Fetty Wap, who is currently behind bars for trafficking drugs, has shared a new photograph of himself while locked up.
On Thursday (August 10), the “Trap Queen” hitmaker took to Instagram to share a shot of himself from inside prison that he captioned: “FREE ZOO #1738.” He posted the same image on his Story, writing: “Real made men double M inna spot.”

Incarcerated since last year, the 32-year-old rapper and singer was charged with possession and conspiracy to distribute controlled substances such as cocaine, heroin and fentanyl, among other things.
Several commenters questioned if Fetty had converted to Islam while in prison, presumably based on his shorter hair and the beads he is seen wearing around his neck.

“Damn he done turned muslim already,” one user wrote. Another added, “if he did let he have a clear path to god. Niggas find a issue with not believing in god and when they get closer to god yall still have a issue.”

In early June, Fetty Wap was ordered to turn over both his DNA and bank records after he serves his sentence. According to TMZ, he’ll be required to submit his bank records and tax returns once he gets out of prison, in compliance with the requirements set forth by the U.S. Probation Department.
What’s more, he won’t be allowed to open any new bank accounts without prior approval and will also be required to comply with any sort of search and seizure on everything he owns, from houses to cars, if it’s determined that he violated any terms of his conditional release.
In addition to the stringent restrictions on his coins, he will also be required to submit a DNA sample to his probation officer once he gets out of prison, which will go into CODIS (Combined DNA Index System).
In May, Fetty Wap was sentenced to six years in prison for his role in helping run an extensive drug ring out of Long Island.

The East Coast MC (real name Willie Junior Maxwell II) had been in custody since August 2022, when his bail was revoked following allegations that he displayed a firearm and threatened to kill someone during a FaceTime call.
He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine, for which prosecutors argued for a longer sentence by claiming that Fetty had used his platform to “glamorize the drug trade” while making millions from his music after blowing up in 2015.

“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,” said Breon Peace, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District, who asked for a sentence between seven and nine years.
Fetty Wap’s sentencing came on May 24, when he appeared before Judge Joanna Seybert at the federal court in Central Islip, NY.

He was arrested on federal drug charges at New York’s Citi Field in October 2021 as he was gearing up to take the stage at New York’s Rolling Loud Festival. He was accused of running an extensive drug ring out of Long Island, allegedly helping traffic over 100 kilograms of opioids, crack and cocaine over from the West Coast.
After his arrest, the FBI recovered 16 kilograms of cocaine, 2 kilograms of heroin, fentanyl pills, two 9mm handguns, a rifle, a .45 caliber pistol, a .40 caliber pistol, ammunition and $1.5million in cash.
