Kenyan rapper Khaligraph Jones has stunned fans after revealing a dramatic weight loss transformation.

In a video shared on his Instagram page and seen by TNX Africa, the Mbona hitmaker said he has lost more than 47 kilograms through a strict ketogenic diet and fasting four days a week. On some fasting days, he survives on only water or watermelon.

The rapper has been documenting his fitness journey on social media.

In a clip posted on July 22, Khaligraph was seated in front of a plate of salad as he explained his demanding routine, admitting the process has been difficult but worthwhile.

"So, it's on Wednesday, we have just ended our fast. Those that ask what we eat, this is what we eat. We do fast four days a week. Yesterday I only had watermelons, and that's just a snippet. It is not easy but worth it," the father of four said.

In another clip, he added: "It has been days since nikule as I ate last on Sunday na leo ni Thursday. Nimesurvive on water basically, water fasting. Leo nafungua na a plate of sweet potatoes, banana and chicken."

His slimmer appearance quickly caught the attention of fans and fellow celebrities, including singer Bien, who remarked on his transformation.

"Walai umekonda," the Finale singer wrote.

Khaligraph, born Brian Omollo, responded with his trademark humour. "Wasanii wanono siko kwa iyo group tena, niskie mtu ananiingiza apo tena, ufala sana."

His transformation comes after American music producer DJ Khaled also made headlines for his weight loss.

The Grammy Award-winning producer revealed that walking and playing golf helped him shed weight and move down from 3XL to XL clothing.

"Walk and golf. I want the weight off and it's coming off," DJ Khaled said, adding that taking up to 15,000 steps a day made a huge difference to his overall fitness.
