Fetty Wap gets 6-year sentence for drug trafficking.

Rapper Fetty Wap, whose legal name is Willie Maxwell, has been sentenced to six years in federal prison for his role in a New York-based drug-trafficking scheme. Maxwell pleaded guilty in August 2022 to a conspiracy drug charge that carried a mandatory minimum sentence of five years. He apologized for his actions and said he turned to selling drugs because of financial hardship brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Maxwell and five co-defendants were accused of conspiring to possess and distribute more than 100 kilograms of heroin, fentanyl, and crack cocaine between June 2019 and June 2020.
