Fetty Wap Released From Prison Three Years Early
Rapper Fetty Wap, legal name Willie Junior Maxwell II, was released from prison on January 8, having served three of the six years of his sentence, reports Variety. He celebrated his return with a post on Instagram Stories, simply writing “Home” with no image attached. He later shared a longer statement with the outlet, outlining his goals for his life after incarceration. He states, “I want to thank my family, friends, and fans for the love, prayers, and continued support—it truly means everything to me. Right now, my focus is on giving back through my community initiatives and foundation, supporting at-risk young children by expanding access to education, early tech skills, and vision care for young kids and students so they can show up as their best selves. I’m committed to moving forward with purpose and making a meaningful impact where it matters most.”
Fetty pleaded guilty in 2022 to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess cocaine across state lines. He served his time in prison in Minnesota and was scheduled to be released later this year. Per his release, the rapper must follow strict guidelines for the next five years, such as no alcohol, drug testing, and federal supervision when opening bank accounts.
