Celebrity dancer and TikTok sensation Moya David has officially begun a fitness journey, yielding to fan pressure following recent online criticism regarding his weight gain.

On Thursday, October 2, 2025, the dancer shared a photo of himself at the gym, signaling his commitment to reclaiming his physique. Moya made light of the situation, acknowledging that the public pushback had motivated the change.

“Day one at the gym, nobody told me losing belly fat is this hard,” he wrote, openly admitting the initial struggle.

Moya David revealed that the decision was financially enabled by a generous fan, admitting he was unaware how expensive keeping fit could be. He publicly thanked the fan, Veronicah, for covering his membership costs.

“Anyway, thanks to one of my fans, Veronicah, who paid for my gym sessions, now I have no excuse,” he stated.

In a playful jab, he also referenced rapper Khaligraph Jones, sharing an old photo of the artist before his famous transformation and jokingly noting that Khaligraph’s gym is now “private.”

Moya’s decision follows a storm of criticism that erupted a day earlier when he posted a dancing video, marking his return to content creation. Fans immediately focused on his physical appearance, commenting that his increased size seemed to be affecting the quality of his routines.

Many viewers felt the dancer, known for his signature effortless surprise performances, appeared to struggle with his once-fluid moves, prompting calls for him to prioritize his fitness to maintain his brand’s signature high-energy finesse. While most comments were focused on health and performance, some fans even speculated if his changed appearance was linked to an illness, highlighting the intensity of the public scrutiny.+
