Fetty Wap is Home From Prison

Fetty Wap is officially back in the world after spending about three years behind bars — and folks are talking. The “Trap Queen” rapper, born Willie Maxwell, was locked up on federal drug trafficking charges a few years ago, but on January 8, 2026, he was let out early and moved into home confinement in Philadelphia while he finishes the rest of his sentence under supervision. That means he’s still got rules to follow — drug tests, reporting his income, and other requirements — but he’s out, and his first social post was simple and real: just the word “Home.”

Now that he’s out, Fetty’s message is about turning the page and giving back. He thanked his supporters for all the love while he was locked up and shared that his focus is on helping young people with education, tech opportunities, and vision care through his foundation. It’s a new chapter for him — one where he’s talking about purpose and impact, not just music and fame. Fans are hopeful he’ll stay on this positive path and maybe even bring more music our way, but for now it’s all about him trying to do right by himself and his community. Music Times
