N.O.R.E. is looking good and feeling better than ever at 47-years-old after locking in and getting serious about his health.
Taking to Instagram with a before and after photo set on Monday (March 24), the rapper/Drink Champs host showed off his weight loss as he noted he was aging backwards.
“How do you say Benjamin Button without saying Benjamin Button?! Ha!” he wrote. “Clone back 2025 with the YN twists! Looking younger than I did in [the 1996 Capone-N-Noreaga music video] ‘L.A., L.A.’!! [laughing emoji]”

N.O.R.E. has been committed to bettering himself for some time. Since late 2023, he began documenting his progress with social media posts about his jogs and workouts.

And he switched up his hair as well.
The Drink Champs host took to Instagram last spring to share a video of Fat Joe inspecting his crispy Caesar cut, which marked a drastic change for the previously bald rapper.
The “Lean Back” hitmaker can be seen brushing N.O.R.E.’s thicker head of hair as he repeatedly says, “It’s real!”
The pair then dap it up, with Joe joking about “going to Turkey” and transforming his own bald dome.

“U know it’s bad when ya best friend / brother don’t believe you and think u went to turkey [crying face emojis] this isn’t right !! This my real shit,” N.O.R.E. wrote in the caption.
In a separate post, the “Superthug” MC credited Rewind It 10 — the hair color brand that counts Fat Joe and DJ Khaled as celebrity ambassadors — for his youthful new look.
He later had a laugh about the “fake hair” accusations with Akon at the 2024 BET Awards red carpet.
“They think me and you both got fake hair,” N.O.R.E. said to the “Locked Up” hitmaker after taking off his hat to reveal his crisp ceasar cut. “They jealous of the waves!”

After Akon joined the Queens MC in brushing his waves with his hand, the rapper joked: “We went to Africa, not Turkey.”
