Busta Rhymes is busting out of his unhealthy habits! The 48-year-old rapper, whose real name is Trevor Smith Jr., opened up to about dropping 100 pounds in a year and getting in shape.
Rhymes says he initially gained weight following the death of two important men in his life — his father, Trevor Smith, and his friend and longtime manager, Chris Lighty.«I felt cheated.
The two people I wanted to see me win were no longer here to see it,» he tells the magazine. As a result, he didn't keep up with his diet and stopped working out.
But that soon began to change following an incident in early 2019, when he was discovered asleep in his car after a long night of partying.
