Fetty Wap has been released from prison early after spending the past three years behind bars.
The 34-year-old "Trap Queen" rapper is no longer in custody, having been transferred to community confinement on Jan. 7, a spokesperson for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons confirmed to USA TODAY. He has been incarcerated since August 2022 and was sentenced the following year to six years in prison.
His confinement is overseen by the BOP's Philadelphia Residential Reentry Management Office, spokesperson Emery Nelson said, noting, "Community confinement means the inmate is in either home confinement or a Residential Reentry Center (RRC, or halfway house)."
Fetty Wap, whose real name is Willie Junior Maxwell II, shared an update with his social media followers on Jan. 8, simply writing "home" in an Instagram story.
Maxwell's projected release date is Nov. 8.
When reached by USA TODAY, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York declined comment.
In a statement issued to USA TODAY by his publicist, Abesi Manyando, Maxwell said, "I want to thank my family, friends, and fans for the love, prayers, and continued support — it truly means everything to me."
