Busta Rhymes’ Weight Lost Was Inspired By His Wife

Rapper Busta Rhymes recently shared how a intimate moment with his better half prompted him to embracing a healthier way of life. The rapper revealed that, he had an asthma attack after this intimate moment which drove him to change to the better health-wise.

The rapper who shared his wife’s plan on his way of life, said she incredibly propelled him to get thinner. Rhymes shed 100 pounds last year as a component of his health and wellness mission. In 2019, the legendary rapper weighed around 340 pounds at his heaviest.

As per him, he started to put on weight after the passing of his dad in 2014.

During an interview with ‘Men’s Health’, the popular emcee depicted how the dad’s passing episode caused him to acknowledge he had a serious medical condition.

Busta Rhymes described losing his father in 2014 and developing unhealthy eating and drinking habits to cope with the bereavement during the pandemic, which he admitted he never properly dealt with.

Because of his unfortunate lifestyle choices, the artists developed polyps on his voice harmonies, bringing about a 90 percent blockage in his throat. His life flew away with a sense of finality during a private moment with an ex-sweetheart that left him panting for air, and he referred to that second as “mindf**k.”

Busta Rhymes recalled that unfortunate episode and revealed,

“I was getting ready to have an intimate moment with my ex one night, and I had a breathing problem after the intimate interaction. I was having a hard time breathing, so I got up and walked out of the bedroom so she wouldn’t panic seeing me trying to stay calm.”

He added,

“I was trying to inhale, but it didn’t seem to be working. I thought I was having an asthma attack, but I wasn’t. That scared me so badly that I couldn’t think straight because I had to keep cool and make sure she didn’t hear me worry or struggle to breathe. I was in the living room, completely undressed and attempting to calm myself down.”

He therefore realized he needed to change his life.

Rhymes revealed,

“She said, ‘Yo, this is not who I fell in love with.’ She had no idea what had transpired outside, but she was staring at my body and the weight I was carrying. ‘You have to shed this weight,’ she said. This breathing is frightening me. When I met you, you weren’t a musclehead, but you were slender, cut, and had your sh*t together. I need you to return to the person I fell in love with.’’

Busta Rhymes also portrayed how sleeping off in the secondary lounge of a vehicle left his son disappointed. He shared,

“Another instance was when it took security and my son about 45 minutes to get me up in a crib. I was also terrified of having surgery to remove polyps on my vocal chords because my voice is how I feed my family. The dragon is my voice. I avoided the procedure for as long as I could, but after that weekend, I saw the doctor, who examined my throat and told me I may die in my sleep. That’s when I had surgery and started working out again.”
