Moments before he was slated to perform on New York Citi Field Stadium Thursday, FBI agents busted Rapper Fetty Wap on federal drug charges.
Wap, born William Junior Maxwell II, did not take the stage at Rolling Loud music festival but was rather indicted on drug distribution charges along with five other suspects.
Prosecutors named him as a member of a multi-million dollar drug ring dealing hundreds of kilos of heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl across Long Island and New Jersey.
“We pray that this is all a big misunderstanding,” the star’s attorney Navarro Gray said. “He sees the judge today. Hoping he gets released so we can clear things up expeditiously.”
Fetty Wap was scheduled to perform at around 4:45 p.m. Thursday along with The Trap Queen Rapper, 50 Cent, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Durk, and Jack Harlow.
Wap’s arrest comes a few months after he lost his 4-year-old daughter Lauren to a heart defect.
