Rapper Fetty Wap sentenced to 6 years in prison for selling cocaine

Willie Junior Maxwell II, the US rapper better known as Fetty Wap, has been sentenced to six years in prison for his involvement in a drug trafficking conspiracy.

According to the New York Times, the sentence was handed down by a federal court in Central Islip, following his arrest in October 2021.

In August 2022, Fetty Wap pleaded guilty to the primary charge of conspiracy to distribute and possess controlled substances, specifically cocaine.

The rapper and his co-defendants were accused of distributing more than 100 kilograms of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, and crack cocaine across Long Island and New Jersey.

Elizabeth Macedonio, his lawyer, said he was supporting relatives and children and needed financial resources after the pandemic impacted live entertainment.

The 31-year-old also expressed remorse to communities and families affected by drug use.

“I only ever wanted to help my family, I never asked myself if it was all-the-way right,” he said.

However, Joanna Seybert, the presiding judge, expressed disappointment in Fetty Wap for his involvement in drug trafficking despite overcoming challenges in his background.

“Despite your background and all you overcame, you threw it all away,” she said.

Prosecutors had sought a longer sentence for the rapper.

They argued that he had used his fame to glamorise the drug trade.

Nigerian singer, Kizz Daniel, has dropped hints suggesting the end of his engagement with his mystery fiancée.

During a recent interview with media personality Angela Yee, The ‘Buga’ crooner gave cryptic responses when questioned about his relationship status, leaving fans speculating about the state of his engagement.

When asked directly about his engagement, the singer responded with a cryptic statement, saying, “What? Jesus is Lord, and God will always remain on the throne.”

Although vague, this remark suggests a potential separation between Kizz Daniel and his fiancée.

Further probing led to Kizz Daniel’s admission that “nothing happened” but emphasised that “life happens.”

He reassured the public that his children are content and in good health, mentioning that he now has three sons.

This caught many off guard, especially considering that the public was previously only aware of his sons, Jalil and Jelani, who were born in 2021 to his undisclosed girlfriend.

Tragically, Kizz Daniel had previously shared the heartbreaking news of Jamal, one of the triplets, passing away just four days after their birth.

However, during the interview with Angela Yee, the artist disclosed that he is now a father of three sons, leaving the public astonished by the revelation of his secret child.

The singer had managed to keep the birth of his third son under wraps until recently when he decided to share the joyous news during the conversation.

As fans and followers of Kizz Daniel eagerly await further updates, speculation continues to swirl around the reasons behind his hinted separation from his fiancée and the circumstances surrounding the birth of his third child.
