Fetty Wap has revealed he gained 85 pounds after spending three years behind bars.

The 34-year-old rapper was released from prison on January 8th after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess and distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine.

He was sentenced to six years in May 2023 but was released from prison three years earlier than planned.

During a recent interview with Vibe, Fetty opened up about his time in prison and what led to him putting on so much weight.

The New Jersey rapper said that pushups, pull-ups, dips, squats, and lunges were part of his prison routine, without lifting any weights at all.

Speaking on his routine, he said, “I like the feeling of the aftereffect of working out. It’s more like, ‘I did something.’ I used to always tell myself, ‘All right, if I could just take an hour out of my day just for self-care.’ It’s a discipline routine. You discipline yourself to do something.”

He added, “I went to prison at like 140 pounds. I came home at like 225. It was a discipline for me to get there. I had it in my head like, ‘I want to see what I look like, like this.’”

Fetty served his time at FCI Sandstone in Minnesota. Following his release, he said, “I want to thank my family, friends, and fans for the love, prayers, and continued support – it truly means everything to me … I’m committed to moving forward with purpose and making a meaningful impact where it matters most.”

During his time in prison, Fetty revealed that 50 Cent did a lot for him, providing both financial and mental assistance.
