Fat Joe needs a new nickname now that he’s dropped 88 pounds!

The 40-year-old rapperis hardly recognizable as he raps to the camera in the new video “Drop A Body” and he did it all without popping a pill or jumping on a fad-diet bandwagon.

“What’s the difference between me and them? Health doesn’t discriminate just because I’m famous,” the now slim rapper told the NY Daily News.

What’s his secret? Replacing fried fatty foods with six small meals of fruit, veggies, whole grains and lean meats with two-hour cardio and weight-lifting.

“I was always LL Cool J in a fat guy’s body” he jokes. “They’re all trying to alter my name, but I can’t see myself as anything else,” he said. “I’m addicted to food; I love food. It’s like a crack addict – he hits rock bottom and he says, ‘All right, forget it. I’m not going to get high anymore.’”
