Mase Credits ‘Alkaline Diet’ for 70-Pound Weight Loss Transformation
Cam’ron and Mase’s It Is What It Is returned for the fall on Monday (Sept. 2) and the co-hosts didn’t waste any time addressing Mase’s new look.
Mase debunked any Ozempic allegations or rumors of using a weight loss drug to fuel his 70-pound transformation. “You took the needle,” Cam poked at his co-host with a laugh. “So what did you do to lose the weight, man?”
The rapper-turned-pastor brushed off the allegations and explained the new diet a bodybuilder put him on. “That’s the hate I want. That’s the hate I needed,” Mase replied. “I signed up with this coach named Ricky Moore, that’s a professional bodybuilder, and he just put me on the alkaline diet. I’m only eating fruit, vegetables and water for now.”
Cam ultimately expressed he was happy to see his friend turn the clock back with a slimmer figure to go alongside his fuller hairline and whiter teeth.
“You look great, man. You look like back in high school,” Killa said. “I’m happy to see it.”
Fans began debating if Mase was telling the truth on social media. “Comment section sad fr,” one person wrote on X. “I see a bunch of dudes hating on someones progression and speculating stuff vs just genuinely being happy for one of the OGs . I hate social media fr!”
Expect to see plenty more of Mase and Cam this fall with It Is What It Is returning just in time for football season. With O.J. Simpson passing away earlier this year, the co-hosts tapped Dallas Cowboys legend Michael Irvin to replace the late Juice on their weekly NFL spots.
Mase isn’t the only artist facing Ozempic allegations. Ice Spice shut down rumors of taking any weight loss medications last month while on tour sporting a slimmer figure.
“I actually came on here to talk about that real quick. I wish y’all never learned the word Ozempic,” she said in an August Twitter Spaces. “That’s one thing I wish. Oh my God! Like, what even is Ozempic? What the f–k is that? Genuinely, what is that?”
She continued: “You lazy-a– b—–s never heard of a gym? It’s called the gym, it’s called eating healthy, it’s called being on tour. Like, what the hell? Maybe if I was sitting at home all f–king day, it’d be easier to stay big.”
