After watching seven of his friends have heart attacks in their 30s, veteran rapper Fat Joe has dropped 88 pounds from his 350-pound frame….the old fashion way.

In an interview with the NY Daily News, the rapper says he decided to make a health change in his life for his 5-year-old daughter Azaryah.

“I can’t leave my daughter behind,” he said. “I want to be here for her; I don’t want to die on her.”

So now the rapper, who once topped the scales at 350lbs, is now about 265lbs.  So what did he do?
