A new picture of Fetty Wap in prison recently surfaced online, sparking demands for his release from fans. In the picture, the rapper can be spotted in a brown jumpsuit, standing alongside three other inmates.
Fetty Wap is currently in prison for violating his bail conditions on charges of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.
His sentencing date is yet to be revealed.
Why was Fetty Wap imprisoned? Charges explored
On August 22, 2022, Fetty Wap pleaded guilty to drug charges. He might be sent to prison for five years.
The charges emerged from an arrest in October last year. Wap and five other co-defendants were accused of possession and distribution of 220 pounds of heroin, fentanyl, and crack cocaine between June 2019 and June 2020 in New York City.
Although he was released in November 2021 on a $500,000 bond, he was again sent to jail on August 8, 2022, for violating the conditions of his pretrial release. A judge has already rejected his bail for reportedly threatening to kill someone on FaceTime in December last year.
Prior to this, Fetty Wap was arrested in November 2017 on a Brooklyn highway and several charges - including DUI and drag racing - were imposed on him.

Also known as Willie Junior Maxwell II, the singer is facing some serious charges and his release from prison is unlikely. However, ever since his new photo from jail surfaced online, fans have extended support towards him and have demanded his release on social media.
