Rapper Fetty Wap, who had been on a $500,000 bond after being arrested on federal drug charges, was arrested in New Jersey after prosecutors claim he violated the conditions of his pre-trial release. In an FBI affidavit filed in federal court, federal authorities claim Fetty Wap threatened to kill a person while on a FaceTime video call in 2021. During the call, Fetty Wap repeatedly threatened, "I'm going to kill you" while pointing at gun at the screen, according to the affidavit. After the man on the other end of the call called Fetty a rat, the rapper said, "Your man is a rat," according to the affidavit. At a hearing on Monday afternoon, Magistrate Judge Steven Locke revoked Fetty Wap's bond and sent him to jail, according to a spokesperson for the U.S. attorney. The rapper, whose real name is William Junior Maxwell II, was arrested at Citi Field last October during the Rolling Loud hip-hop music festival. Fetty Wap was among a group that was accused of selling more than 100 kilograms of drugs, including heroin and fentanyl.
