The rapper thanked his training team for getting him back into shape, and his fans were full of support in the comments. “Goooo Busta so proud of you well done,” one wrote. “I love this for him. He looks amazing,” another added.
Earlier this year, Busta spoke to Men’s Health about how he was forced to transform his life after his health deteriorated following the tragic death of his father in 2014. He told the magazine the reason behind the weight gain “had to do with me never properly dealing with the loss of my father.”
“I just kept drinking, smoking, eating bad - the whole nasty - and recording a bunch of songs just to escape the pain,” he explained. “I also had a 90 percent blockage in my throat because of polyps on my vocal cords, and my breathing was bad.”

Despite fears over the surgery on the polyps, he was determined to take action and get his life back on track.
“I ran from the surgery as long as I could, but after that weekend I saw the doctor and he looked at my throat and he said I could die in my sleep. That’s when I got surgery and started to get back in shape,” Busta shared.
