‘Trap Queen’ 10 Years Later: How Fetty Wap Went Diamond & Then Lost It All

Fetty Wap once owned a summer with the Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit "Trap Queen." Now he faces six years behind bars.

Before “Trap Queen” took over pop radio, RGF Productions worked the song on the road, performing shows at small bars and clubs, baby showers, birthday parties and sweet sixteens, making real money in the process. Following the Paterson rapper’s arrest on Oct. 29, 2021, for his involvement in drug trafficking, the two traded jabs over social media and did high-profile interviews with industry insiders: Fetty with Fat Joe and Nitt with Akademiks. Since he became a rap star, he told Akademiks, he bought 72 cars for friends and family and, due to a dislike of hotels, had multiple apartments in cities around the country including LA and Miami.
