South African author Jackie Phamotse is impressed with rapper Anatii's weight loss and thought to sing his praises.

Taking to her Twitter (X) page, the controversial writer of The Tea Merchant spilled some tea on her timeline to highlight Anatii's incredible transformation with a message of praise:

"So inspiring! Anati’s weight loss is so healthy."

The 10 Fingers hitmaker admitted to struggling with weight gain for most of his life. After losing much of it in a year, he looks and feels better, according to him.

Briefly News reported on the rapper losing over 50 kg in 2024, helping him build his confidence while also gaining control over his health.

Fitness expert and certified personal trainer Mothusi Maepa told the publication that it was entirely possible to lose that much weight in a year:

"With a consistent gym routine, maintaining a calorie deficit and adequate protein intake, you can safely lose about 1 kg per week. Therefore, it's entirely possible to lose that amount of weight in a year."

Jackie posted a picture of Anatii standing in a kitchen and flexing his muscles, clearly showcasing his hard work at the gym. This continues to receive praise from his fans and peers alike.

Fans react to Anatii's new look

With the growing trend of fat loss treatments in South Africa, online users have grown even more doubtful about many celebrities' weight loss and believe that Jackie's post was riddled with shade.

Stars like DJ Shimza and the Major League DJZ have been accused of using Ozempic or going the cosmetic surgery route to shed the kilos. However, fans believe that Anatii's transformation was unmedicated and surgery-free:

means_respect was convinced:

"Now THIS is gym!"

Razkill_99 threw shade at the Major League DJZ's workout:

"When you lose weight by working out, you don't have to jog next to German vehicles to convince people on social media."

_HenryHP wrote:

"The only man who lost weight and doesn’t look abnormal."

DblazeOnly commented:

"This is not Ozempic."

VUYOrk recalled:

"The funniest thing about his weight loss journey was him jokingly saying in an old interview that people are always shocked at how overweight he was when he was vegan. I guess he finally got tired of the judgment."

DjoyeMahlodi praised Anatii:

"No big O here. Only hard work."

Mthandeni975 slammed DJ Shimza:

"Healthy weight loss, not the Ozempic yabo Shimza engathi amaphara nje."

Briezy_m posted:

"And we've seen him at the gym."

zamkay_tshezi trolled:

"Those Big O merchants will say it’s AI."

kxmog_xlo added:

"A weight loss without the drama."

DJ Shimza addresses Ozempic allegations

In an earlier report, Briefly News shared a video of DJ Shimza finally responding to the rumours that he used Ozempic to lose weight.

After coming out with his new body, social media users weren't convinced that Shimza's weight loss was natural, accusing him of taking the easy way to shed the weight.
