I've been making fun of this dude for years and now I feel like a total a****** because he seems so real and so genuine. He admits that he played a big role in his failure. For normal person to admit that can be very difficult and for a famous person on his scale at the time to admit that is an even bigger and more difficult thing to do. Props to him. Seems like a really cool guy. I hope his kids are doing good.
But why were you making fun of him in the first place then? He always was a humble and down-to-earth being who was very polite when being on a interview.. okay the drug case was very f*cked up
Hearing this story makes me sad. I thought dude was stupid and ignorant. It actually sounds like he has a huge heart, and was taken advantage of. I personally am not the biggest fan of his, but I hope he can make it out and get his life straightened out.
Fetty is a great example as to why you should never be too kind. Some people will find ways to exploit kindness for their own benefit, doesn't matter if it's friends or family. I hope a miracle happens and he gets out early.
@A I'm not denying he made stupid decisions, but to say all of it was because he's dumb is a bit of an overstatement. There's nothing wrong with trying to help those close to you (at least, those who you thought were close to you at the time) and it's not that dumb of an idea to stick and be loyal to the manager who initially got you big. This was a case of people around him changing because of money and him being naive enough to stay with these people.
No matter how much you are feeling about your hood, and put your homeboys or homegirls on,at the end of the day it's all about the business, but sometimes you just don't know how to handle larger amounts of money, it's like a drug, and other people get addicted to you giving them the best lifestyle, sometimes you have to escape and get your own head together behind the scenes..
This legitimately makes me sad… when Fetty first got big, I was obsessed with his music. A ton of his songs remind me of some of the best and the worst times in my life. Learning lessons for sure. “No dayz off” was my work jam. I literally listened to it every single day. It breaks my heart he went in this direction… the man has some talent. I’d love to see him come out back on top after he serves his time. Smarter and better than ever. I never knew any of this… but it sucks! He needs to stop looking for validation from everyone else and be secure in himself and his talent. It seems like all these people leeched off of him and left him in the dirt.
For those who didn't know his last album The Butterfly Effect wasn't supposed to be his come back but had plans to make a more hit album afterwards the album was actually a tribute to his late daughter who passed away in June, 2021 and a thank you to his still loyal fans. And the incident where he was on bond and told the man he was going to kill him was for talking on his daughter disrespectfully which I feel was also left out.
damn man this is a sad one. you're by far the best at breaking these story's down and giving all the details. Not to mention your editing, voice and the perfect way you tell the stories. you'll be at 5m subs in no time!
This man used to be everywhere, could not escape hearing his name. But I am a little pleased to hear that the fame and money never got to him, I'm more impressed as to how he helped his community. It's sad how the story turned out in the end but I would have loved to see someone genuine like him have a longer career. More of that is needed in the culture for sure.
He had that mc hammer mindset. Hammer had everyone on his payroll. But none of them contributed to his career or his wealth. He went from almost $100 million to just $2 million.
Yeah that’s what that one dude was saying in the blue sweater. Once you get involved with a big group. Shi can go down that you wouldn’t realize you mix yourself up in.
@Kenyetta Ready nah you know how hard it is to make a hundred million. Just look at forbes top 20 rappers you would be surprised to see how much some who been in the game a long time (successful) and barely have over that.
He was a genuinely good person caught in bad situations and friends. It's so sad watching a person who genuinely just wanna help get turned on like that
yea , i never heard of the guy this just came on Autoplay but got interested in it , but overall seamed like great guy trying to help friends while they got one hand out for money then turn with the other and stab him in the back, music business so dirty, sad
Man.. I never liked his sound and never understood his blow up. To see his heart and loyalty to his whole team, makes me rethink everything I thought about him. Praying he learns and grows through all of his trials and tribulations. Thank you for this dive.
Fetty has a big heart. As successful as he was, he always stayed humble and loyal to his friends. He worked hard to put everybody on. It's sad that out of everybody he helped, nobody was looking out for him. The people he gave the most worked the hardest to bring him down. Nitt is the slimiest tool I've ever seen, I hope he gets what's coming to him.
this DEFINITELY makes me so upset to hear. as a 2007 kid I can definitely confirm his songs were EVERYWHERE and were damn near impossible to escape. especially during 2015 when vine, KZclip, and musically were alive. It’s very sad to me because I never knew this man’s name because I was really young. I hope he finds peace this makes me really sad to hear.
I’ve always loved Fetty. It’s so sad as a kid he was bullied about his eye. He seems so sweet and down to earth and just like he was really tryna make the right thing happen. Why did he think he couldn’t live off music and have to resort to stupid drug shit 😢
I'll always love Fetty ... So many great memories are attached to his music *BUT* my man couldn't possibly have made any worse decisions over the last few years. Boggles my mind, cause he was on top of the world and had real talent. *EVERYONE* was waiting for the old Fetty, but obviously we know now he had other priorities. Sad.
This happened to me and taught me a big lesson. Everyone can't go where you're going. "friends" can be your downfall. They milked him dry while conspiring. It's sad
It’s so frustrating seeing anyone, musicians, rappers, actors - anyone who finds a way out, finds a way to never become broke and struggling again, never having to sell dope again, and then seeing them flush it down the drain. All you need to do is focus, spend money on what you need and find out how to multiply your money. Screw the chains and clothes and cars - find your future! You may think it’ll last forever, but it won’t, you have to figure out how to make it last forever. And drop all the people hanging around with their hands out, pressuring you for more and pressuring you to live large.
In their mind it’s spend money to make money, they not trying to be like the people who flushed all their fortunes down the drain even though that’s what they do anyway
Damn man, imagine finding out that Beyonce personally wanted to take you on tour with her and your manager declined. That dude was stupid; with how loyal Fetty was, and with how he constantly wanted to bring his boys up with him, have Fetty do the tour and grow even more with Beyonce. That would have just been even more eyes Fetty could have brought on to the rest of the guys once Fetty did his own tour. Nitt just didn't want to wait a little longer and play the long game. Fetty was; "When I get big, we all get big. " Nitt was; "We all get big at the same time or none of us do." Dumb as hell. (Of course that is if that's how it really went down. I just have a hard time believing Fetty would have been the one saying "all my boys get on the bill or I ain't going" as surely he would have known the growth it would have done for all of them)
@epis dosas So how is it being a sellout if Fetty joins the tours to get big to then help his friends get big, but it's not a sellout if all his friends got big (off the same tour) at the same time? What Nitt was doing wasn't trying to not be a sellout, it's be greedy and wanting the fame and money immediately.
He's one of them good sounding rapper. Such a shame he plummeted down. The people who he calls "real friends" abuse his kindness and justuse him as ATM.
and what did that get him in the end ? nothing wrong with being selfish and looking out for number1 50 did it right create opportunity for your friends but when theyre not willing to work for it you cut them off its really that simple
The downfall is he was too generous and because of that generosity it led to people taking advantage of him sometimes it gets to a point where you will need to help yourself before others
Damn, sad to hear this dude’s in prison. I remember when I was in high school people thought of him as a one hit wonder, but I always really liked his voice and a couple songs from him; I always wondered why he disappeared and I’m now sad to see why. Genuinely hope he can turn his life around when he gets out of prison, for real 🙏🏾
This is just too sad for a guy with such a unique sound. I feel for his family as well. Like his real family not the bums that just leached off him. I hope this isn't the end for Fetty. I hope he has the biggest come back and does things differently this time.
I honestly don’t know how to feel after this one. The nastogia this brings as well as hearing him talk and learning about his story was incredible, he seems like sucha generous humble dude. However the ending with drugs and getting locked up kinda made this whole story pretty sad… needa happy ending in the next one Patrick
I remember back in my senior year of high school in 2015 I heard Trap Queen for the first time; I associate it with the day my friends and I, along with the other seniors, skipped school to spend the day at the beach. I’ll always have fond memories of that song for that reason, but I never knew the full story about the artist behind it until this video. Patrick always makes bangers ❤
He's a victim of the senseless drug war, nothing more. Not just an insanely talented artist, I think he's a very good person. With the right representation, he hopefully won't do much time and have a chance to come back to music someday. I wanna see him win.
Everybody watching this video we can all go help fetty out and stream his last album, considering what a genuinely kind human being he is. Look how many people he took care of and they all took advantage of him. I know he learned his lesson from that he still has a lot of learning to do as we all do.
Mate don't just watch one video and form an opinion on a dude. The man was threatning to kill people and shit so it's safe to assume he probably isn't a saint
He tried to help too many people who were just taker. Take care of yourself first. “If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.” - Mark Twain
Fetty’s first album to me is a masterpiece. Each song is a hit, 10/10. Loved his voice and his sound. My friends and I would always joke and call ourselves the Remy Boyz. I loved his music and it seemed like he was a very down to earth man who wanted the best for his friends. It’s just unfortunate how everything turned out and the choices that were made which were mistakes. My friends and I patiently await for his return and still think he has the potential to make it big.
This is so crazy he really just faded out! I had no idea what he had going on other than making a lot of babies and him being posted in the Shaderoom. He had hits! Every single he put out from his debut album was a bop. My mom who's not even a big rap fan (boomer lol) still asks about him and likes his style/sound. I hope he can pull it together and make music again someday.
always loved your content but i'm happy you found something to lean in on. these vids go crazy, hope you enjoy making em as much as we love watching. much love bro
Honestly this young man was extremely humble and talented but his mistake was trusting people it’s sad I pray that things get better for him he didn’t deserve what happened to him stay up fetty 🙏🏽💜🙏🏽💜
I honestly respect fetty for wanting to put his friends and peers on after he blew up, but record labels are only about money so Monty had to feel bad, and I imagine fetty did too
i live in the NY/NJ/CT tristate area and Fetty still gets radio play. I always wonder what happened to him when I hear him. This is tragic. It's noble to want to help the hood but you cant help others until you have a strong stable foundation for yourself. it's sad he didn't invest more in his future before his music career fizzled out.
Thanks for this Pat! I remember hearing Trap Queen and 679 all the time in 2014, and I’ve always wondered where he had been…. crazy to see what happened to him
The fact that you can get locked up for what is essentially life just for drugs yet child rapists get out in a mere 2-5 years absolutely enrages my soul.
This man was his own worst enemy and he ruined his own community by running drugs. Its hard to feel empathy for someone who had every opportunity to make good changes in his life and just didnt.
growing up during this time, fetty was one of my favorite artists. i loved him and i’m also from Nj. not far from paterson, and all of us nj kids would bump him 24/7. loved his voice and unique sound. i hope things change for the better. great video patrick!
@Lamarr Sutton not sure if that’s you in ur pfp but no shit you were prob already 20 by the time we were kids lmfaoo no offense but you look much older. so that’s fine! no need to comment that lmao
I feel bad for Fetty, deeply saddened by this. But I feel this was meant to happen for him to grow. The fame would of corrupted him even more and more people would take advantage. Could of ended up dead too, so I hope Fetty comes out better than ever cause he has a good heart deep down.
Everything I just hear in the beginning sounds exactly like me. I do this all the time, I have mad respect for that and good things will come to him. If i ever get famous, I would pay his bail and but him a forever house and a free spot, always on my album. He deserves that. Its eery how similar he is to me
It was actually kinda scary to me how he went from being everywhere, like you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing his name or one of his songs, to just dropping off the face
You know yeah he didn’t do things the smartest way money wise, but he kept his Soul & tried to maintain those priceless friendships…I never knew all this about him, he’s pretty awesome actually
As a 2000s kid who was growing up during the mid-late 2010s, Trap Queen was damn near EVERYWHERE. It only grew much bigger and spread more further due to how much it was used in Vine back when it was still up.
honestly his legendary hit run 100% came from him and his delivery.. has a guaranteed comeback waiting for him anytime God willing he get his life rehabilitated . You have to be so insanely talented and lucky to get even a one hit wonder, but he really nailed it 4 times in a row in a culturally significant manner. He’s not really given enough credit for steering the “popular music” genre further into rap/hip hop. Wish him all the best
i love fetty wap so much and this makes me so sad. in the depths of my addiction i was in jail and trap queen was really popular, someone scratched trap queen into the door in my cell and it was constantly on repeat in my head the whole time. this makes me feel i should write him and send him love. i can only imagine how sad and lonely this sentence must feel.
I've never been a fan of Fetty Wap but I remember feeling bad for him when one of his daughters died. I also remember being disappointed when he got arrested for dealing drugs. I hope that he doesn't have to spend *too* much time in prison! Also, the usage of "end" as a substitute for "kill" was a little awkward. I know that you're trying to avoid getting demonetized but still! 😅
Fetty definitely has a big heart, from my own personal experiences as sad as it is, bringing people close to you up with you will most of the time cause them to change and turn on you once they see success themselves, you are no longer needed to them. Bringing people up with you is like fucking yourself over once you hit your peak. It’s eat or be eaten.
I still remember back when EVERYONE was bumping Fetty Wap’s music. He could had a legendary career on the same level as Travis Scott or Post Malone. He might have the most undeserved fall off of any recent rapper.
imma be honest, i've never listened to a single fetty wap song. i'm just here because you are really good at presenting these stories in a way that gets me invested
Fetty actually sounds like a really great guy and an amazing friend, he didnt want fame or attention just bread for his family and homies, and when it came to gang stuff he played it smart, if anyone where to retaliate that guy who took Fetty's chain the Feds would have a motive and could immediately arrest him, even if it fetty had nothing to do with it
Hes said many times that he didn't like music. His mom forced him to listen to music as a punishment. He ended up liking music once everyone told him he actually had a chance to blow up and he did. It's not surprising to me that he didn't stay in the spotlight. He's unfortunately too caught up in that Paterson lifestyle.
A couple things not mentioned: Fetty also dropped "You Know The Vibes" which is a phenomenal project Butterfly Effect is his best project ever imo Let's not forget his last hit which is the Birthday track ft Monty. It was on the radio all the time. And is easily one of his best songs ever. He still makes great music and u still listen to him often.
Fetty was always street and fell back to it when he noticed his numbers (both music and money) dropped. But you could've included a lot more in this. His daughter Lauren died and his brother Twyshon. Besides that he had to bury many close relatives, he's mention in many interviews. His come up just went too fast, and so did his downfall, but as you can tell a genuine, smart and thinkful guy with a plan. Pretty sure this ain't the last of him we hear.
Music is about unity, not hating someone and welcoming his hometown putting him down. Higher levels doesn't require higher money. Respect and love goes a long way and would change yours and my life today
I totally respect him for not caving into the fakeness of the music industry. He could’ve caved and left behind his friends but he stood by them AND made himself successful. Respect.
I don't know too much about fetty, but I like the trap queen song, and I think it's dope how he wasn't embarrassed by his disability and embraced it, that's awesome. He also seems like a VERY GENEROUS person, but unfortunately I think his generosity lead to fake friends that brought him down the wrong path.. I'm only about halfway thru with this, but the fact that he wouldn't release the drake remix cuz he didn't like that the guy's who's song it was was cut out, that it's NOT just about the money. I feel bad he got caught up tho..
I don't know why ppl are shocked, he convinced a whole generation that being a trap queen was something glamorous! I used to hate hearing that song bc it's nothing but turmoil, anxiety, depravity & loss! I spent my early 20s like that & ull gladly "let it go" 4 peace!
Damn, I didn't listen to homie's music, but learning about all the corrupt shit is crucial to everyone listening. He could've fed himself, & future generations, for decades if he just utilized music, instead of the streets.
i just realized I missed the opportunity to make the video 17:38 in length..
😂😂
at that point id delete the vid
ily
I can't believe you
My man haha beat me to a reference
I've been making fun of this dude for years and now I feel like a total a****** because he seems so real and so genuine. He admits that he played a big role in his failure. For normal person to admit that can be very difficult and for a famous person on his scale at the time to admit that is an even bigger and more difficult thing to do. Props to him. Seems like a really cool guy. I hope his kids are doing good.
Yeah his newer album he said he wanted his mom to be okay and make it one day but it’s a cry for help I think
Did you watch the last two minutes?
Especially his eye condition i feel that. But his music is still dookie
But why were you making fun of him in the first place then?
He always was a humble and down-to-earth being who was very polite when being on a interview.. okay the drug case was very f*cked up
Hearing this story makes me sad. I thought dude was stupid and ignorant. It actually sounds like he has a huge heart, and was taken advantage of. I personally am not the biggest fan of his, but I hope he can make it out and get his life straightened out.
Why did you think he was ignorant and stupid ?
@Resilience Because that's what he sounded like.
Makes me sad hearing this story😢 god bless him
He was set up!!!! A million for charity but not one for tribute
✅✅✅
Fetty is a great example as to why you should never be too kind. Some people will find ways to exploit kindness for their own benefit, doesn't matter if it's friends or family. I hope a miracle happens and he gets out early.
Bs stop taking his own responsibility. That's why his life is over now
Being kind does not mean being dumb.
@A I'm not denying he made stupid decisions, but to say all of it was because he's dumb is a bit of an overstatement. There's nothing wrong with trying to help those close to you (at least, those who you thought were close to you at the time) and it's not that dumb of an idea to stick and be loyal to the manager who initially got you big. This was a case of people around him changing because of money and him being naive enough to stay with these people.
I just can’t take you seriously with that name bro I’m sorry
No matter how much you are feeling about your hood, and put your homeboys or homegirls on,at the end of the day it's all about the business, but sometimes you just don't know how to handle larger amounts of money, it's like a drug, and other people get addicted to you giving them the best lifestyle, sometimes you have to escape and get your own head together behind the scenes..

‼️
That’s so sad, I wasn’t aware his daughter passed away. He’s been through a lot, I hope he’s able to make his comeback soon.
thats a fake scam bot using patricks name, dont fall for it
RIP!
How do you know ??
damn man this is a sad one. you're by far the best at breaking these story's down and giving all the details. Not to mention your editing, voice and the perfect way you tell the stories. you'll be at 5m subs in no time!

The industry doesn't want real. They want people they can use.
I'm impressed he is financially iliterate too
alot of artists do help their communites, it just doesnt get covered when theyre alive or free
bubby won't chu come my wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
One of his issues was that his circle was too big, sometimes you can’t bring everyone with you despite how much you love your people.
He had that mc hammer mindset. Hammer had everyone on his payroll. But none of them contributed to his career or his wealth. He went from almost $100 million to just $2 million.
Facts!

He was a genuinely good person caught in bad situations and friends. It's so sad watching a person who genuinely just wanna help get turned on like that
You dont even know the guy
Lol, Helping poison your own community isn't the best look ("for a good guy")
Good people dont sell cocaine to destroy a fellow black community
The bar is set really low for being a " good guy".
yea , i never heard of the guy this just came on Autoplay but got interested in it , but overall seamed like great guy trying to help friends while they got one hand out for money then turn with the other and stab him in the back, music business so dirty, sad

I hope he finds peace this makes me really sad to hear.
Nobody will ever forget Fetty Wap's Legendary 2015 to 2016 run
It was a crazy rollercoaster
That brings back so much Nostalgia I guess the run is over
1 year LOL
He was EVERYWHERE
Literally everyone forgot tho lmfao
I’ve always loved Fetty. It’s so sad as a kid he was bullied about his eye. He seems so sweet and down to earth and just like he was really tryna make the right thing happen. Why did he think he couldn’t live off music and have to resort to stupid drug shit 😢

My friend is adicted to alcohol I must quit this friendshipness because of he make me drink alcohol and drug and party while I wanna focus on live
It is a lesson I Just learned at 30 some times a firend ship turns into something toxic
@Kara Hirsch isn't that sad? Smh
@Kara Hirsch sometimes it's best to just keep to yourself
@Dave Johnson help him to get the help that he needs. If he doesn't accept it, leave him alone. Sometimes we have to show tough love
It’s so frustrating seeing anyone, musicians, rappers, actors - anyone who finds a way out, finds a way to never become broke and struggling again, never having to sell dope again, and then seeing them flush it down the drain. All you need to do is focus, spend money on what you need and find out how to multiply your money. Screw the chains and clothes and cars - find your future! You may think it’ll last forever, but it won’t, you have to figure out how to make it last forever. And drop all the people hanging around with their hands out, pressuring you for more and pressuring you to live large.
The problem is they don’t have people telling them that they are around a bunch of people who don’t care and only want money
🥝
Its hard to not spend money when it is coming super fast especially if you never had money before like fetty
In their mind it’s spend money to make money, they not trying to be like the people who flushed all their fortunes down the drain even though that’s what they do anyway
I think they all feel invincible....u r suddenly around ppl that doesnt tell u "no"
Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. Fetty definitely wasn't forgotten...his talent was undeniable.
Damn man, imagine finding out that Beyonce personally wanted to take you on tour with her and your manager declined. That dude was stupid; with how loyal Fetty was, and with how he constantly wanted to bring his boys up with him, have Fetty do the tour and grow even more with Beyonce.
That would have just been even more eyes Fetty could have brought on to the rest of the guys once Fetty did his own tour. Nitt just didn't want to wait a little longer and play the long game.
Fetty was; "When I get big, we all get big. "
Nitt was; "We all get big at the same time or none of us do." Dumb as hell.
(Of course that is if that's how it really went down. I just have a hard time believing Fetty would have been the one saying "all my boys get on the bill or I ain't going" as surely he would have known the growth it would have done for all of them)
Why be a sell out stooge. Just for the fame and money. Then they go crazy.
Let alone justin bieber and future too? Shoulda fired that manager, real talk
@epis dosas So how is it being a sellout if Fetty joins the tours to get big to then help his friends get big, but it's not a sellout if all his friends got big (off the same tour) at the same time? What Nitt was doing wasn't trying to not be a sellout, it's be greedy and wanting the fame and money immediately.
@John Billow Facts
hard to hate on a guy this loyal and honest about his failings. I hope the man can find happiness.
Hey man that can admit to his own failures is an attribute to be respected. He seems to be a genuinely good guy just around the wrong people.
Damn man I never realized how cool this dude was. Taking care of your people AND tryna put them on is some real shit.
And then they turn on you😢
He's one of them good sounding rapper. Such a shame he plummeted down. The people who he calls "real friends" abuse his kindness and justuse him as ATM.
Good sounding rapper isn’t enough to keep the momentum going, one needs to be versatile and skilled to stay on top
@VipLexus4L 💯
Wow I never knew this about fetty. He’s a loyal, genuine person 😢
and what did that get him in the end ?
nothing wrong with being selfish and looking out for number1
50 did it right
create opportunity for your friends but when theyre not willing to work for it you cut them off
its really that simple
@010les 50 blew Eminem's pipe. That's why 50 is still relevant.
The downfall is he was too generous and because of that generosity it led to people taking advantage of him sometimes it gets to a point where you will need to help yourself before others
He did what Hammer did!!! Too generous!!
Damn, sad to hear this dude’s in prison. I remember when I was in high school people thought of him as a one hit wonder, but I always really liked his voice and a couple songs from him; I always wondered why he disappeared and I’m now sad to see why. Genuinely hope he can turn his life around when he gets out of prison, for real 🙏🏾
Really makes you grateful for what you have. Even when making it big he still couldn’t escape his bad influences.
He was still human
This comment is correct money and fame doesn't change how u are
@🔥 Lil XancheX 🔥 yea we kno that
I really enjoyed his brief reign on the charts and wish for him to have a major comeback again. His sound was a breath of fresh air in 2015!
He has a new track out called Sweet Yamz
@Michael Monfredo naw it was pretty good
@ACEY no wonder anyone can be famous nowadays. No talent is required.
@Michael Monfredo Talent hasn't existed in the music industry since the mid eighties.
This is just too sad for a guy with such a unique sound. I feel for his family as well. Like his real family not the bums that just leached off him. I hope this isn't the end for Fetty. I hope he has the biggest come back and does things differently this time.
I honestly don’t know how to feel after this one. The nastogia this brings as well as hearing him talk and learning about his story was incredible, he seems like sucha generous humble dude. However the ending with drugs and getting locked up kinda made this whole story pretty sad… needa happy ending in the next one Patrick
I remember back in my senior year of high school in 2015 I heard Trap Queen for the first time; I associate it with the day my friends and I, along with the other seniors, skipped school to spend the day at the beach. I’ll always have fond memories of that song for that reason, but I never knew the full story about the artist behind it until this video. Patrick always makes bangers ❤
He's a victim of the senseless drug war, nothing more. Not just an insanely talented artist, I think he's a very good person. With the right representation, he hopefully won't do much time and have a chance to come back to music someday. I wanna see him win.
Fetty’s burner?
Do you believe cocaine should be legal?
Insanely talented... thats the problem with kids these days, they assume whats plastered everywhere is = to talent lol
@Malte Eriksson Personally yes. It doesn’t stop anyone and just makes it much more dangerous than it needs to be, just like alcohol prohibition
Everybody watching this video we can all go help fetty out and stream his last album, considering what a genuinely kind human being he is. Look how many people he took care of and they all took advantage of him. I know he learned his lesson from that he still has a lot of learning to do as we all do.
Eric Frank Music just stream or buy it lol?
Mate don't just watch one video and form an opinion on a dude. The man was threatning to kill people and shit so it's safe to assume he probably isn't a saint
@makeawish comparatibely, yes lol
He tried to help too many people who were just taker. Take care of yourself first.

@🔥 Lil XancheX 🔥That’s a myth
Damn that quote goes hard 😂
@aol Lol, but too true, smh
@aol Lol because it's so true and sad at the same time.
Fetty’s first album to me is a masterpiece. Each song is a hit, 10/10. Loved his voice and his sound. My friends and I would always joke and call ourselves the Remy Boyz. I loved his music and it seemed like he was a very down to earth man who wanted the best for his friends. It’s just unfortunate how everything turned out and the choices that were made which were mistakes. My friends and I patiently await for his return and still think he has the potential to make it big.
Even when I was in Nigeria. Everyone used to love him 😆
Fettys hits could of lasted years if he spread it out.
@StrangeClouds nah that's not how it works
@ip2 underground Well no shit I'm just saying that's how good his first album was
@StrangeClouds that’s a fact
This is so crazy he really just faded out! I had no idea what he had going on other than making a lot of babies and him being posted in the Shaderoom. He had hits! Every single he put out from his debut album was a bop. My mom who's not even a big rap fan (boomer lol) still asks about him and likes his style/sound. I hope he can pull it together and make music again someday.
I never listened to him but I respect how hes a caring person and wants to help others
always loved your content but i'm happy you found something to lean in on. these vids go crazy, hope you enjoy making em as much as we love watching. much love bro
He was a genuinely good person caught in bad situation and friends. It's so sad watching a person who genuinely just wanna help get turn on like that
the actual problem is locking people in a cage for life for a non-violent crime.
@hi the effects of cocaine are pretty violent if you ask me
Having a video made ABOUT your downfall from Patrick CC
is a badge of honor while extremely depressing for your career
His dowfall was sad but no way you actually think fetty himself didn't play a part in his own downfall.
Also sunnyv2
Damn that hits hard n its funny at the same time😂😂
He seems like a humble generous loyal guy who worked hard for his friends/family to live the life he had sad to see him on a downwards spiral
This is actually really sad. He seems like such a sweet guy
Honestly this young man was extremely humble and talented but his mistake was trusting people it’s sad I pray that things get better for him he didn’t deserve what happened to him stay up fetty 🙏🏽💜🙏🏽💜
The way he treated his people, fair play to him, wish him well after all this!
I honestly respect fetty for wanting to put his friends and peers on after he blew up, but record labels are only about money so Monty had to feel bad, and I imagine fetty did too
I don’t !! He ran with goons and should’ve had common sense
He always seemed like a really genuine guy.
i live in the NY/NJ/CT tristate area and Fetty still gets radio play. I always wonder what happened to him when I hear him. This is tragic. It's noble to want to help the hood but you cant help others until you have a strong stable foundation for yourself. it's sad he didn't invest more in his future before his music career fizzled out.
He seems like a genuinely good dude. Too bad people take advantage of that. Hopefully he doesn't do all the time he may get.
Thanks for this Pat! I remember hearing Trap Queen and 679 all the time in 2014, and I’ve always wondered where he had been…. crazy to see what happened to him
The fact that you can get locked up for what is essentially life just for drugs yet child rapists get out in a mere 2-5 years absolutely enrages my soul.
'Just for drugs' are you out your mind?
@Bla Bla Are you trying to say drugs are worse than child rape?
@Bla Blayou’re weird bro
fetty was too real for the rap game
👏
he coulda changed tho
I grew up in the next town over and can confirm this is 100% true.
@rojas yeah, but you know how the music industry do people
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS PATRICK! Appreciate all your hard work!👊
He sounds like he's a very loyal guy. If he had a chance to do it again, I don't think he would change anything.
I believe the same, It feels like he did all the right things for some of the wrong people
I loved his songs! He’s voice is iconic, it’s a shame his ended up like this.
I believe that people took a vantage of his kind spirit and generosity. My mouth dropped when I heard how much money he was spending 😮
Ahh...I actually feel bad for him. He seemed like a pretty good guy who lost his way through all the corruption of the music industry & bad people :(
This man was his own worst enemy and he ruined his own community by running drugs. Its hard to feel empathy for someone who had every opportunity to make good changes in his life and just didnt.
growing up during this time, fetty was one of my favorite artists. i loved him and i’m also from Nj. not far from paterson, and all of us nj kids would bump him 24/7. loved his voice and unique sound. i hope things change for the better. great video patrick!
im from nj too! we always used to be on that "I sAiD hEy WuSsUp HelLo!!!!!!"
im from nj as well. back in elementary school, we used to bump to his music EVERYDAY. what a time to be alive back then
yea Im from the east side of Paterson and fetty was always getting played growing up
Not all of us lmao 🤣
@Lamarr Sutton not sure if that’s you in ur pfp but no shit you were prob already 20 by the time we were kids lmfaoo no offense but you look much older. so that’s fine! no need to comment that lmao
I’m upset at Fetty’s downfall. I genuinely loved his lyrics and rap style. His biggest hits I still listen to this day
He dropped a new song recently called "sweet yamz"
hes too nice for the music industry, especially rap. god bless him man.
I feel bad for Fetty, deeply saddened by this. But I feel this was meant to happen for him to grow. The fame would of corrupted him even more and more people would take advantage. Could of ended up dead too, so I hope Fetty comes out better than ever cause he has a good heart deep down.
Everything I just hear in the beginning sounds exactly like me.
I do this all the time,
I have mad respect for that and good things will come to him.
If i ever get famous, I would pay his bail and but him a forever house and a free spot, always on my album.
He deserves that.
Its eery how similar he is to me
Love how this channel covers a variety of topics, but goes into such detail with all of them
It was actually kinda scary to me how he went from being everywhere, like you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing his name or one of his songs, to just dropping off the face
You can always depend on Patrick to put out quality videos, another good one right here! good work man!
I respect how loyal he is to his team, even if it was to a fault. Seems like a real dude
this man had so much potential, its sad seeing it be wasted like this
You know yeah he didn’t do things the smartest way money wise, but he kept his Soul & tried to maintain those priceless friendships…I never knew all this about him, he’s pretty awesome actually
As a 2000s kid who was growing up during the mid-late 2010s, Trap Queen was damn near EVERYWHERE.
It only grew much bigger and spread more further due to how much it was used in Vine back when it was still up.
I think about the lives od all his children, smh
God damn I feel old reading that
I was in my last years of Highschool when he was popular but still like damn we got our own “eras” n shit 😂
@crocodilevondej Man, I was like around 11-12 when Fetty Wap released Trap Queen and Vine started getting popular.
I'm 20 now 😭
Class of 2017 here I was a sophomore 2015
@Swaggy-G 2102 2014 was lit, bro
honestly his legendary hit run 100% came from him and his delivery.. has a guaranteed comeback waiting for him anytime God willing he get his life rehabilitated . You have to be so insanely talented and lucky to get even a one hit wonder, but he really nailed it 4 times in a row in a culturally significant manner. He’s not really given enough credit for steering the “popular music” genre further into rap/hip hop. Wish him all the best
I actually feel sorry for him. He seemed like a good guy
He's a real one, mad respect for this man.
Trap Queen was an era in itself
i love fetty wap so much and this makes me so sad. in the depths of my addiction i was in jail and trap queen was really popular, someone scratched trap queen into the door in my cell and it was constantly on repeat in my head the whole time. this makes me feel i should write him and send him love. i can only imagine how sad and lonely this sentence must feel.
I feel bad since all his friends turned on him. This is why you should never be too kind. Hope his family visits him everyday
Your video’s always make my day keep up the grind man
Love your channel bro, the way you analyze these come ups and fall offs is unmatched 🤞🏾
I've never been a fan of Fetty Wap but I remember feeling bad for him when one of his daughters died. I also remember being disappointed when he got arrested for dealing drugs. I hope that he doesn't have to spend *too* much time in prison!
Also, the usage of "end" as a substitute for "kill" was a little awkward. I know that you're trying to avoid getting demonetized but still! 😅
Fetty definitely has a big heart, from my own personal experiences as sad as it is, bringing people close to you up with you will most of the time cause them to change and turn on you once they see success themselves, you are no longer needed to them. Bringing people up with you is like fucking yourself over once you hit your peak. It’s eat or be eaten.
Dude was literally everywhere in summer 2015 amazing times
He dropped a new song recently called "sweet yamz"
I still remember back when EVERYONE was bumping Fetty Wap’s music. He could had a legendary career on the same level as Travis Scott or Post Malone. He might have the most undeserved fall off of any recent rapper.
imma be honest, i've never listened to a single fetty wap song. i'm just here because you are really good at presenting these stories in a way that gets me invested
Go listen to one
@versatile duplicity id rather not
@NintendoRuns your loss 🤷🏾♂️
@Charleston White ?
Fetty actually sounds like a really great guy and an amazing friend, he didnt want fame or attention just bread for his family and homies, and when it came to gang stuff he played it smart, if anyone where to retaliate that guy who took Fetty's chain the Feds would have a motive and could immediately arrest him, even if it fetty had nothing to do with it
Losing his daughter man that’s terrible I feel for him
Honestly had such a unique sound when he first came out! Hope he makes a comeback!
Hes said many times that he didn't like music. His mom forced him to listen to music as a punishment. He ended up liking music once everyone told him he actually had a chance to blow up and he did. It's not surprising to me that he didn't stay in the spotlight. He's unfortunately too caught up in that Paterson lifestyle.
Man I miss fetty he was a real one 💯
He dropped a new song recently called "sweet yamz
Patrick!! You are REALLY DOIN' UR THANG On these videos Bro. Straight up. I'm Proud to see these Extremely WELL DONE Documentaries! 💪🏼👍🏼🤜🏼🤛🏽
He may have fallen off n is going through it but I still listen to him like he’s still #1 to this day 🔥
A couple things not mentioned:
Fetty also dropped "You Know The Vibes" which is a phenomenal project
Butterfly Effect is his best project ever imo
Let's not forget his last hit which is the Birthday track ft Monty. It was on the radio all the time. And is easily one of his best songs ever.
He still makes great music and u still listen to him often.
Fetty was always street and fell back to it when he noticed his numbers (both music and money) dropped. But you could've included a lot more in this. His daughter Lauren died and his brother Twyshon. Besides that he had to bury many close relatives, he's mention in many interviews. His come up just went too fast, and so did his downfall, but as you can tell a genuine, smart and thinkful guy with a plan. Pretty sure this ain't the last of him we hear.
Eric Frank Music sure shoot me a dm on instagram, same name
Music is about unity, not hating someone and welcoming his hometown putting him down. Higher levels doesn't require higher money. Respect and love goes a long way and would change yours and my life today
I totally respect him for not caving into the fakeness of the music industry. He could’ve caved and left behind his friends but he stood by them AND made himself successful. Respect.
I thought last week probably “damn I haven’t heard Fetty Wap in a while” I now see why, thank you sir
so u didn't hear sweet yamz...
@Patrick Cc: I ignored Fetty Wap so I didn’t know Sweet Yamz came out
i refuse to believe you haven't heard the absolute banger that is sweet yams
@Patrick Cc: I have not heard sweet yamz😂 looking it up now
@shots infired wtf😂😂 my biggest regret is not knowing of this song so I could pull up to family thanksgiving absolutely blaring sweet yams😂😂
I don't know too much about fetty, but I like the trap queen song, and I think it's dope how he wasn't embarrassed by his disability and embraced it, that's awesome. He also seems like a VERY GENEROUS person, but unfortunately I think his generosity lead to fake friends that brought him down the wrong path.. I'm only about halfway thru with this, but the fact that he wouldn't release the drake remix cuz he didn't like that the guy's who's song it was was cut out, that it's NOT just about the money.
I feel bad he got caught up tho..
Fetty has my respect. He's the most honest and down to earth artist I've ever seen
I don't know why ppl are shocked, he convinced a whole generation that being a trap queen was something glamorous! I used to hate hearing that song bc it's nothing but turmoil, anxiety, depravity & loss! I spent my early 20s like that & ull gladly "let it go" 4 peace!
Damn, I didn't listen to homie's music, but learning about all the corrupt shit is crucial to everyone listening. He could've fed himself, & future generations, for decades if he just utilized music, instead of the streets.
Man unlike a lot of these scumbags in rap, Fetty seem chill af, nothing but love n respect to dude.
hearing that he took care of everyone besides himself was sad to hear knowing hes going to prison most likely.
