Fetty Wap acknowledges 50 Cent for offering crucial support — both financial and emotional — during his challenging three-year prison stint related to a federal drug case.
According to Fetty, the rap mogul was the one person in the music industry who consistently stood by him throughout his ordeal.
Now free after completing his sentence in Minnesota, Fetty joined “The Breakfast Club” on Friday (January 9) for his first post-release interview.
He reflected on 50 Cent’s unwavering support, stating: “50 did a lot for me. From day one, it was like, ‘Whatever you need, just holler at me.’ I’m like, ‘All right.’ Then [he] was like, ‘Where this money going?’ I’m like, ‘What?’ I ain’t used to that. I’m used to it’s always the other way around.”
It wasn’t just financial assistance; 50 Cent offered advice and guidance over the phone, always making himself available when Fetty needed him. Fetty highlighted that 50 even checked in on him regarding his return home after prison.
“Whatever I needed, he was right there,” Fetty continued. “He answered the phone. He didn’t shy off all the way down to the time I’m about to come home, ‘How you getting home?’ As far as financial and mental help, he was probably there the biggest.”
Their conversations often included 50 encouraging Fetty to reevaluate his decisions and keep creating music. The veteran rapper was a source of motivation, pushing him to work harder and avoid setbacks. Fetty added, mimicking 50 Cent’s Queens accent:, “You should’ve never stopped making music. You should’ve kept going hard.”
In response to Fetty Wap’s praise during “The Breakfast Club” interview, 50 Cent shared a clip of the discussion on Instagram while welcoming the “Trap Queen” artist back home. His caption read, “WOP HOME fresh out the FED’S ready to work. He good I got him let’s get it.”
