Props to New Jersey rapper Fetty Wap for having some humility and self-awareness. A lot of artists could never admit that their career took a nosedive, but the award-winning MC actually went into the reasons why we haven’t heard from him in a long minute.
Fetty Wap Says He’s Coming Back
Fetty Wap released his chart-topping debut album in 2015, but hasn’t dropped a follow-up since then. Responding to a fan on Instagram who asked why he “fell off,” Fetty Wap gave what appeared to be a genuine, honest answer.
“bad business managers … greed and selfishness … but it’s almost over I got rid of all that goofy s*** around me … now I can focus on the music … and I’m goin tf up just watch.”
Fetty Wap: One-Hit Wonder?
You could call Fetty Wap a one-hit wonder, but that one hit — 2014’s “Trap Queen” — went platinum 10 times over. The track headlined his self-titled album and earned Fetty awards from Billboard, BET and MTV, along with two Grammy nominations.
Lil Baby Turned 2020 Into His Year
The way Fetty Wap owned 2014-15 is similar to how Atlanta rapper Lil Baby has owned 2020. Baby’s album My Turn was a commercial and critical success, pulling in a reported $19 million in revenue for the rising superstar.
