June 11, 2025 – New York, NY – The movement to secure clemency for Grammy-nominated rapper Fetty Wap continues to gain momentum as fans rally around his music, his progress, and his pursuit of redemption.
Currently serving time on a federal charge of conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine, Fetty Wap — born Willie Junior Maxwell II — has remained a powerful cultural force. While incarcerated, he has doubled down on his commitment to self-improvement, completing a series of rehabilitative and educational programs, including:
- Chess 2 Sentry Course
- Health Education Sentry Course
- Sentry Basic Fitness Course
- Structured Exercise Program
- Drug Abuse Education Course
- General Education Development (GED) Degree
Despite being behind bars, Fetty Wap’s presence in music is as strong as ever. His latest solo single, “Forever,” dropped recently to strong fan support, while the NOLA Bounce Remix of “Birthday” has gone viral across social platforms — soundtracking dances, party clips, and DJ sets nationwide.
In addition, Fetty Wap is featured on Doe Boy’s upcoming single “Lil Sexy,” once again showing that his voice continues to resonate and cut through, even while facing adversity.
“Fetty Wap’s journey is one of resilience,” said a spokesperson for his team. “He’s not just doing time — he’s doing the work. His transformation is real, and his music reflects both who he was and who he’s becoming.”
Advocates behind the #FreeFettyWap campaign argue that his case is a clear example of how harsh mandatory minimums affect non-violent first-time offenders. They emphasize that Fetty’s remorse, community impact, and rehabilitation make a strong case for clemency.
As Fetty’s supporters stream “Forever,” dance to the viral “Birthday” remix, and revisit his influential catalog, they also continue to spread awareness of his growth and the need for justice reform. Our goal is to reach 15,000 signatures, and every share helps!
