained. The scare prompted him to stay calm and hide the panic from his partner, leading him to reflect on his health and appearance.
Busta Rhymes further revealed two impactful moments that fueled his determination to get fit: his son slapping his stomach during a greeting and the time it took his security guard and son 45 minutes to carry him into his house after passing out in a car.
Having decided that enough was enough, Busta Rhymes underwent surgery on his vocal cords to remove polyps causing a 90 percent blockage in his throat. This surgery addressed potential health risks, including the possibility of a fatal incident during sleep.
Despite the challenges, Busta Rhymes is gearing up for his Blockbusta tour, set to kick off on March 13 in San Francisco. The rapper’s commitment to his health and fitness journey is evident as he continues to share his transformation and inspire others along the way.
