Fetty Wap Indicted On Drug Trafficking Charge
Rapper Fetty Wap was indicted along with five others on a drug trafficking conspiracy charge Friday.
According to an indictment released on Friday, federal prosecutors say that the men allegedly transported and distributed drugs, including heroin and fentanyl in Long Island.
The recording artist, also known as Willie Junior Maxwell II, was arrested Thursday at CitiField in New York City.
The indictment states that Fetty Wap was charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess controlled substances. Four other men had an additional count of use of firearms in connection with a drug trafficking crime.
Maxwell, who rose to fame with his 2015 hit “Trap Queen,” pleaded not guilty and is being held in a Brooklyn federal jail without bail.
According to the Daily News, the prosecution “raised the possibility of plea negotiations in the case.”
“We pray that this is all a big misunderstanding,” his lawyer told the NY Times,
