Big Star Johnson, real name Tumelo Rakumako, has taken the plunge to transform his body.  

The rapper took to his timeline on Tuesday to share a recorded video of his first day in the gym while warming up and lifting weights.

"Today is day one of my gym journey or overcoming imposter syndrome journey. I told my woman I am gyming today. It's cold. I don't want to do any of this stuff because all of it makes me feel uncomfortable," he said. 

"All this stuff to a certain extent is traumatic, even thought that's dramatic. Don't have the right gym gear for this weather. I'm not in the mood, I don't even know what I will be doing today, but let's go. This is a very challenging experience."
