Rapper Fetty Wap has been sentenced to six years in prison for drug dealing.
The rapper, whose real name is Willie Junior Maxwell II, has been in custody since last August when his bail was revoked.
He was convicted of distributing more than 100 kilograms of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl and crack cocaine across Long Island and New Jersey.
As part of the investigation, police seized $1.5million in cash and multiple weapons from a series of homes.
The rapper was arrested at the Rolling Loud music festival at Citi Field in October 2021 moments before he was due to go on stage.
Prosecutors say he was part of a large Long Island drug ring that supplied drugs across the state.
The group used the US Postal Service to distribute the drugs, according to the original indictment.
In court, he admitted to conspiring to distribute cocaine, telling the judge: 'I agreed with other people to distribute cocaine.
'I knew the conduct was illegal.'
He pleaded guilty August 2022 and had been facing up to 40 years in prison.
It's unclear if his attorneys have requested a specific facility. The prison where he will serve his time has not yet been assigned.

Never heard of him.
A real piece of garbage.
Rappers care about "street cred," right?
Regards,
Fetty, Fetty, Fetty...tsk, tsk
I never saw the difference between 99% of rappers and drug dealers to begin with.
He shoulda stuck to marijauna.
“The group used the US Postal Service to distribute the drugs”
Doesn’t that make it federal?.........and he only got SIX years??.....unbelievable. SMH
...at the height of his fame??
Well, I’ve heard of him now.
6 years for destroying countless lives is less than trespassing in the capital gets you.
Hard to believe there’s money in rap.
White musics execs love rap, it’s cheap to produce and the “artists” are disposable.
You don’t have to pay bands for all that studio time, and record promotion anymore.
The dude has a wap sheet...
Dow-I believe you’re on to something!
He will be out within a year.
100 kilos. That’s some serious product. I wonder which border it was smuggled across...
