Fetty Wap Will Remain Behind Bars
As it stands, it appears that Fetty will be remaining behind bars until 2027. He previously described his decision to sell drugs as “cowardly” during an interview with XXL in 2023. “Nobody made me do it. Nobody forced me to do it,” he admitted at the time. “When I put myself in that situation, I ain’t really think for the long run. I’m thinking I could just run up a few million dollars, and I’m gon’ be good forever. When I wanted to start doing shit, this is what I know how to do. It was like, ‘I’m being honest with myself.’ Like, ‘Aight, the music wasn’t really doin’ that good’…. Instead of pursuing my career harder or going harder to make people listen, I was a coward… and I was just like, ‘I can’t let my family down.’”
In the same interview, Fetty credited 50 Cent with helping him find ways of maintaining a steady income legally. “He started showing me different ways, like shit to invest in,” he recalled. These days, Fetty is residing at at FCI, Sandstone prison in Minnesota.
