Busta Rhymes is celebrating after he shed over 60 pounds over the past few months.

On Monday, January 6, the revered rapper and actor posted a photo of himself while standing shirtless in front of a mirror. According to TMZ, Busta lost 64 lbs. after the 52-year-old artist switched his lifestyle up last fall. He reportedly hired a chef to make healthy meals and help keep him on track while he was on tour last year. His commitment to a rigorous gym schedule also contributed to his body transformation. The outlet also reported that his health journey also helped him land a Christmas campaign with Walmart.

Busta Rhymes posted the stunning results of his weight loss a few hours before he made his way to "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." The New York native and his longtime hype man Spliff Starr served as the musical guests for NBC's late-night program. Busta began the performance with "Unleash Me," which is set to appear on his upcoming album Dragon Season. His medley continued with his verse from Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now" and ended with an energetic version of "Do the Busabus Pt. 2."

The 12-time Grammy nominee announced the plans for his 12th studio album last October. In an Instagram post, Busta Rhymes shared a teaser for the album and announced the official title. A week later, he released the lead single "Unleash Me." Since then, Busta has appeared in collaborations with Ice Cube and his son Trillion.

Dragon Season drops on January 17. Watch Busta Rhymes and Spliff Star perform on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" below.
