Fetty Wap has been gearing up to do six years in federal prison for his role in a drug smuggling operation. The rapper reportedly pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine. The rapper won’t be eligible for parole without serving five years of the sentence due to a mandatory minimum.

The rapper won’t be able to open up new bank accounts or financial accounts without receiving approval from federal authorities. Fetty also will have to submit all things he owns to the U.S. Probation Department for a search if there is a reasonable suspicion that he violated his release terms. This includes himself, his vehicles, and his home as part of the possible search.

As part of the release, Fetty must give up DNA samples, which requires his cooperation.

Documents obtained by The Fader reveal that prosecutors in Fetty Wap’s alleged drug trafficking case used his song “Trap Queen” in court. According to the court documents, they referenced the song to back up their request for a longer sentence. They claim that Fetty Wap told the government that the song was about the rapper participating in drug trafficking. Prosecutors also claim that the song’s music video “idealized selling drugs.” They additionally referenced his 2022 song, “Sweet Yamz.” “Yams is code for grams of narcotics, and making significant money (i.e., ‘bands’) from that illegal trade,” they claimed.

“Fetty Wap admitted to the Probation Department that his hit song ‘Trap Queen,’ which was released in 2014, was an ‘ode to a former girlfriend who assisted him a cocaine base distribution operation in Patterson, New Jersey,’” prosecutors said. They added, “The defendant was never held accountable for that conduct, but that does not diminish its significance.” They went on to say, “In the official video for ‘Trap Queen,’ the defendant also enlisted young children who stood behind him while he idealized selling drugs.”

Fetty Wap will be sentenced to at least 5 years behind bars after pleading guilty to a federal drug charge.

Fetty was in court Monday where he pled guilty to one count of intent to distribute controlled substances including cocaine, heroin and fentanyl for his arrest back in October.

Two of his co-defendants, Robert Leonardi and Anthony Cyntje pleaded guilty to the same count, in addition to firearms charges.

According to a rep for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York the 31-year-old rap star faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison. Officials are estimating he’ll serve anywhere between 87-108 months … but he can’t get less than the 5-year minimum.

Rapper Fetty Wap is back in poice custody after the FBI nabbed him for allegedly issuing death threats during a December 2021 FaceTime call.

Prosecutors claim Fetty waved a gun at the person on the other end and threatened to kill the man he described as “a rat.”

Fetty’s possession of the firearm was a clear violation of his release agreement made last October when he was released from custody on a $500,000 bond following an arrest on drug trafficking charges.

The New Jersey native had his bond revoked during his hearing on Monday.
