PLAINSBORO, N.J., Nov. 12, 2026
PLAINSBORO, N.J. , Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Novo Nordisk today announced a partnership with DJ Khaled for Wegovy ® (semaglutide). The partnership is personal for Khaled, who has been taking Wegovy ® for weight management since late 2025. Khaled will share his experience, covering topics such as weight loss and fatherhood, his real-life diet and exercise routine, and the moment he knew it was time to talk to his doctor about treatment. Wegovy ® (semaglutide) injection 2.4 mg is a prescription medicine used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to help adults with obesity, or some adults with excess weight (overweight) who also have weight-related medical problems to lose weight and keep the weight off. 1
"I'm sharing more of my routine and the consistency that's getting results," said Khaled. "I've been taking Wegovy ® for a year now and lost 75 pounds, or about 25% of my body weight. My progress, it's something I'm proud of — not just for myself, but what taking these steps means for my family. Being a father, being a husband, doing this for the people who depend on me — that's the real major key. I'm grateful for the journey, grateful for my family, and grateful to share this chapter with the people who've supported me from day one."
This was DJ Khaled's personal experience. Individual results may vary. In a 68-week medical study of 1,961 adults living with obesity or excess weight with a related medical problem, along with diet and exercise, adults taking Wegovy ® 2.4 mg pen on average achieved 15% weight loss (~35 lb, calculated from a 232 lb starting weight), while adults taking placebo lost an average of ~2.5% body weight (or ~6 lb). 83% of adults taking Wegovy ® 2.4 mg pen lost 5% or more weight, compared with 31% taking placebo. In a supportive measure, 30% of adults taking Wegovy ® 2.4 mg pen lost 20% or more weight (~46 lb), compared with 2% of adults on placebo, based on 232 lb starting weight.
The partnership with Khaled, who worked with Novo on the Wegovy ® commercial that aired during the 2026 big game, represents a larger focus for the company to spotlight lived Wegovy ® experiences and inspire open conversation on weight-management medication.
"This collaboration represents a new way for us to connect with people who are navigating their own health experiences. DJ Khaled speaks directly to millions of people with honesty and energy, and we're proud that he's chosen to share something as personal as his experience with Wegovy ® ," said Ed Cinca, senior vice president, Marketing and Patient Solutions at Novo. "We think his story will go a long way in helping people who are thinking about weight-management options to talk with a healthcare professional about the best treatment to help them lose weight and keep it off."
Wegovy ® is the only weight loss medicine FDA-approved to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events, such as death, heart attack, or stroke in adults with known heart disease and with either obesity or overweight. 1

Q&A with DJ Khaled
Why did you start taking Wegovy ® ?
About a year ago I was performing. And you know me. I go hard in everything I do, but this time was different. The extra weight I was carrying was affecting my performance. I had a friend call it out, too. And hearing it from him let me know I needed a change. I was already putting in work — everyone knows I'm all about walk and golf — but that combo alone didn't get it done. So, about a year ago I talked to my doctor and now, along with a healthy diet, it's walk, golf, and Wegovy ® .
Why did you want to share your progress publicly?
Y'all already clocked it. I'd seen the comments, speculation, and the love from everyone. I just wanted to keep it all the way real with my fans and let them know there's no shame in taking care of your weight. When I turned 50 last year, I started a new chapter of more goals, more wins, and more blessings. And managing my weight is part of it — so, no more gatekeeping. I partnered with Wegovy ® to bring people fully behind the scenes into my day-to-day routine and let them know they've got options. So, if someone is thinking about Wegovy ® , they should talk to their doctor and figure out what's best for them.
