EDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 18 – Hip hop artist Fetty
Wap, whose given name is
Willie Junior Maxwell II,
pleaded guilty on August 22,
2022 to a superseding
indictment on which there is a
five year mandatory minimum.
The only
way out of a mandatory minimum
would be the "safety valve" -
not eligible, it seems clear -
or cooperating. But his lawyer
said, "He is NOT cooperating.
I want that to be very, very
clear. This is a standard
plea." Inner City Press is
covering the case.
On May 18,
2023, the US Attorney's Office
for the Eastern District of
New York asked for the
guideline sentence of 87 to
108 months, stating that
"During the COVID-19 pandemic,
the defendant, or others
acting on his behalf, drove to
Suffolk County on
approximately six occasions
and purchased
kilogram-quantities of cocaine
from the organization, which
the defendant then resold in
New Jersey. (Id. ¶ 6). In
total, the defendant
distributed 25 kilograms of
cocaine." Full filing on
