Media personality and reggae MC Talia Oyando has opened up about her ongoing weight loss journey, revealing that she has been using medically supervised semaglutide shots as part of her transformation.

After debuting her new look in a series of photos shared on Instagram, fans flooded her comments with mixed reactions — some praising her new figure, while others speculated about the method behind her transformation.

Talia, who has been open about her struggles with weight and a long-term knee injury, explained that her decision was not driven by vanity but by a medical necessity.

She revealed that doctors had advised her to reduce weight to avoid surgery and manage her condition safely.

“Having a busted knee also doesn’t help, and to avoid surgery, I need to lose weight, get on physiotherapy, keep my nutrition, and stay focused,” she previously shared.

Speaking about her new treatment plan, the media personality clarified that semaglutide was not a cosmetic shortcut but part of a carefully supervised health journey.

“This is more than just a treatment; it’s the beginning of a transformation. Semaglutide isn’t a quick fix; it’s a medically supervised tool that curbs appetite, balances blood sugar, and supports sustainable weight loss,” she said.

 Kenyans React to Talia’s Transformation

After unveiling her slimmer look, fans expressed a mixture of admiration and curiosity. Some praised her discipline and courage for prioritising her health, while others urged caution regarding medical weight-loss solutions.

One user commented, “Don’t trust all wellness clinics. Many are there for money and money alone,” while another added, “Am I the only one who thinks she still looks good after cutting weight? Kenyans will talk no matter what.” Others congratulated her, saying, “You look amazing — well done for taking care of yourself.”
