AceShowbiz - Fetty Wap is a free man again, at least for now. The "Trap Queen" hitmaker, who was arrested on a drug trafficking charge last month, reportedly has been released from jail after posting a $500,000 bond.
Despite getting his freedom back, the emcee has to obey a few conditions. John Marzulli, a spokesman with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, revealed that the rapper must wear a GPS monitoring device, submit drug testing results, surrender his passport and ask for approval from authorities before traveling.
Fetty was taken into custody by FBI agents on October 28, ahead of his performance at the Rolling Loud Festival in New York. He was arrested on a drug trafficking conspiracy charge at the Citi Field stadium in Queens.
The 30-year-old, along with five others, reportedly trafficked more than 100 kilograms of opioids. Federal prosecutors claimed the men transported and distributed cocaine, fentanyl, heroin and crack cocaine from the West Coast and sold the deadly drugs in New Jersey and Long Island.
The "How We Do Things" spitter, whose real name is Willie Junior Maxwell II, was charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess controlled substances. He's facing life in prison if convicted.
Fetty's last run-in with the law was back in September 2019. At that time, he was arrested for allegedly punching a Las Vegas parking valet at the Mirage Hotel and Casino. He was then detained by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on three counts of battery.
Fetty's recent arrest came after he confirmed his daughter Laura's death in August. "She's good. My baby's happy now," he said during an Instagram Live. Calling Lauren "my shorty" and "twin," he showed a picture of her and kissed it. "That's my little twin right there," he gushed.
