Fetty Wap was arrested on federal drug charges along with five others just as Rolling Loud New York was getting underway.
But according to Vulture, the 30-year-old rapper has been released from custody after posting $500,000 bond on Friday (November 5). He will be under GPS monitoring at all times and subject to random drug testing. Although he’s required to forfeit his passport, he’ll be able to travel if he gets permission from pretrial services and federal prosecutors.
Fetty Wap’s release comes after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released multiple photos of the $1.5 million in cash, 16 kilograms of cocaine, two kilograms heroin and fentanyl pills seized from the alleged drug ring. Drug paraphernalia such as metal pipes and hollow boxes were also confiscated and photographed during the bust.
A press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office confirmed Fetty Wap was charged with “conspiring to distribute and possess controlled substances.” Specifically, Fetty Wap was described as “a kilogram-level re-distributor for the trafficking organization.”
Fetty Wap Arrested On Federal Drug Charges Ahead Of Rolling Loud New York Performance
If convicted, all six — Fetty Wap, Kavaughn Wiggins, Brian Sullivan, brothers Robert and Anthony Leonardi and New Jersey correctional officer Anthony Cyntje — could face a maximum sentence of life in prison.
As Michael J. Driscoll, assistant director-in-charge at the New York Field Office of the FBI, said, “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.”
There is no way MR FETTYWAP was arrested on scene at rolling loud with all that bulldung.
He will be out unless the crew snitches him out.
I hope his not gonna be someones trap queen and have his eye socket used in imaginative ways
was he planning for a big shindig.
I have said all along some of these rappers are allowed to push guns and drugs into our communities.
USA is very corrupt. Some of these rappers are low level crooks others are used as mules and as fronts for money laundering. Lots of drug money gets cleaned through “independent radio promotion” and similar schemes. Not just hip hop either. Been like this in the entertainment industry forever. Watch your step watch who you get involved with if you want to be a rap star
WTH was he gonna have whole “rolling and swerving tour” lit? Cause I know he can’t be that goofy to have that much party favorites on his person. Fetty Wap you got a bestie in the courts to give you bail.
Get it together Black man
naw, everyone knows the government is the biggest drug dealer. and is just ticked that someone was taking a cut. its basically seen as money they lost out on. so of course they have to remove them is all.
?WE ALL KNOW THAT THE CORRECTIONS OFFICER WAS THE RING LEADER. OK??PDUB WALKER
