Fetty Wap arrested for allegedly threatening murder during FaceTime call

Fetty Wap has been arrested after allegedly threatening to murder somebody during a FaceTime conversation.

As reported by TMZ – who alleged to have viewed an arrest warrant – the rapper was arrested by FBI agents in New Jersey yesterday (August 8). The incident reportedly stems from a FaceTime call that Fetty (real name Willie Junior Maxwell II) made last December, wherein he allegedly waved a gun in front of the camera and threatened to kill a man who was on the other end of the call.

According to XXL reports, allegedly, Maxwell called him “a rat” and repeatedly said, “I’ma kill you and everybody you with.”

Maxwell was already in hot water after being arrested on a federal drug charge last October. He, along with five other men, were alleged to have “distributed more than 100 kilograms of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, and crack cocaine across Long Island and New Jersey” between June 2019 and June 2020.

XXL reports that Maxwell’s bail was revoked in the wake of his new arrest, with the affidavit noting that his conduct on the FaceTime call was in direct violation of both state law and the conditions of his bail agreement.
