Fetty Wap

Willie Junior Maxwell II (born June 7, 1991), better known by his stage name Fetty Wap, is an American rapper and singer. He quickly rose to mainstream prominence in late 2014, after his song “Trap Queen” was re-released as his debut single for 300 Entertainment, an imprint of Atlantic Records. The song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and was followed up with the singles “679” (featuring Remy Boyz) and “My Way” (remixed featuring Drake), each saw similar chart success throughout 2015. The trio of hits—along with his single “Again”—preceded the release of Fetty Wap’s eponymous debut studio album (2015), which peaked atop the Billboard 200 chart. During this time, he became distinctive for his melodic blending of singing and rapping, lighthearted lyricism, “bouncy” production, and exclamation of various catchphrases such as “1738!”In 2016, he saw moderate success with his follow-up singles “Jimmy Choo” and “Wake Up.” That same year, he was featured on Fifth Harmony’s single “All In My Head (Flex).” In 2018, he released the single “Keke” (with 6ix9ine and A Boogie wit da Hoodie), which marked his latest appearance on the Billboard Hot 100, as of 2023. In 2022, he received a six year prison sentence for trafficking illegal substances. Fetty Wap has received two Grammy Award nominations throughout his career, and won the 2016 awards for “Best New Artist” and “Top New Artist” for the iHeartRadio Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards, respectively.
