News: Bone Crusher sets a record on weight loss
The Atlanta native has set the weight loss record for VH1's hit reality show, "Celebrity Fit Club." Not long ago this rapper has released his sophomore album. 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."
Though loosing his weight is so important for him nowadays and he stays staying active and eating right Bone Crusher can't leave his music. He released his sophomore album lately, 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."
Bone Crusher is going to release his rock album 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.
