Fetty Wap's Unexpected Demise (Billboard #1 to 40 Years in Prison)

i just realized I missed the opportunity to make the video 17:38 in length..

Nobody will ever forget Fetty Wap's Legendary 2015 to 2016 run

One of his issues was that his circle was too big, sometimes you can’t bring everyone with you despite how much you love your people.

For those who didn't know his last album The Butterfly Effect wasn't supposed to be his come back but had plans to make a more hit album afterwards the album was actually a tribute to his late daughter who passed away in June, 2021 and a thank you to his still loyal fans. And the incident where he was on bond and told the man he was going to kill him was for talking on his daughter disrespectfully which I feel was also left out.

He was a genuinely good person caught in bad situations and friends. It's so sad watching a person who genuinely just wanna help get turned on like that

This legitimately makes me sad… when Fetty first got big, I was obsessed with his music. A ton of his songs remind me of some of the best and the worst times in my life. Learning lessons for sure. “No dayz off” was my work jam. I literally listened to it every single day. It breaks my heart he went in this direction… the man has some talent. I’d love to see him come out back on top after he serves his time. Smarter and better than ever. I never knew any of this… but it sucks! He needs to stop looking for validation from everyone else and be secure in himself and his talent. It seems like all these people leeched off of him and left him in the dirt.

Hearing this story makes me sad. I thought dude was stupid and ignorant. It actually sounds like he has a huge heart, and was taken advantage of. I personally am not the biggest fan of his, but I hope he can make it out and get his life straightened out.

This happened to me and taught me a big lesson. Everyone can't go where you're going. "friends" can be your downfall. They milked him dry while conspiring. It's sad

Everybody watching this video we can all go help fetty out and stream his last album, considering what a genuinely kind human being he is. Look how many people he took care of and they all took advantage of him. I know he learned his lesson from that he still has a lot of learning to do as we all do.

Fetty’s first album to me is a masterpiece. Each song is a hit, 10/10. Loved his voice and his sound. My friends and I would always joke and call ourselves the Remy Boyz. I loved his music and it seemed like he was a very down to earth man who wanted the best for his friends. It’s just unfortunate how everything turned out and the choices that were made which were mistakes. My friends and I patiently await for his return and still think he has the potential to make it big.

He seems like a humble generous loyal guy who worked hard for his friends/family to live the life he had sad to see him on a downwards spiral

This is actually really sad. He seems like such a sweet guy

This is why you gotta leave the hood boy’s completely. Yeah build a kid’s club for the youth and donate to your town but don’t go bk and definitely don’t put others careers before yourself. I hope he gets out and can live a happy life 🙏🏼❣️

He always seemed like a really genuine guy.

Fetty is a great example as to why you should never be too kind. Some people will find ways to exploit kindness for their own benefit, doesn't matter if it's friends or family. I hope a miracle happens and he gets out early.

I followed him since the beggin ,he started to go down when they delayed that album for like 4 years,when he released it nobody cared anymore,another step was that he was working only with his homies that aren't tallented like him ,so it was a lot of factors ,he could do better if he was doing features with know artists and releasing music more constant.Sorry for the bad english.

Honestly this young man was extremely humble and talented but his mistake was trusting people it’s sad I pray that things get better for him he didn’t deserve what happened to him stay up fetty 🙏🏽💜🙏🏽💜

i love fetty wap so much and this makes me so sad. in the depths of my addiction i was in jail and trap queen was really popular, someone scratched trap queen into the door in my cell and it was constantly on repeat in my head the whole time. this makes me feel i should write him and send him love. i can only imagine how sad and lonely this sentence must feel.

Damn man, imagine finding out that Beyonce personally wanted to take you on tour with her and your manager declined. That dude was stupid; with how loyal Fetty was, and with how he constantly wanted to bring his boys up with him, have Fetty do the tour and grow even more with Beyonce.
That would have just been even more eyes Fetty could have brought on to the rest of the guys once Fetty did his own tour. Nitt just didn't want to wait a little longer and play the long game.
Fetty was; "When I get big, we all get big. "
Nitt was; "We all get big at the same time or none of us do." Dumb as hell.
(Of course that is if that's how it really went down. I just have a hard time believing Fetty would have been the one saying "all my boys get on the bill or I ain't going" as surely he would have known the growth it would have done for all of them)

Fetty has a big heart. As successful as he was, he always stayed humble and loyal to his friends. He worked hard to put everybody on. It's sad that out of everybody he helped, nobody was looking out for him. The people he gave the most worked the hardest to bring him down. Nitt is the slimiest tool I've ever seen, I hope he gets what's coming to him.

Sigh I wish things were different for him. He seems so sweet 😔😔

I loved his music and 2015 was a great year and a lot of fun. I thank him for the great music. If he really did those drug crimes, he deserves to be locked up. Too bad. I really hope he is being set up.

He's still got a loyal fanbase, including me. I bump Butterfly effect heavy

imagine being so rich you could retire comfortably for entire life and then you get 40 years in prison from shenanigans

All I got from this is that the music industry, like every other industry in this country, is a disgusting, venomous meatgrinder.
Any industry, any society, where it's a bad thing to take your community and your people with you along the road to success is not one that is worth preserving.
I only knew about this dude through cultural osmosis. I don't like his style of rap. I now have a massive amount of respect for him. Black communities need men like him but of course that's why the prison system exists.

I’m from Paterson NJ , and I remember when Fetty first started blowing up with Trap Queen and 679, we were like damn this guy is gonna go far, fast forward a year later he was the biggest artist on the globe. It’s sad to see what has happened now to such a great artist,

First mistake anyone can ever make when they get rich is having one accountant
I really hope things work out for Fetty, pretty humble guy... Good people without boundaries always get taken advantage of!

Dang man 🙏🏽 he comes back around to get back what he put out into people

being” real” and kind(good guy) will ALWAYS get you fuckd over , always

I don’t know half the people you cover but I love watching these videos. Very well made.

This one hurts...I actually liked the kid. I hope things change for him

I’m glad he making a come back now❤️

It was actually kinda scary to me how he went from being everywhere, like you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing his name or one of his songs, to just dropping off the face of the earth. I definitely thought he had died and I had just somehow missed the news about it

It was actually kinda scary to me how he went from being everywhere, like you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing his name or one of his songs, to just dropping off the face

Fetty wap has always been one of my favorite artists to this day…he’s so talented and unique and people only hate on him bc he fell off on all ts

I’ve always loved Fetty. It’s so sad as a kid he was bullied about his eye. He seems so sweet and down to earth and just like he was really tryna make the right thing happen. Why did he think he couldn’t live off music and have to resort to stupid drug shit 😢

He came to a weird small venue near my college in Sept 2017, he didn’t come out for well over an hour & ppl were booing and my friends and finally left. I guess he finally came out on one and sang 1 song 🫠

fetty was too real for the rap game

Hey man that can admit to his own failures is an attribute to be respected. He seems to be a genuinely good guy just around the wrong people.

My brother was truly blindsided by these events. I hope the money is with the family and that the family's out of the life

I totally definitely 💯 do NOT know anything more about this guy, then what I just learned here. But from what I just saw, I wouldn't say his "ego" or greed, or whatever, it truly sounds like he was genuinely good dude who wanted to do right by his friends and that was what brought him down

I legit NEVER heard any of those songs before I saw you mention them in this video. I am really proud to say that. :)

I had no issue sitting through this 17 min long video. Great delivery and voice you got there
👍

Even though Butterfly Effect didn’t have any “hits” I still think it was a pretty solid album. It just not what you expect from fetty.

2015 you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing one of his 5 hits playing

I honestly don’t know how to feel after this one. The nastogia this brings as well as hearing him talk and learning about his story was incredible, he seems like sucha generous humble dude. However the ending with drugs and getting locked up kinda made this whole story pretty sad… needa happy ending in the next one Patrick

I've been making fun of this dude for years and now I feel like a total a****** because he seems so real and so genuine. He admits that he played a big role in his failure. For normal person to admit that can be very difficult and for a famous person on his scale at the time to admit that is an even bigger and more difficult thing to do. Props to him. Seems like a really cool guy. I hope his kids are doing good.

I respect his game he reminds me of DMX he wasn’t going to be no puppet it wasn’t about the money he wanted be him but some time you have to leave the hood behind you can visit but people are jealous envious and snakes.

Damn man this is just sad and Fetty seemed like a geniune guy too.

The lesson here: Always pay attention to your circle!

The downfall is he was too generous and because of that generosity it led to people taking advantage of him sometimes it gets to a point where you will need to help yourself before others

He tried to help too many people who were just taker. Take care of yourself first.

I'm from Paterson bro...the audacity of you to speak the aforementioned mans name in such a manner has left me awestruck...

So crazy, these artists could invest their first check to be able to retire for life and they spend it ALL time and time again. It's crazy to think about.

We’re originally from the same city and ending up moving to the same suburb. That man saved up zero and I got tired of seeing his cars getting repoed. He hustled cause he fumbled the original bag

40 Years?
He's going to jail for 5, this was stated way in August.

Wow I never knew this about fetty. He’s a loyal, genuine person 😢

His last big single was Love The Way... then again Yams getting some traction

This change my whole outlook on Fetty... I hope when he gets out he change his whole outlook on everything and move away. Get his life back on track

I saw him live in 2018, such a good time ngl

Poor fetty! 😭

He's one of them good sounding rapper. Such a shame he plummeted down. The people who he calls "real friends" abuse his kindness and justuse him as ATM.

He had chance in life for all he likes and chose wrong path after he was lucky to make it after bullied sad story 😢

You know. I'm sorry to say this. He should do the time. He knows how to escape the hood and hood related garbage. He almost purposely did himself dirty

I used to "hang out" in Ptown back in 2012-2014. I was addicted to opiates at the time and Patty was the cheapest place to score. (Sober now for 6+years) I can say from experience, that area is cutthroat and dangerous. The criminal lifestyle is ingrained into everyone out there. From grandmas to 12year old kids, you'd be surprised to find out how many of them are involved in some aspect of shady activity. It's a shame, but it's extremely hard to avoid in a place like that. Patty is essentially a port for heavy weight distribution of narcos, so it became a hotbed for all types of nefarious activities.
It's the type of place where if you walk down the street without purpose or look out of place, you will get approached and it can end very badly if you don't handle yourself appropriately.
When FettyWap started gaining more mainstream traction, I was proud that he was not only making a name for himself and the town (non drug related) , but also seemingly bringing his boys along with him for the ride. He seemed like a decent dude and I enjoyed his music. It's a shame that both his music and finances were not managed correctly. I wondered what happened to him since he disappeared and since I haven't dared to go back there in many years to hear the story directly.
Thanks for spreading the information. ❤ Love all your videos too! You always upload such well-executed projects on a wide variety of intriguing topics. 👍

He seems like a nice dude.
Hopefully he will hook up with someone like Duff Mckagan, who can help him manage his money and save what's left.

This has taught me a lot!!! Ain't nobody out here for you!

This is such a bummer to learn! I wondered why I hadn’t heard from Fetty in a while. He seems like a genuinely good dude. Just made some unfortunate choices:/

This guy seems more intelligent when he speaks than the average rapper these days but then he made bad decisions.

I’m from paterson to I lived on E 24th Street and I was on one of his music videos called ZooWop I was one of the kids in the back. The dude on the bike in that video is my good friends dad. He genuinely cared for all of us man he took care of us and he gave the community money and food He also gave us all shoes and cloths because none of us could afford them. Nobody mentions this man. I still have the shoes he gave me. I’m 18 now and I was 10 when I met him.

Playing drums with one eye is pretty impressive.

Emotional Damageeee
I always knew he would fall off in terms of his songs because let’s just be honest lfmaoo but dannnng man how the mighty have fallen.. didn’t see this coming

So sad, even though I never heard of him.

This is so crazy he really just faded out! I had no idea what he had going on other than making a lot of babies and him being posted in the Shaderoom. He had hits! Every single he put out from his debut album was a bop. My mom who's not even a big rap fan (boomer lol) still asks about him and likes his style/sound. I hope he can pull it together and make music again someday.

This man used to be everywhere, could not escape hearing his name. But I am a little pleased to hear that the fame and money never got to him, I'm more impressed as to how he helped his community. It's sad how the story turned out in the end but I would have loved to see someone genuine like him have a longer career. More of that is needed in the culture for sure.

after watching this video, i'm super happy to see Fetty Wap's recent resurgance thru his Sweet Yamz track

Sorry, I’m getting old, but, could someone please remind me of what a “Trap Queen” is?

Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. Fetty definitely wasn't forgotten...his talent was undeniable.

Fetty's new song sweet yamz got me back into fetty wap as it's kinda popping off and it's really good. Hopefully he can make an insane comeback when he's out of jail, he's got the most potential for stardom l've seen.

i live in the NY/NJ/CT tristate area and Fetty still gets radio play. I always wonder what happened to him when I hear him. This is tragic. It's noble to want to help the hood but you cant help others until you have a strong stable foundation for yourself. it's sad he didn't invest more in his future before his music career fizzled out.

When your more loyal to the game instead of your kids don't expect good Karma🤷🏽‍♀️

I don’t know about this one because there’s a lot of jealousy the industry that’s how they are if it was his team there is a thing called universal law stay tuned peace and blessings ❤

Damn he was arrested 8 days after his new album dropped in honor of his daughter who passed.

He was the man back then, sad to see his decline

What happened was he was doing this dealing crap before he even got famous. It's not like he started selling drugs after he got famous, probably just more of it

His demise wasn't unexpected. I expected it from his actions and decisions. He glorified the wrong things and wanted to live his songs and make himself the gangsta image he sang about because he loved that lifestyle.

Seems like Fetty Wap saw MC Hammer and told himself that that could never be him... Even after making the same mistakes as Hammer. That's crazy!
This is the MUSIC BUSINESS! These uneducated men don't understand how BUSINESS works! When Beyonce calls, YOU ANSWER!
Justin Bieber also.
That was really stupid to deny these requests for Fetty to go on tour with these top notch artistes.

I have never heard of this man. The KZclip algorithm is a strange thing

You can always depend on Patrick to put out quality videos, another good one right here! good work man!

lost all respect for him anyone who deals fentanyl deserves to rot in a cell

This is just too sad for a guy with such a unique sound. I feel for his family as well. Like his real family not the bums that just leached off him. I hope this isn't the end for Fetty. I hope he has the biggest come back and does things differently this time.

Damn man I never realized how cool this dude was. Taking care of your people AND tryna put them on is some real shit.

off our backs and talent, so many jobs, careers and hustles are made, including this channel. We are fools, all around the world. So sad.

growing up during this time, fetty was one of my favorite artists. i loved him and i’m also from Nj. not far from paterson, and all of us nj kids would bump him 24/7. loved his voice and unique sound. i hope things change for the better. great video patrick!

Wow I remember when his songs started blowing up!! 679 was viral af I remember kids in my class in public school asking our teacher to play it on the computer

Being from Paterson, NJ.. Fetty was just a different wave and era of music and we were just excited to see someone make it out the hood 🤷‍♂️

Once you make it out, you need to stay out. Those so-called friends start feeling jealous and start sabotaging your career.

Sounds like he was too generous and had hangers on

Damn, I didn't listen to homie's music, but learning about all the corrupt shit is crucial to everyone listening. He could've fed himself, & future generations, for decades if he just utilized music, instead of the streets.

It's crazy because Fetty WAP was so wholesome. He should've learned how to take it easy.
