“I lost 100 pounds, so I’m back at my fight weight. I’m ready. The champ is back.”

The Houston rapper revealed that he tried so lose the weight the natural way, but after reaching 320 pounds, couldn’t shed the fat. “[The surgery] saved my life for real,” he explained. “I really didn’t have too much of a choice, because the doctor told me I was morbidly obese. So, I really didn’t have a choice. I was like ‘Man, I’m morbidly obese, I need to do something. Man, I got to save my life.’ “
Now Wall has his eyes set on his latest release, Heart of a Champion, which his set to drop July 13. The album features production from the Neptunes and Travis Barker, and features guests such as Jay Electronica, Raekwon, Jim Jones and Kid Sister, in addition to others.
