Fetty Wap has pleaded guilty to federal drug charges in connection to his interstate drug trafficking case. The New Jersey native remains behind bars after having his $500,000 bond revoked in July.
The “Trap Queen” rapper was in Long Island Federal Court on Monday (August 22) where he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess and distribute 500 grams of cocaine, according to the New York Daily News.
The guilty plea comes with a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum of 40 years.
Prosecutors allegedly labeled Fetty Wap “a kilogram-level redistributor for the trafficking organization” when arresting him along with five others before his Rolling Loud NYC performance in October 2021 in Queens, New York.
During the investigation, the FBI obtained $1.5 million in cash, 16 kilograms of cocaine, two kilograms of heroin, fentanyl pills, pistols, handguns and a rifle.
“I agreed with other people to distribute cocaine,” Fetty told the judge. “Guilty.”
Fetty Wap’s attorney, Elizabeth Macedonio, made sure to clarify that his guilty plea does not mean he’s cooperating with authorities.
“He’s not cooperating. I want that to be very, very clear,” she said outside the courtroom.

Fetty Wap — born Willie Maxwell II — posted a $500,000 bond using his Georgia home in November. His bond was revoked in July by Federal Magistrate Judge Steven Locke once footage of Fetty making threats and waving a gun on a December FaceTime call went viral.
“Imma kill you and everybody you with,” court filings alleged Fetty stated on FaceTime.
Fetty remains at a special housing unit in Brooklyn Federal Jail and Macedonio argued that she’s “very concerned” about his housing situation in the “harshest of conditions” and has requested he be transferred, but that will be up to the discretion of the Bureau of Prisons and the US Marshals Service.
Yep. He’s gonna be doing probably 10 years at least. But he was smart to plea since they had him dead to rights. Maybe YoungButtPlugga might want to take notice cuz his whole Young Slurp Life crew is snitching on him right now so he better just cop a plea before they throw the bookshelf (not the book, but the entire bookshelf itself) at him to make an example.
Yeah not feeling the nicknames and shit but throwing the bookshelf at him had me cracking up. Can’t stand young thug but you’re right, he better do something soon or he’s going to be doing big time.
U say u can’t stand him. Why? Do you know him? It’s mind boggling to me how ppl be so invested in not liking ppl they don’t even personally know.
Fam, you can absolutely not like someone you don’t know. Actually knowing the person isn’t a requirement. Especially in this day and age.
Biden is a piece of shit and I don’t personally know him. It happens.
So basically he admitted that being a well known rapper still doesnt pay shit. All the money you see on these videos is either drug money or prop money.
You forgot he only had 1 or 2 hits.
I assume his rap money started drying up and he started flipping it.
Shoot he was probably doing it the entire time.
The man was arrested with 1.5 million dollars cash.
Give him a break on calling him broke. Lol
He is going up the river….
I wonder if he saw this comin….
Add the damage he caused to hiphop and he can get 20 years plus. Thank you.
