Singer and rapper Cordae has been on a weight loss journey recently. The Grammy-nominated artist, who is also the long-term boyfriend of three-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka, shared a look at his progress on social media this week. And as he explained in the "before and after" post, he sees these outward physical changes as a reflection of the mental, emotional and creative changes he has been making inwardly.
"While creating this forthcoming album, I was forced to elevate myself in mind, body, and spirit," he wrote in the caption of his transformation photo on Instagram. "Ive become more self-reflective and self aware than ever. While my vessel has improved, its nothing compared to my mind, spirit and soul which has reached even greater heights. Still growing, still getting better day by day."
While some comments on the photo were predictably negative, focusing on how Cordae looked before, the majority of responses were expressions of support and encouragement from his fellow musicians. "Yessir!" wrote pianist Robert Glasper, while songwriter Gizzle said: "Lets go lil bro. Im proud of you ". Actor and rapper Common, meanwhile, wrote" "Great work! Health is wealth."
After securing two Grammy noms in 2019 for his debut album The Lost Boy, Cordae told Billboard that he was still very much at the beginning of his journey, which this recent "elevation" certainly seems to illustrate. "I still have so much more shit I'm about to do, so much more shit I'm about to accomplish, so many more barriers that I'm about to break through," he said. "I'm just tapped in to my shit."
