COVID-19 pushed me; Fetty Wap pleads as he gets jailed 6 years for selling drugs

Fetty Wap has been sentenced to six years in prison for selling hard drugs in New York.

The rapper, whose real name is Willie Junior Maxwell II, was charged with making roughly six trips to Long Island in the spring of 2020 in order to purchase kilograms of cocaine, which he then allegedly sold in New York and New Jersey.

According to federal prosecutors, the American rapper is one of five people charged in the case. Fetty Wap is said to have personally dealt 25 kilograms of the drug in the Garden State.

The “Trap Queen” rapper, 31, entered a plea of guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess and distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine in August 2022.

Speaking at his sentencing in Long Island federal court, he told the judge that “I always aimed to lead, I ended up hurting the community, hurting the people who look up to me, hurting my family, hurting my children, hurting myself.”
