Busta Rhymes has showed off his incredible weight loss transformation.

The hip hop legend, 48, took to his Instagram account on Friday to post before and after pictures of his body that revealed a huge difference.

He lifted up his top to show off his toned stomach in the photo, which had been taken in a gym where he'd clearly been working hard.
