Rapper Fat Joe flaunts 200-pound weight loss
The ‘Fat Joe’ of the fans, Joseph Antonio Cartagena, has shed a staggering 200 pounds. For Men’s Health’s “Hip Hop Health” series, he extensively discussed his weight loss process.
The rapper from All The Way Up admitted to the publication that he experienced a depressive episode after his best friend Big Pun passed away unexpectedly. Big Pun, a close friend of his, died of a heart attack in his 20s.
“I attended his funeral and I felt like Ebenezer Scrooge,” he claimed. I saw me, sort of. I’m also focusing on his young daughter. She and my kid shared the same age. You need to lose weight or you’re leaving, I told her.
The American artist recounted how he first became interested in studying the ins and outs of healthy routines. “Your body’s just a computer,” he continued. It displays food in a variety of ways.
In order to make sure he is healthy, Joe also revealed that he monitors his blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels every three months. His thinking was described as “the most complex Rubik’s Cube you could ever, ever, ever try to figure out.”
The native of New York City likened that period in his life to a scene in The Matrix Resurrections where Keanu Reeves’ character Neo is shown sitting in a bathtub with a rubber duck on his head.
“That’s what depression was like to me,” Joe told Men’s Health. There isn’t a high enough wall you can construct when you’re fighting yourself. You cannot travel to an island.
There is nowhere you can go to escape it because you are fighting your head, he continued. When you first awaken, your brain immediately gives you a message informing you that you shouldn’t be happy. You immediately relapse into despair after that.
Fat Joe will not be changing his stage name
Yes, it is what you read. The rapper will continue to use his stage name, Fat Joe, despite his remarkable weight loss metamorphosis. He revealed that he won’t be altering his stage name in an interview with Page Six in October 2022.
The vocalist of The Shit Is Real then discussed his stage name, “Fat Joe,” and claimed that it wouldn’t be wise to change it at this time because he had invested so much money in promoting it.
