Numerous developments have been made in the hours since rapper Fetty Wap was robbed while in Paterson, New Jersey.
Although Fetty Wap has reportedly chosen to not cooperate with police about the robbery and shooting, with the hopes of resolving the matter in the streets, video obtained by TMZ shows part of precisely what went down in the deli during the chaotic encounter.
The video, which appears to be from an eyewitness, shows a tussle between two crews, with TMZ identifying both Fetty and Raheem “Fuzz” Thomas, who appears to be holding a gun. TMZ says the footage happened after the robbery, but before the shooting.
A report from The Associated Press says that Fuzz was charged for pistol-whipping a member of Fetty’s camp with a gun he wasn’t legally allowed to have, but that he wasn’t charged in the shooting.

According to TMZ, eyewitnesses revealed that someone in Fetty’s entourage let off the first shot outside of the deli, following the scuffle and robbery. The entourage member also reportedly shot himself in the leg by accident.
The exchange of shots resulted in two of Fuzz’s crew being shot. All three of those shot were hospitalized.
Although Fetty is choosing not to cooperate with the investigation, it appears that Fuzz’s Instagram account did all the snitching necessary for an arrest. He was arrested after authorities came across a photo posted to his Instagram of a man wearing Fetty Wap’s “1738” chain.
Fuzz was arrested despite offering the following disclaimer in the caption to his IG photo: “Just to set the record straight. I personally didn’t take @fettywap1738 chain. I’m not responsible for no one else action but my own. I don’t have a personal problem Fetty Wap. He just a good kid in the way.”

Following his arrest, Fuzz was booked on aggravated assault and multiple gun possession charges.
It was only months ago when Fuzz expressed his issues with Fetty Wap on video. In December of last year, after leaving Sirius XM studios in New York City, Fuzz was captured on video taking aim at the New Jersey rapper.
“Fetty Wap’s lil’ gay ass, man. That nigga’s a pussy. They out here blackballing us and shit … They telling labels not to fuck with us and all that shit … He can’t come out there [Paterson, New Jersey] when I’m out there,” Fuzz said in the video.
He also expanded on his issues in a broadcast last December.
