Rapper Fetty Wap Released Early From Federal Prison
Fetty Wap was freed 11 months early after serving over three years for drug conspiracy and will focus on community work supporting at-risk youth through education and healthcare.
- On Jan. 8, Fetty Wap was released from federal custody 11 months before his scheduled December 2026 release, returning to Paterson, New Jersey after serving most of his sentence.
- Fetty Wap pleaded guilty in August 2022 to conspiring to distribute at least 500 grams of cocaine, and prosecutors allege a mid-2019 to mid-2020 operation led to his October 2021 arrest at Citi Field for transporting 100 kilograms.
- His mid-2010s hits, including "679", established his mainstream profile, but incarceration paused the career launched by "Trap Queen" even as older tracks resurged in 2025.
- Right now, his focus is on giving back through community initiatives and his foundation, expanding education, early tech skills and vision care, while thanking family, friends and fans.
- Adjustments to his sentence produced the early release and follow recent 2023 album with King Zoo, and Fetty Wap faces five years of supervised release as he plans future public and community activities.
