Fetty Wap sentenced to 6 years for drug conviction.

Rapper Fetty Wap, whose real name is Willie Junior Maxwell II, has been sentenced to six years in prison by a Long Island federal judge for his involvement in a bi-coastal drug ring. He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess and distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine. The hip hop star and five others were accused of driving to Long Island about six times in the spring of 2020 and buying kilograms of cocaine then sold in New York and New Jersey. Prosecutors claimed he was a "large-scale narcotics trafficker" who "continues to use his fame, sizable platform and influence to glamorize the drug trade."
