During a recent interview on Big Boy TV, the “Lean Back” rapper opened up about his journey with weight, crediting the diabetic medication Ozempic for assisting him with losing over 100 pounds. He revealed that he decided to take his health seriously after he lost a friend due to weight-related complications.

“That’s when I went on super lose weight mode,” Joe said. “Working out two times a day. Not even eating a cracker. I call it crackhead mode, you know what I’m saying.”

Additionally, while Joe has reached an impressive milestone with his weight, he still refuses to change his stage name because of the amount of money he has invested in it.

“Fat Joe, we spent so many millions to this day millions of millions of millions of dollars. When Fat Joe comes out at the World Series, they say, ‘Rapper Fat Joe.’ Now, if they just said, ‘Rapper Joe,’ you wouldn’t know who the hell that is. We spent all our money pumping up Fat Joe that even if I slim down even more than this, I gotta be Fat Joe, ’cause we spent all the money on Fat Joe,” he continued.

He went on to explain how beneficial the medication is, saying he helps people learn to eat right. Joe even admitted he doesn’t like how people won’t admit to using the “greatest invention ever.”
