BUSTA Rhymes has revealed his body transformation after losing seven stone and swapping his belly for a six pack.

Legendary rapper Busta, 51, showed off the incredible fruits of his labour while posing for a jaw-dropping gym snap.

The record producer has adopted a gruelling workout regime in recent months, after being told by doctors he could die without life-changing surgery.

According to a Facebook video from Men's Health, he lost the weight in just one year, having weight 24 stone at the height of the Covid pandemic.

Busta's fans were full of praise, commenting, "Goooo Busta so proud of you well done,” and, “I love this for him. He looks amazing."

He previously told the publication how his father Trevor's untimely death in 2014 caused his health to decline.
