Fetty Wap gets 6-year sentence for drug trafficking.

Rapper Fetty Wap, whose legal name is Willie Junior Maxwell II, has been sentenced to six years in federal prison and five years of post-release supervision for his role in a drug-trafficking conspiracy. Maxwell was one of six co-defendants who pleaded guilty after they were accused of conspiring to distribute cocaine and other controlled substances. The group allegedly distributed more than 100 kilograms of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, and crack cocaine on Long Island and in New Jersey over a year starting in June 2019. Maxwell's defense attorney maintained that he participated in the drug scheme because he was financially struggling during the covid-19 pandemic.
