A distribution $\pi \propto \exp(-f)$ satisfies log-Sobolev inequality, does $\exp(-af)$ also satisfy LSI?

Assume a distribution $\pi \propto e^{-f}$ satisfies log-Sobolev inequality (LSI) $$\forall \rho \in P(\mathbb{R}^n), \quad KL(\rho\| \pi) \le \frac{1}{2\lambda} I(\rho \| \pi)$$ with LSI constant $\...
