What Is Going On With Kevin Liles!!!

: MediaTakeOut.com has noticed that in recent months Kevin Liles, former head of Def Jam, has lost a disturbing amount of weight. The below pics show Kevin a little over a year ago (left) and a few days ago (right).

We've tried to figure out what's wrong with him - asking all our usual sources - but everyone is pretty tight lipped about it. He's been an asset to the world of hip hop, so we really hope everything is alright...

Darknlovelync

WELL, MAYBE HE GOT TIRED OF CARRY AROUND EXTRA WEIGHT AND DECIDED TO LOSE IT, MAYBE BY SURGERY OR MAYBE DIETING AND EXERCISING WITH A PERSONAL TRAINER...SO WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY MTO?


Joeswifey32

It looks like he took the Russell Simmons diet. Or have we all forgotten that Russell was pretty thick at one point and time.

BigTerribleTexas

Rar1Ty

ROCNMON

WHAT YA'LL FAIL TO REALIZE HE HAS A YOUNG GIRLFRIEND, HER MANE IS SANDY LOMAX(SHE USE TO DATE MY COUSIN BACK HEAR IN MARYLAND)BUT SHE LEFT HIM FOR KEVIN LYLES. SO KEVIN HAS TO KEEP UP WITH HER BECAUSE SANDY IS REAL PRETTY AND HE HAS TO STAY IN SHAPE. KEVIN IS IN HIS LATE 40'S AND SANDY IS 34 OR 35, BUT SHE'S A SWEETHEART. YOU CAN GO TO THE INTERNET AND TYPE IN "SANDY LOMAX" AND HER NAME WILL COME UP, I KNOW SHE WILL NOT READ THIS BUT SANDY MUCH LOVE TO YOU FROM MY FAMILY. LENA


Lockstress

Damn...what in the hell happened. It wasn't like he was obese or anything like that. Star and AL needed to lose the wait...he just looked like he wanted to lose weight. That is not a healthy glow at all. Hmm? This is some real sh*t that makes you wanna say hmm.


liquid_isis

Well like we say in the hood, he could have that "pack".


I_Candee

30isthenew20, where are you from?

Yeah, this is a mess.


calidiva

I say Gastric Bypass Sugery.All day long. Remember how Star Jones and Al Roker looked. Like [EXPLETIVE].


samantha

stophatin129

Good for him. THe before picture was the nonhealthy picture. Allhte weight causes diabetes, heart desease among our brothers! He probably did the by-pass surgery.


Valthea

Cant u see the man lost some weight is that a bad thing if he dies now MTO that will be the story


Africanbro

The definate signs of the M.O.N.S.T.E.R!!!! if ya'all know what i mean...look at the skin all unhealthy....well Mr. Liles...i pray for you.


SEXYVIXEN

He looks much better. I bet he feels better too.


isittootight

I like him better big! EWWWWWW!! He looks older than his age and he also looks very sickly! Whatever happened to losing weight the old fashioned way...proper eating and exercising?


tanto07103

princessof_la

He did this one for the Boyzz.. *snap* Real women do NOT want a frail a** man.


j

THAT IS THE SAME PERSON LOOK AT TEH EYES SAME SMILE CHEEK BONES HAIR LINE ALL THAT DIFFERENT CONTRAST IN THE PICS BUT DAMN HE LOOKED BETTER BIG ALL I CAN SAY IS STRESS OR CRACK


sweetc

The man lost weight, DAMN!!!!!! Why the hell is it something negative or sinister when someone starts to take their health seriously with excerise and eating healthy and shedding the 75 extra pounds that was probably contributing to high blood pressure and high cholesterol and seriously limited his fashion choices???? Damn give it a break,,,,


nycz

Hmm...looks a bit strange for him to lose so much weight in so little time gastric bypass?...drastic diet?...HIV? ;x


od26

News flash all u damn idiots, obesity is now considered a medical condition, so if u have insurance and u are obesity u can have the gastric bypass surgery payed for by your health insurance, everybody doing it now, I know like 3 people who just had it and some of them were only overweight by like 75 pounds. Only problem is yo ass cam die from that [EXPLETIVE]


iluv2boyz

The man looked so happy, and a little sexy with some weight on him. Now he looks like a shriveled up old man.

People when you lose weight please don't try to get back to the size you were when you were 18 or 20. It does not work. It gives you a sick or crackish look.


strongblackwoman

Damn!!!!! that was a hellified diet!

[link to external website removed]


prettychick24

Damn!!! That isn't Gastric Bypass. You can usually tell when its Gastric Bypass because a persons face is kind of saggy especially their neck. He looks really thin. I don't understand why he would want to lose weight, he looks good in the first pic.

Either Kevin has manorexia, or he has the secret to weight loss that no one knows about, or he has that package that is wrapped in a pretty red bow that NOOOOO ONE WANTS? I'm confused. SOS.


mzmochaj

Nobody said it was something negative! MTO just said they wonder how he did it and they hope he is healthy. People can have all kinds of health issues to make them lose weight. But whatever he did, that right there is enough.



kenja

Kevin did, in fact, have a gastric bypass some time ago.


Lockstress

Whew...I was gonna say Cocaine is a helluva drug! And why gastric bypass? He wasn't looking obese. He just looked like he put on some weight(age) These celebrities are always looking for a quick fix solution. Just hope he didn't hurt himself by getting it done. HE DOES NOT LOOK HEALTHY AT ALL.


SheATrip

I hope it's gastric bypass. He may have been considered a little too big before, but now he looks a little too thin.


EBENE

Sooner or later MTO will say he has AIDS.


drburke

Here we go. another put down on something we know absolutely nothing about. We immediately think negative, such as, crackish, drugs,monster, gstric bypass, or chronic alcholic.when will we at least try and show some respect for each other. Perhaps, he chose to lose weight, perhaps, it a medical problem, (diabetes, liver damage, multiple scelerosis,crones disease, or another medical situation (no not that one) either way it's none or our business. Respect his privacy until he tell you what it is.


strongblackwoman

dr. burke that is what blogs are for, if you can't stand it go elsewhere...

[link to external website removed]


blakbarbi

He look a lil too skinny. Da [EXPLETIVE]! Im all for weight loss if you need it and he may needed it a lil bit but now....can you say cancer!!!


yellowgirl

Gastric Bypass Surgery or Lap Band surgery. Shut up Mrblackman LOL. Email2Michael, you know you low down for that.


SexyVirgo

I swear some of you are idiots.....the man had health issues and got gastric bypass surgery.....I guess you think Star Jones and Al Roker are on crack or have AIDS too huh? A bunch of fukkin idiots.


Goodhope247

It bothers me that everytime somebody gets smaller you think its HIV. That's like a huge stereotype that bothers me. There are normal sized people with HIV, along with Bigger, and smaller.

I don't understand why some don't accept that being healthy means you have to lose weight. Being big isn't healthy! If you talking about high blood pressure, diabetes, possible heart attacks. WE as black people have the odds against us when it comes to being overweight we are proned to so much more then others.


lilmissnosey

thank you for posting that LENA (tastyme), kevin has lost the weight so that he can healthier and he is doing fine not so everyone needs to stop saying that he has a disease or he is on drugs!! san is young and beautiful (thats my cuz so of course i am biased), and she and kevvie and happy and healthy. p.s. sandye does read this because i send her the stories whenever something is posted about him- lol!! oh yeah, are you realated to M.P.??


Auriel

Strongblackwomen,

Did you just say that blogs are for putting people down and thinking/saying the most negative things possible about them? Please tell me I misunderstood you.


MissEducated

Well, he looks happy (he is smiling a genuine looking smile ya'll)...There are a number of reasons why he is thinner than he was...Diet and exercise can definately be a factor, so can gastric bypass or the lap-band...Whatever it is, i hope he's happy with the results and happy with himself...Being overweight is not healthy and should not be glorified..And this is not coming out of some skinny chic's mouth..I am overweight and am working on getting healthy.

"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet." ~Aristotle Miss. Educated


strongblackwoman

Auriel yes you did, blogging is for discussing, and if a person don't care for something or about a person they have a RIGHT to write about whatever they feel, and if its criticizing someone in a bad way or putting others down so be it, its up to the individual to log onto sites such as MTO if they don't care to read b*s* such as people knocking others, as for me, to each its own, I only comment to state my personal opinion, and why take away someone else's because they don't agree...
