Fetty Wap: “People Used To Be Scared To Come Up To Me Because Of My Eye”

Fetty Wap says that his left eye, which he lost as a chid because of congenital glaucoma, used to make people uncomfortable.

“People used to be scared to come up to me because of my eye,” Fetty Wap says during an interview with VIBE. “But it’s way different now.”

Fetty Wap, who appears on the cover of the publication’s current digital issue, also discusses Bobby Shmurda during the interview. The New Jersey rapper says that Bobby Shmurda is paying for his actions.

“We’re some young hood niggas that lived a certain lifestyle, and there’s consequences that come with that,” Fetty Wap says of Bobby Shmurda, who, along with members of his GS9crew, faces more than 100 charges including reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a weapon, conspiracy to commit murder in the second degree and criminally using drug paraphernalia. “Right now, he’s doing his time like a G. When that’s over, he’ll come back out and move on. Sometimes you can be far, far away from the hood and this type of shit still follows you. Really, I believe if you were a person known for violence — or every time you go somewhere someone’s gets shot and shit like that, then the cops will really be on you. At all my parties there don’t really be none of that shit. I don’t give the people the opportunity.”
