Fetty Wap says the music he was putting out “wasn’t doing good” so it led him to selling drugs, according to XXL Magazine.
Fetty Wap, revealed in a recent interview with XXL how he turned to selling drugs after his music’s low sales. The interview was his first after the rapper was known to have been sentenced to six years in prison for federal drug charges in May.
Netizens were quick to slam his revelations, with many pointing out that Wap’s reasons shouldn’t be an excuse to sell drugs for a living.
“Nobody made me do it,” Wap said. “Nobody forced me to do it. When I put myself in that situation, I ain’t really think for the long run. I’m thinking I could just run up a few million dollars, and I’m gon’ be good forever.”
“When I wanted to start doing shit, this is what I know how to do,” he added. “It was like, I’m being honest with myself. Like, ‘Aight, the music wasn’t really doin’ that good’… Instead of pursuing my career harder or going harder to make people listen, I was a coward … and I was just like, ‘I can’t let my family down.”
