With Terror Squad leader Fat Joe's name remaining in the headlines for his massive weight loss this summer, the Bronx, New York rapper admits the buzz has even caught him off guard.
According to Joe, his 88 pound loss has even caught the attention of CNN (Cable News Network).
"I'm not trying to impress nobody or nothing like that," Joe told MTV News. "I'm just trying to get healthy so I can be here for my family and take care of my kids and live the life that was intended for me to live, so it was crazy when I started getting all this attention. Two weeks from now, CNN is coming to my house, Sanjay Gupta, a big special, and all this attention is crazy." (MTV)
Former "Celebrity Fit Club" contestant Kimbereley Locke recently talked to SOHH about rappers like Fat Joe shaking the weight.
"Wow, I didn't even know about that. I'm going to have to read about it. I think we should all try to be a little bit healthier," Locke told SOHH when told about Fat Joe's massive weight loss. "Especially in the [entertainment] industry where so many people are watching us and we're role models for so many people and so many kids. Listen, if you ask ten people in the street who their heroes are, nine times out of ten they're going to name a celebrity. People really do look to celebrities to set the role. I think it's fantastic that people are getting in control of their health and taking better care of themselves."
