As Fetty Wap nears his third year in prison, his supporters are keeping the momentum going in the fight for his freedom. The rapper, born Willie Maxwell II, recently gave fans a look at how he is doing with a new photo posted to his official account on the Gram on August 14. In the image, Fetty is smiling despite his situation, with the caption reading, “Mr. 1738 … .”
Messages of encouragement poured in almost immediately. One fan commented, “Miss you bruh! Waiting for something special like ‘Trap Queen’,” while another wrote, “Free You.” The flood of responses reflects the lasting connection Fetty maintains with his fanbase, even as he remains away from the stage and studio.
His family has also been pushing publicly for his release. Earlier this year, they launched a petition alongside the drop of his single “Forever.” In their statement, they shared, “His freedom was taken, but not his voice. This isn’t just music it’s his truth, his story, and his fight. The petition to help Fetty fight for a pardon and his freedom is live now … Let’s bring our brother home.”
