Fetty Wap Transferred to Home Confinement After Three Years of a Six-Year Sentence

The move places the rapper under strict federal supervision with a projected end of custody on Nov. 8, 2026.

Overview

  • Bureau of Prisons officials confirmed he was moved on Jan. 7 from FCI Sandstone in Minnesota to community confinement overseen by the agency’s Philadelphia office.
  • His home-confinement terms require regular drug testing, no alcohol or intoxicants without a prescription, limits on opening new bank accounts, and full reporting of earnings and tax records, with possible outpatient treatment if ordered.
  • Fetty Wap posted “Home” on social media and issued a statement thanking supporters and pledging to focus on community initiatives for at-risk children, including education, tech skills and vision care.
  • He was arrested in October 2021, had his bond revoked in August 2022 after an alleged threatening FaceTime incident, pleaded guilty later that month to a cocaine conspiracy charge, and was sentenced in May 2023 to six years plus five years of supervised release.
  • Prosecutors said the trafficking scheme moved more than 100 kilograms of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl and crack from the West Coast to Long Island and New Jersey using the U.S. Postal Service and vehicles with hidden compartments.
