Bio
It’s always interesting to watch the birth and development of a person’s talent. There are lots of ways to succeed, but the popular rapper Fetty Wap chose a wavy one.
He was born as Willie Junior Maxwell II in Paterson, New Jersey in a family of upstanding, conscientious parents. He had three little sisters and a brother. Willie was educated at Paterson Public School No. 6, which he didn’t like. The boy was keen on music since his childhood years. He played music with his father at weekends. His mother was a choir singer.
Although Willie lived a normal family life, there was something, which made him unhappy. He was a newborn when he lost his left eye. The baby boy was diagnosed with congenital glaucoma. He was bullied for his physical drawback at school. At first, he fought with classmates, who laughed at him. But in his teens, he felt stronger and made peace with his state of health. He even removed the prosthetic eye.
Willie liked hip hop and planned to become a professional artist. But he lost the right life way in his teens. He left school and started to sell drugs. He was out of money, and at that time he became a father of a little boy Zoovier.
In 2014 fate finally smiled at him. He recorded a song “Trap Queen” and uploaded it online. The track immediately became a hit. The song featured on Billboard 100 for weeks, and that made Fetty Wap a star. After that, the rapper released his eponymous debut album, which became platinum. Nowadays, the artist’s fans are looking forward to his second studio album.
