Fetty Wap has been released from prison 11 months earlier than anticipated. He will continue his sentence, which the Bureau of Prisons reports will end on November 8, in home confinement in Philadelphia.

The “Trap Queen” rapper, whose real name is Willie Junior Maxwell II, returned home on Thursday (January 8), after spending over three years in prison on federal drug charges.

Representatives for Fetty Wap confirmed that his release came ahead of the initial schedule, with his original release date set for December 2026.

“I want to thank my family, friends, and fans for the love, prayers, and continued support — it truly means everything to me,” Fetty shared in a statement.

“Right now, my focus is on giving back through my community initiatives and foundation, supporting at-risk young children by expanding access to education, early tech skills, and vision care for young kids and students so they can show up as their best selves. I’m committed to moving forward with purpose and making a meaningful impact where it matters most.”

TMZ states that the rapper will be required to undergo drug testing and secure approval from federal authorities before opening any bank accounts over the next five years.

Additionally, the site alleges he must report his earnings and tax records to the U.S. Probation Department. He is also barred from consuming alcohol or using any non-prescribed drugs and may be obligated to take part in an outpatient drug treatment program.

The New Jersey-born artist was arrested in October 2021 in Queens, just before he was set to perform at Rolling Loud NYC. This followed a federal indictment accusing him of transporting 100 kilograms of drugs from California and distributing them in Long Island.

In August 2022, Fetty Wap pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiring to distribute at least 500 grams of cocaine. By May 2023, he was sentenced to six years in prison.

He had been serving time at a low-security facility in Sandstone, Minnesota, before his early release.
