Fetty Wap acknowledged his choices, emphasizing that no one compelled him but himself.

The rapper clarified that, although certain aspects of his life may have paused, his dedication to family remains unwavering. He affirmed, “I tell people all the time I’m in jail. I’m locked up, but I’m not f****d up. I’m takin’ care of my whole family from jail still. That s**t don’t stop. I mean, what I was doing stopped. Let me clear that up. But as far as takin’ care of my family, I found different outlets in here. Different people that helped me.”
