Fetty Wap will face sentencing for his drug trafficking conviction in March. His sentencing was supposed to go down this week, but according to documents obtained by AllHip Hop… the new date is now March 9.
In August, the rapper pleaded guilty to a conspiracy drug charge and now he’s facing up to five years in prison.
He was arrested last October on charges alleging he was part of a drug ring that smuggled heroin, fentanyl and other drugs into the New York City area. Fetty pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess controlled substances. If he had not taken a plea deal and been found guilty, he would have faced life in prison.
Five more men were also indicted.
“These defendants ran a multimillion-dollar bicoastal drug distribution organization with Suffolk County as their home base,” District Attorney Timothy D. Sini said. “They were wholesale drug dealers who pumped massive quantities of narcotics into our communities. As our investigation revealed, they would frequently use cutting agents to process just one of those kilograms of drugs into as many as four even before it was distributed to lower-level dealers, so the magnitude of this operation was enormous. Thanks to law enforcement’s efforts, this prolific supply chain has been cut off.”
