Bone Crusher is setting records these days, but not on the music charts. No, he's set a record for weight loss.
The
Atlanta native, who recently released his sophomore album, has set the weight loss record for
VH1's hit reality show, "
Celebrity Fit Club." He's currently on the show's fourth season and after
16 grueling weeks of strict dieting, intense physical challenges and exercise, he's
lost 43 pounds. And there is still one episode to go.
"Everyone wants to know how I lost all the weight," said Bone Crusher. "I'll tell them it's a lot of hard work and a few of my favorite recipes. I had no idea what I was getting into, but it's a lot of fun. I've changed the way I eat and I'm seeing and feeling real results."
The rapper is currently the captain of his weight loss team,
The Fat Crushers, which includes stars
Carnie Wilson,
Erika Eleniak and
Nick Turturro, who are battling against
Ted Lange,
Tina Yothers, and
Vincent Pastore for the grand prize of $150,000 in cash and prizes.
The final episode is scheduled to air on
October 1, but for Bone Crusher, the experience has changed his whole way of life, even after the show. He now wants to help other people of his stature lose weight.
"I'd like to do a work out tape for big people," exclaimed Bone Crusher. "There's a lot of stuff out there for all the skinny minnies, but nothing for bigger people who are just starting to embrace the weight loss process."
While staying active and eating right is a big focus for Bone Crusher nowadays, he has not strayed away from music. Aside from recently releasing his sophomore album,
Release The Beast, independently, he is also working on a rock/rap effort with the likes of
Jim Johnson of the super producing group
Usual Suspects,
Good Charlotte,
Billy Hume, and
Bread and Water.
"I got a bunch of crazy black boys that like that metal sh--," said the rapper. "That's why we named the band, The Onslaught, and I'm not just rapping on this record, I do a little singing too. It's the perfect mix of rap and rock."
The rock album will be released through his own record label,
Vainglorious Entertainment, which he founded with his wife and manager,
Aneesah Bray. The label has already signed several artists including
6th Day,
Sean Falyon the Great,
Cottimouf and
Priscilla DeVine, who all fall under a wide array of genres including
rap, hip-hop, bluegrass and crunk, among other categories.
In addition, Bone Crusher is slated to appear on the
Tyra Banks Show on
Friday (
September 29), as well as the
Iron Chef America show on the
Food Network as a guest judge.
