Controversial media personality Jub Jub sent social media into a tailspin after announcing a shocking new chapter in his health journey: going under the knife.
In a move that few saw coming, the rapper and host of Uyajola 9/9 shared footage of his medical consultation, detailing his decision to undergo liposuction to achieve his health goals and literally cut ties with his belly for good.
Taking to his Instagram page on Thursday, 5 February 2026, Jub Jub posted a video of himself at the Herrwood Medical Centre, a famous aesthetics centre based in Sandton and Umhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal, that offers weight loss treatments, hair transplants, mommy makeovers, and more.
Jub Jub explained that it had been a "rough couple of years" with his belly, and that he was ready to say goodbye, but not the traditional way.

"I got time to maintain it, but I don’t have time to lose it. Even with this, I still gotta maintain a good diet plan."
Footage from the consultation shows the Ndikhokhele hitmaker being prepped for the procedure, with the doctor marking his stomach to map out where they would remove stubborn abdominal fat.

Jub Jub candidly admitted that surgery became his final resort after various weight-loss attempts failed to yield results. This included a stint on the popular medication Ozempic, which he revealed was ineffective for him because he struggled to maintain the strict dietary discipline required for the treatment to work.
"Being a black person, I love meat. You can't tell me to stay away from my meat."
Reports suggest that while the recovery from liposuction happens relatively quickly, the full healing process is a "marathon rather than a sprint." Most patients can return to light daily activities within seven days, but it takes several months for the body to fully settle into its new shape.
Speaking to fitness expert and certified personal trainer Mothusi Maepa, he told Briefly News that to lose belly fat, one would need to be on a calorie deficit and replace simple carbs (white bread, pasta, soda, etc.) with complex carbs (fruits, nuts, vegetables, etc.)
"He would need to focus on high-intensity training and strength training, also ensuring that his protein intake is high," emphasised Maepa.
As expected, Jub Jub’s transparency sparked a massive divide in the comment section, with the lipo vs gym debate reaching a fever pitch.
