In the latest episode of our series FUEL, we follow rapper Riff Raff as he works towards his goal of becoming a ripped-as-hell 240-pound Neon Icon. In addition to touring for his most recent album, he's training to become a WWE wrestler with legend Hulk Hogan and needs a diet that will pack on the bulk without weighing him down for the worse. (On Twitter, he has described his signature WWE moves-to-be as "THE AQUABERRY BLAST," "THE NEON KNEE BUSTER," and "LAMBORGHiNi LEG LOCK.")
