NEW YORK — Rapper Fetty Wap has admitted to his role in a multimillion-dollar drug trafficking ring, pleading guilty in Long Island Federal Court Monday in exchange for a minimum five years in federal prison.
The platinum-selling rapper, born William Junior Maxwell II, could have faced life in prison after he was charged last October for conspiring to bring more than 100 kilos of heroin, fentanyl and cocaine from the West Coast to the East for sale in New Jersey and Long Island.
He remains locked up after taking the plea deal since his bond was revoked earlier this month.
