EDNY COURTHOUSE, May 18 – Hip hop artist Fetty Wap, whose given name is Willie Junior Maxwell II, pleaded guilty on August 22, 2022 to a superseding indictment on which there is a five year mandatory minimum.
The only way out of a mandatory minimum would be the "safety valve" - not eligible, it seems clear - or cooperating. But his lawyer said, "He is NOT cooperating. I want that to be very, very clear. This is a standard plea." Inner City Press is covering the case.
On May 18, 2023, the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York asked for the guideline sentence of 87 to 108 months, stating that "During the COVID-19 pandemic, the defendant, or others acting on his behalf, drove to Suffolk County on approximately six occasions and purchased kilogram-quantities of cocaine from the organization, which the defendant then resold in New Jersey. (Id. ¶ 6). In total, the defendant distributed 25 kilograms of cocaine." Full filing on Patreon here.
