Last month, Fetty Wap was released from prison after serving time for federal drug charges. While the rapper was surely eager to get out, he didn't let his stint behind bars go to waste. During a recent appearance on The Tamron Hall Show, he revealed that he got his GED and even took some HVAC courses to make sure he had options.
“I got my GED. I took a few HVAC courses," he said, as seen in a clip shared by The Shade Room. "Oh, yeah, I do a few things." Fetty Wap went on to share that some of the fellow inmates he met influenced him to try something new. "You meet a lot of people that … they had legitimate businesses and making good amount of money,” he explained. “So I’m like, well, he making, like, rapper money. I’ma try that out.”
When asked whether or not he expected to get back to his career as it was upon his release, he said, “No.”

Fetty Wap's Prison Stay
Education wasn't the only thing Fetty Wap was focused on during his prison stay, however. In an interview with VIBE published shortly after he got out, he revealed that he gained 85 pounds while he was incarcerated.
He opened up about the discipline it took to continue his fitness routine behind bars, noting how his children are his motivation. Fetty Wap is reportedly a father of six.
"I like the feeling of the after effect of working out," he told the outlet. "It's more of an 'I did something.' I used to always tell myself, If I could just take an hour out of my day just for self-care … It's a discipline routine... I went to prison like 140 lbs. I came home at like 225. So, 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."
