Musician Loses 250 Pounds On So-Called ‘99 Cents Only Store Diet’

A Los Angeles-based musician said he lost 250 pounds on a so-called “99 Cents Only Store Diet.”

Papa Joe Aviance, known for the song “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life”, moved to Hollywood in 2002 and was dubbed the next Biggie Smalls by a record company due to his 450-pound frame.

“I didn’t want to be pigeonholed into that anymore,” he said. “I saw how big I was and I couldn’t believe it.”

Aviance, who was unemployed, said he couldn’t afford a fancy diet.
