Busta Rhymes
What is the story behind Busta Rhymes and his weight loss? What happened to him? Learn all there is to know.
Rapper Busta Rhymes has dramatically transformed his body through a weight loss journey after revealing he had a concerning experience. Rhymes, 51, detailed his 100-pound weight loss and said it was prompted by an “asthma attack” after having sex.
“One night I was getting ready to have, make, you know… I was getting ready to have an intimate moment with my ex,” he said during a cover interview with Men’s Health. The rapper continued to say that he started to have a “really difficult time breathing” after the engagement. “I got up and I walked out of the bedroom, so she wouldn’t panic seeing me trying to keep myself calm. I was trying to inhale and it felt like it wasn’t working,” Rhymes shared.
“I felt like I was having like an asthma attack—but I don’t have asthma,” he added. Shortly after, he confessed that his ex blasted him about his health. “She was like, ‘Yo, this is not who I fell in love with.’ She was like, ‘You got to lose this weight,’” Rhymes recalled. The “Look At Me Now” rapper admitted the heated moment with his ex fueled him to start slimming down for the first time since gaining weight in 2014.
Rhymes had a life-altering event happen to him in 2014 that caused his weight gain.
His father died, and he said that he never properly healed. Instead, he “drowned” himself in work. “I just kept drinking, smoking, eating bad—the whole nasty—and recording a bunch of songs just to escape the pain,” the rapper recalled. “I also had a 90 percent blockage in my throat because of polyps on my vocal cords and my breathing was bad.”
In 2019, Rhymes weighed 340 pounds and was in the “worst health of his life.” His journey towards a slimmer body is one that inspires and should be acknowledged by one and all.
