DJ Maphorisa’s weight loss sparks a stir
DJ Maphorisa, the South African music sensation, turned heads after celebrating his 38th birthday with friends and industry colleagues.
The star shared a photo of himself dressed in an all-black outfit for the occasion, but it wasn’t his outfit that had fans talking, it was his striking weight loss.
The birthday snap, which surfaced on X, sparked a flurry of reactions from fans and followers.
One user joked, “Lost some weight, but the headlights remained. Must be Ozempic.”
Another added, “Ozemp is working out well there by the celebville.”
Some fans were impressed with the transformation, with one noting, “Turned 38 weighing 38 too,” while another expressed shock, writing, “Haybo, when did he become iSlender?”
Ozempic, a prescription medication originally designed to manage type 2 diabetes, has recently gained attention for its weight loss effects.
Many celebrities have been linked to its use, sparking discussions online about healthy weight management and wellness trends.
DJ Maphorisa isn’t the first star to face scrutiny over weight loss. Recently, Major League DJz also made headlines after social media users speculated about their use of Ozempic to shed pounds.
