Fetty Wap’s Net Worth as of 2019: $4 million

Fetty Wap, born Willie Maxwell, is an American rapper from Paterson, New Jersey. He is best known for his 2014 hit single “Trap Queen”, which peaked at number 2 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 in May 2015, followed by the top 10 singles “679” and “My Way”. Initially starting off as only a rapper, he later decided to start singing, simply because he “wanted to do something different”. As for his unique stage name, the nickname “Fetty” which is slang for money, was given to him as he was known in Paterson for making money. As for the “Wap” in Fetty Wap, it serves as a tribute to his favorite rapper, Gucci Mane. Famously, when he was a child, Fetty Wap developed glaucoma in both eyes. He revealed in a 2015 interview that doctors were unable to save his left eye and instead fitted him with an ocular prosthesis. On top of everything, when asked how long he has been rapping, Fetty Wap has said it’s only been “a couple of years now”.
But how did a one-eyed Jersey-born rapper with a strangely unique singing voice become such a phenomena? Let’s take a look.
