Rapper Fetty Wap has been moved to home confinement after serving over three years of his six-year federal prison sentence for conspiracy to distribute controlled substances.
The 32-year-old hip-hop star, whose real name is Willie Maxwell II, was sentenced in 2022.
According to officials from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons, Fetty Wap will now complete the remainder of his sentence under home-based supervision, which includes strict reporting requirements and restrictions.
This early transfer comes as part of federal programs that allow eligible inmates to serve part of their sentence in a community or home setting, helping them reintegration into society.
Fans have taken to social media to react to the news, with many expressing support for the rapper’s home confinement release.
Fetty Wap’s move to home confinement is expected to continue until the end of his federal sentence later this year, marking an important step in his transition from prison life to public life.
