Fetty Wap’s Eye: The Real Reason He Lost His Eye

    Everyone always asks, “what happened to Fetty Wap’s eye?” New Jersey rapper Fetty Wap has spoken to a handful of media outlets, since releasing his hit song “Trap Queen.”

    During his press-run, Fetty has answered a wide variety of questions, but he’s consistently dodged one inquiry concerning his missing eye.

    In a new interview with Shade 45’s DJ Self, Fetty finally shut-down the rumors.

    “I tell everybody it’s nothing, because it’s really nothing to me,” he says within the 2 minute clip. “What happened is, when I was little I had gotten into a little accident and it gave me congenital glaucoma in both of my eyes. The doctor saved one, I was blessed to still have my vision. That’s it. That’s the story.”

    Fetty also explained that he allowed the rumors to build-up before he decided to speak on it. Because he grew up in Patterson, NJ, Fetty explained that many people believed he was shot in his eye.

    “I never got shot in my eye, basically it was a prosthesis and the song was getting hotter, the pictures were getting viral, I just let it build up, it wasn’t nothing,” he said.

      1. I LOVE YOU FETTY WAP,AS SOON I FOUND OUT THAT YOU HAD GOT HURT I WAS SO SAD TO HEAR IT.I HOPE THAT RIGHT NOW YOU ARE MUCH BETTER AND MY AUNT KNOWS HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR EYE.Love Aniyah200

    1. he stupid cause he not explaining the accident cause that’s aint the whole story cause it has to be what type of accident to miss one of his eyes

      1. Wait so he is stupid for not explaining the accident? …. This might burst your bubble but that does not make someone stupid.

      1. Thank you for addressing this! I am a nurse and I am very familiar with the term “congenital.” Not only can congenital glaucoma NOT be caused by a childhood accident, but it also does not make sense as to why he’s making it seem as though the glaucoma was the reason for him LOSING his eye. Glaucoma can surely cause blindness, but it would not cause him to lose his eyeball. His story just does not add up.

      1. why do guys have to be so mean hes blessed that he still has 1 eye left and he is cute but at least the
        doctor saved his eye

    2. Why every one hating on Fettywap, he look better than half you niggas, even if his eye is out, i don’t understand, he explained what happened, there you go, atleast we know it was an accident, get over yourselves.

      1. Exactly how I feel…. People are just ignorant and are loving it… who cares a accident is a accident he don’t owe anyone a explanation of details about the dam accident… and it seems like saving one eye is a bad thing according to some of these comments …smh ….

    11. Well thats why I like never knew that at all but he is like still my favorite guy singer except chris brown and am sorry that your eye is like that god bless your heart fetty wap and am I am your number one fan and my other to friends

    12. I think ppl should stop with the frigging rumorsvand speak the truth y’all niggas ain’t know one shit bout d man

    13. I really don’t see y people are starting to make rumors I mean telling other people rumors about something that u said was nothing to u is really in called for.

    14. ohhh buhhh okay juhhh wondering thank god for saving at least one eye.If i wasnt for him (GOD) none of your eyes would not have been save not even juhhh one.

    15. He’s very handsome. I’ve had problems all my life my vision, so I can relate. Thank God the doctor was able to save at least one of his eyes.

    16. I’m glad you have your eyesite still because its a blessing to see the beautiful things in the world that God has blessed us to see. #Amen

    17. Congenital means born with. An accident doesn’t give you a congenital disease. Dumbassesbedumbasses be dumbassin’.

      1. Nigga shut up he made it he don’t really care I’m surprised he even is that brave and confident to do that with his eye perform and everything I would be so embarrassed he is proud I ln himself so stop hating

    18. Fetty I am big fan I don’t care nun bout your eye you still look good I am a huge fan of you and your songs ☺

    19. I like the fact that you got famous for your music, and your eye is no big deal glad you pushed through everything and made it happen.

    20. Congenital means that it was before birth or slightly after birth. A car accident would not give you congenital glaucoma, maybe just glaucoma.

    21. I thought that u had something over ur eye and it was apart of the video. But since i now know wat happened, i really dont care about it. Keep going strong and make music. Your strong bruh!!!

    22. Wtf is he bitching about in his song. I’m in Paterson all day every day. Come out with a normal song. Please don’t represent my town of u gonna cry! Beat is sick. Can’t stabs this crap.

      1. Yo, I see what your saying but if you don’t want him to represent your town then you gotta rep it or at least get someone else who you think is more suitable istead of bitching about it on some website

    23. I wonder why some of these mofos sad about this shit like nigga he decided to do it and be cool as hell doing it no biggie for him and on the other hand he not giving yall bitches no money why df you worried abt him if he not worried bout you is all i gotta say this nigga got HARD ASS MUSIC FOR A NIGGA OUT OF HARLEM

    24. yall fetty wap didnt really get in an accident he actually had glaucoma at 6 months nd he lost one of his eyes

    25. Fetty WAP I like all of your song

    26. Love your music fetty man UK fan Having the the loss of my arm you adapt to it my moto in life is someone else worse off keep up the good work

    27. I think that Fetty Wap is one of the most awesomest people because he was able to stay strong within that length of time you’re awesome homie keep doing what you’re doing.

    30. I think personally Fetty wap is a strong man for what he believes in and still sexy with his inccident of his eye forget what other think

    31. Hey Fetty I respect u for who u are and doing ur caree, if ur a single man I would love to be ur friend cause it’s something about u that other don’t see.. But keep doing ur thing

      1. Hey Fetty I respect u for who u are and keep doing your thing, if ur a single man I would luv to be ur friend. If u have time I would luv to have rapping lessons from u.

    52. I cant stand when people judge because of someone’s looks like damn if you don’t know him or his story stay out his business!!!! He might have one eye but he has millions of dollars and I bet you don’t have half the amount he got in his pocket right now. You have to stop and put yourself in his shoes do you know how many people bullied him?( a lot) but as you can see he passed right through them haters and It isn’t gonna stop so yall haters can stop being childish and grow up now cause he isn’t got time for yall

      1. Wow & u actually believe the Internet saying his eye is fake when he actually just wrote a paragraph & explained Everything !

    61. What an Idiot “Congenital” means It’s a genetic disorder that you can’t get from an accident. How stupid is he?

    62.

    64. fetty wap is such a good singer. i am amazed with his songs and love them so much. i really to see this famous rapper in the future. hope so much that he comes to my country. keep it up fetty sing more cool and amazing music…………….

    65. He is perfect just the way he is. I love his music and his smile makes me want to pass out I love your smile fetty. You are a true idol and I love you

    66. Thts good yuhr doctor saved at lease one of yuhr eyes… Wit or wit out tht eye doesn’t change yuhr personality & yu still look’n fly…wana go to one of yuhr concerts sumtime!!!!

      1. He got Congenital Glaucoma, this is a type of Glaucoma that a child can get from birth-3 years old. Usually hey lose both eyes but the doctor saved one of Fetty’s

      1. DUBBBB LISTEN TO HIS SONG 679 THE PART WHERE IT HAS A DEEP VOICE IT SAY IM A DEVIL WORSHIPER YA BUM AND 1738 MEANS 5:38 IN MILITARY TIME FETTY 5 WAP3 5+3=8 AND 5:38 =EYE FOR AN EYE

    67. Some people say that fetty worships the devil and it all over facebook and my friends say that in all of his songs he talks about the devil to be honest i really love fetty’s music and i don’t think he worships the devil but thats my opinion.

    68. i honestly do love fetty’s music but i really don’t believe that is the real story behind the story of his eye.

    69. Fetty is a the man but in his song 679 he says in the beginning “Imma devil worshiper” listen closely to it and u may hear it

      1. he didn’t know he was born with it until his mom corrected him when he was telling the story to some reporters.

    70. Fetty wap there’s so many haters and you just gotta push past it I deal with my deformality all the time and just keep going thru life I ignore everything they say so good luck I feel sympathy for you so good luck to me and you

    71. It doesn’t make sense. ‘Congenital’ means he would have been born that way, not something that resulted from an accident. Something is very strange about that whole thing if he feels the need to lie about it.

    72. thats good that he dont care what people think about his one eye let him be him if he loves it yall should to he is a very handsome young man

    73. Fetty what i heard was that you traded your eye for illuminatti so what im hearing is true and i know it is cause i do my research so if im wrong you wrong bout the disease so you need to speak the truth lying self and in 679 it said in a very deep voice im a devil worshipper so am i lying or is you lying no i think your lying go get a life…!!!!????

    74. Fetty wapp is the best rapper ever I mostly listen to all of his songs. Like 679,trap queen,again.
      And more songs those are the songs that are the best. Also that I love love love love love to listen to.

    75. Your the best rapper Fetty wapp.Also you are very talented other rapper’s are talented to but I like your songs. I am listing to my way right know.

    76. If u look at Fetty Waps pictures u can see that it’s fake supposedly it’s on his right eye but on his pictures it switches to the left……………

    77. people also say the Fetty Wap gave his eye to the devil because in one of his songs he says he worships the devil I wont believe it till I hear it.

    78. All these famous singers and other famous people are greedy people who want fame so they join the illuminati.Illuminati should die,I’m only a kid and I know this

    79. Getty I love you so much cuz ur awesome hard effort in music I just don’t agree with u and the devil if its even true

    80. Dang fetty i really feel bad about that one eye though it is like why did it had to happen to you i really feel bad when that happen to ppl like you but you keep grinding and i will keep up listening to your hard music bye that i mean yo songs go hard lol big fan

    81. He said he messed it when he was a child and the doctors saved one of his eye I love fetty wap 2 and his songs

    82. I cant believe that you sold eye why the eye i would never sell my eye to devil if its true……????????????????????????????????

      1. well I had a red eye but I know fetty wap is a devil worshiper that’s why I don’t listen to his songs that much.

      2. He ist a devil worshiper but he says it in is song tha hat he aid on a few he said this exact “aye y’all fans and haters I’m not a devil worshiper but in the lateslatest hit I said I’m a devil worshiper but I’m not a devil worshiper please ignore the rumors love my fans”

    83. LISTEN UP: fetty wap is NOT. a devil worshiper he is just a amazing rapper who makes millions everyday, he is telling the truth abt his eye yall just need to shut the hell up and get a life just bc in 679 it sounds like he says “im a devil worshiper”, he doesnt, he says “REMYBOY LIFESTYLE” u guys dont know what the hell ur talking abt so just shut the hell up, yall just jealous bc he can make more money than ur momma and daddy and ur uncle and aunty combined if they worked for him????????????, so just shut the hell up and quit saying shit abt him bc yall know nun abt him????????????????????

      1. Hey um he does ay I’m a devil worshiper he aid it n DA ewd but I honestly don’t care cause the haters on him but he even aid itit on the news gha he can admit to it that he aid it get it rightright

    84. I love it. I’ve seen the blind boys of Alabama live a few years back so, I don’t think that this is a set back, its an advantage for him as far as marketing. I remember watching them go through the audience with an arm on each others shoulder getting through the crowd. That was new, this is nothing new but it is really cool to have some one with an obvious handicap making a big play ground of the rap industry.

    85. You guys are a bunch of uneducated dick riding pussies fetty doesn’t give a fuck if your his #1 fan or how old you are or if you think he’s a devil worshipper if he is then fuck em if he’s not good for him

    86. I’m fetty waps fans. He makes the best music ever. My moms boyfriend says he sings like s*** and I just want to slap him sometimes. You are a great Singer keep making music Fetty Wap. If I had Fetty Waps phone number I’D DIE.

    87. Fetty, no matter what happens u know ur fans will always be there????. We don’t care(at least I don’t) if you loose your eye, ur finger, whatever, you’ll always be u, and that’s all u need to know. Be yourself, everyone else it’s not just him, u too. Your an awesome singer and a role model to many people saying that your dreams can come true, no matter what happens reach for your goal! ????

    88. I love it. If you could make a video of it explaining what happened with a dummy or something like k don’t quite understand it.

    89. no matter how all’ya niggas talk freaking about fetty’s eye, it only makes him feel better because remy boyz don’t have no fuck dealingz wit all ‘ya room ass niggas.#fuck fake comments.

    90. Fetty WAP we will pray for u and no matter wat anyone says keep doing wat u want to do and I’m only 9 but this is coming from the ❤ and I hav all ur music

    91. I am so sorry for you keep strong love your music and I am only 11 but I still will love your music

    92. Congenital means you were born with a condition. What would an accident have to do with that? But big ups that you’re successsful in any case.
