Fetty sentenced in his drug trafficking case

Fetty Wap has been hit with a six-year prison bid for his involvement in drug trafficking around Long Island. Per the New York Times, Fetty learned his fate on Wednesday (May 24) after Judge Joanna Seybert sentenced him at the federal court in Central Islip, New York.

The “Trap Queen” rapper had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine. Prosecutors had been pushing for a longer sentence for the rapper, arguing that he used his influential status to “glamourize dug trade.”

“Young people who admire the defendant and are considering selling drugs need to be sent a message that selling drugs is not a glamorous lifestyle and, if they participate in that trade, they will receive lengthy prison sentences,” U.S. attorney for the Eastern District, Breon Peace, said.

Fetty Wap was released on a $500k bond but it was revoked last month after he allegedly sent death threats to someone on FaceTime

Fatty Wap gets a trial date in cocaine trafficking case. According to Allhiphop, court documents show that Wap, real name Willie Junior Maxwell II, will be sentenced on January 18 2022 by Judge Joanna Seybert.

Wap and five others were indicted last year for drug trafficking charges. The “My Way” rapper pleaded guilty to conspiracy to posses and distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine. He faces a mandatory minimum of five years, and a maximum of 40 years behind the wall.

FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Michael J. Driscoll said in a statement, “The pipeline of drugs in this investigation ran thousands of miles from the West Coast to the communities here in our area, contributing to the addiction and overdose epidemic we have seen time and time again tear people’s lives apart,”

He added, “The fact that we arrested a chart-topping rap artist and a corrections officer as part of the conspiracy illustrates just how vile the drug trade has become. I want to commend the work of our Long Island Gang Task Force and our law enforcement partners for working day in and day out to get these deadly drugs off our streets.”

Fetty Wap has yet to reveal the tracklist or any singles

It’s been six years since Fetty Wap dropped his eponymous debut album and the rapper is now about to deliver his second studio release. On Wednesday (October 13), Fetty took to Instagram to share the artwork of his new album titled The Butterfly Effect, which drops October 22. 

This comes after a series of posts he made in the past few days that he all captioned, “10.22.2021.” 

The New Jersey rapper saw massive success in 2015 that he hasn’t been able to experience again. His self-titled album was a commercial success and debuted at No.1 on Billboard Hot 100 with over 120k units sold. The album featured Billboard hits like “Trap Queen,” “My Way,” “769,” and “Again.”

Over the years after releasing his album, the 30-year-old rapper has dropped several mixtapes including 2020’s Trap & B, Big Zoovie and You Know The Vibes.
