CENTRAL ISLIP - Hip-hop artist Fetty Wap returned to court Wednesday, where he was sentenced to six years on federal drug charges.
Back in August, he pleaded guilty to a conspiracy drug charge admitting to participating in drug trafficking that brought illegal substances from the West Coast to Long Island.
He wore a tan jumpsuit and waved at his family (who filled one side of the courtroom). Rapper Fetty Wap, best known for his 2015 hit 'Trap Queen,' was one of six people arrested for allegedly conspiring to sell and possess drugs throughout Long Island and New Jersey.The defense attorney asked for the minimum sentence of 60 months, saying it’s a sad day for her client, a success story will be sentenced, and he will rise above as he never avoided this day.The judge said the one thing you cannot escape is that there were other choices for you before she imposed the sentence.
She also said, "Good luck Mr. Maxwell - you have a lot of going for you, see if you can put it together."Prosecutors claim Fetty Wap also threatened to kill a man during a FaceTime call.
