NYC ARREST
Fetty Wap, whose real name is William Junior Maxwell II, was arrested by federal agents in New York City on Thursday afternoon, the New York Post reported citing police sources.
The rapper, who hails from Patterson, New Jersey, is expected to be arraigned on Friday morning in Long Island's Central Islip Federal Court.
Maxwell was part of a group of six men who were indicted in a drug distribution scheme, the New York Daily News reported citing law enforcement sources.
The crew was dealing numerous drugs and the crimes were being committed while the rapper was famous, the outlet reported.
No further details about the charges were immediately available.
FESTIVAL NO SHOW
Before his arrest, Fetty Wap was scheduled to perform at the Rolling Loud music festival at Citi Field.
The Trap Queen rapper was expected to headline the Thursday show, which featured performances by 50 Cent, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Durk, and Jack Harlow, among others.
Wap was expected to perform at 4.45pm on Thursday, but some festivalgoers complained on Twitter that he never appeared.
PRIOR ARREST
The arrest was Maxwell's latest run-in with the law; in 2019 he was arrested for allegedly assaulting three employees at a hotel in Las Vegas.
According to TMZ, Maxwell hit a parking attendant at the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas after getting into an argument.
Police originally said Wap hit an employee but later said he "committed a battery" on three.
In November 2017, he was also arrested and charged with DUI after police say he was caught drag racing another car on a New York City highway.
