Fetty Wap Shares Reasons for Reverting to Interstate Drug Trafficking
Fetty Wap is aware of his own tragic story of being a rising rap star who gave in to temptations on the streets and became consumed. The 32-year-old emcee, real name Willie Junior Maxwell II, of Patterson, New Jersey, discusses his decision to go back to interstate drug smuggling and trafficking in an interview with XXL magazine.
He claims that despite having a number of successful records, he wasn’t making enough money in the music business.
“Nobody made me do it. Nobody forced me to do it, you know what I’m sayin’? When I put myself in that situation, I ain’t really think for the long run. I’m thinking I could just run up a few million dollars, and I’m gon’ be good forever. I ain’t never had no financial guidance, and like a person to really guide me the right way. It was just like everybody just didn’t care. As long as they got they money, they just didn’t give a f—, you know what I’m sayin’?”

“When I wanted to start doing s—, this is what I know how to do. It was like, I’m being honest with myself, you know what I’m sayin’? Like, aight, the music wasn’t really doin’ that good. I’m putting out music, but nobody’s payin’ attention. So, I’m like, man, f— it. I’ma go back to what I know how to do. Instead of pursuing my career harder or going harder to make people listen, man, I kinda was a coward, you know what I’m sayin’? Like if I’m fallin’ off, f— it, I ain’t about to look like it, you know what I’m sayin’? I was a coward for that. And I was just like, I can’t let my family down. It wasn’t for the, to be like, ‘I’m outside. I’m outside, n—-, I’m really doin’ this s— for real.’ It wasn’t for none of that,” he added.
In the interview, Fetty admitted that he’s serving a six-year prison sentence, emphasizing that it’s his own fault, taking full responsibility for his actions and not blaming anyone else.
“Some of the things I think about really is being home. I take accountability for everything I did. I don’t really be blaming nobody for nothing. It ain’t nobody else fault that I’m here, you know what I’m sayin’? … That’s how I feel,”
