Kenyan rap icon Khaligraph Jones left fans stunned on November 11 after posting striking before-and-after photos on Instagram.
The images showed his dramatic body transformation, having dropped from 138kg to 92kg.
How does Khaligraph look after his weight loss?
The post, captioned “#respecttheogs,” showed the OG sporting defined abs and noticeably muscular arms, a far cry from the frame his followers had grown accustomed to seeing.
“Aura Farm is just to remind you that you can start changing your life today,” he wrote, adding that his target of 10 per cent body fat was still ahead of him.
What made the reveal even more striking was a clarification he dropped in the comments: the transformation took close to two years of sustained effort, not the short sprint some had assumed.
“This is close to 2 years of consistency, not a few months as some bloggers will want to make you believe, Feb 2025 vs Nov 2026,” he wrote.
How Khaligraph shed weight
The rapper had previously tipped the scales at between 137kg and 138kg before committing to an overhaul of his diet and training.
A landmark moment came in August 2026 when he celebrated hitting 99kg, disclosing it was the first time he had been below 100kg since his second year of high school. His approach combined several methods.
He practised intermittent fasting up to four days a week, sometimes relying on water and watermelon before breaking his fast with light meals such as salads.
He also adopted a ketogenic diet built around clean foods like sweet potatoes and apples, alongside regular gym sessions and strength training.
