Jadakiss Wants Gangster Rappers To Adopt Healthy Lifestyles

Jadakiss is promoting a healthy lifestyle even for the gangsters of the world.

The New York icon is spreading the word about getting in shape and encouraging rappers to do the same so that they’ll be around to enjoy their wealth. In the words of the “By Your Side” rapper, “healthy is gangsta.”

“Everybody want to be tough guys and this and that – rich – [but] if you not healthy, you can’t be alive to spend your money. If you not healthy, you can’t enjoy the party, you can’t enjoy the perks of life. You won’t be here to see your kids graduate, to see ’em score they first touchdown, to see things like that. So health is more important than anything,” Jadakiss said during his appearance on the Facebook Watch series “The Pull Up.”

The 46-year-old says he still enjoys the rapper perks but enjoys a good balance. Jadakiss shared that getting in shape has helped him become a better performer. Shedding those extra pounds has improved his onstage breath control.

One Jadakiss video, in particular, went viral earlier this year, showing him training in the gym and executing a gymnast-style workout that showcased his incredible upper body strength.
