- Shimza has shared insights into the factors that contributed to his significant weight loss
- Despite facing accusations of using Ozempic for his transformation for over a year, the DJ and producer stated he remained unfazed by these claims because he knew they were unfounded
- This followed a widely circulated video of Shimza that intensified speculation about his weight loss and way of living
In a recent segment of Podcast and Chill, aired on March 12, 2026, Shimza was prompted to speak on the accusations related to Ozempic, which has been widely discussed among celebrities.
Setting the record straight, the Fire Fire artist disclosed that hisremarkable body transformation stemmed from consistent lifestyle changes and a dedicated fitness regimen, rather than relying on a quick-fix pharmaceutical.
“When I was doing those 400 flights last year, somehow, the only thing that got me to lock in was the amount of running I was doing. I would get to a hotel in the morning and, as tired as I was, I would take a one-hour jog, rest and then go to a show.”
Shimza noted that he adjusted his diet, swapping junk food and sugary beverages for healthier options, stating that abstaining from alcohol also contributed to his weight loss.
In a bid for transparency, the DJ revealed that he utilized a weight-loss and energy supplement, which has aided in his weight management and has enhanced his energy during five-kilometer runs.
Shimza emphasized that his experience with social media criticism over the years has toughened him, making him indifferent to ongoing discourse about his weight loss. He asserted that “you will never win,” as opinions will vary regardless of whether one loses weight in a natural or a shortcut manner.
“Before Twitter was big, we were there. I even trended during lockdown for ‘#ShimzaMustFall.’ I understand the psyche of the people who are online. I understand that you don’t have to respond. Yes, you’re human, and you will see what’s being said about you, but if it’s not true, why must you worry?”
