Fetty Wap opened up about how 50 Cent became his biggest supporter during his four-year prison sentence, revealing the rapper’s unwavering loyalty after his release on January 8, 2026.
In his first interview since walking free from federal custody, the “Trap Queen” rapper detailed how most of the music industry turned their backs on him while he served time for drug trafficking charges, but 50 Cent stepped up in ways that surprised him. Fetty Wap was sentenced to six years in federal prison in May 2023 after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute cocaine as part of a large-scale drug trafficking operation that moved over 100 kilograms of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, and crack cocaine across Long Island and New Jersey. The rapper was initially arrested at Citi Field in October 2021, just before he was scheduled to perform at the Rolling Loud music festival, where FBI agents took him into custody on federal drug trafficking charges.
While behind bars, Fetty Wap said 50 Cent provided both financial assistance and mental support, becoming a consistent presence when others disappeared from his life.
