FETTY WAP PLEADS GUILTY IN DRUG TRAFFICKING CASE
YourPlug4AllYourEntJuice 4
GUILTY!
Fetty Wap has pleaded guilty to federal drug charges in connection to his interstate drug trafficking case. The New Jersey native remains behind bars after having his $500,000 bond revoked in July. The “Trap Queen” rapper was in Long Island Federal Court on Monday (August 22) where he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess and distribute 500 grams of cocaine, according to the New York Daily News. The guilty plea comes with a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum of 40 years. Prosecutors allegedly labeled
Fetty Wap “a kilogram-level redistributor for the trafficking organization” when arresting him along with five others before his Rolling Loud NYC performance in October 2021 in Queens, New York. During the investigation, the FBI obtained $1.5 million in cash, 16 kilograms of cocaine, two kilograms of heroin, fentanyl pills, pistols, handguns and a rifle. “I agreed with other people to distribute cocaine,” Fetty told the judge. “Guilty.” Fetty Wap’s attorney, Elizabeth Macedonio, made sure to clarify that his guilty plea does not mean he’s cooperating with authorities. “He’s not cooperating. I want that to be very, very clear,” she said outside the courtroom.Fetty Wap — born Willie Maxwell II — posted a $500,000 bond using his Georgia home in November. His bond was revoked in July by Federal Magistrate Judge Steven Locke once footage of Fetty making threats and waving a gun on a December FaceTime call went viral. “Imma kill you and everybody you with,” court filings alleged Fetty stated on FaceTime. Fetty remains at a special housing unit in Brooklyn Federal Jail and Macedonio argued that she’s “very concerned” about his housing situation in the “harshest of conditions” and has requested he be transferred, but that will be up to the discretion of the Bureau of Prisons and the US Marshals Service.

Artist Spotlite THE NEPHEW
J.Red the Nephew, Atlanta Resident and North Carolina native, knew from a very young age that music was his true passion. Growing up listening to his radio he would often imitate the vocal stylings of his musical influences: Marvin Gaye, Teddy Pendergrass, Luther Vandross, Charlie Wilson and Peabo Bryson. Further being, taken in by the New Jack Swing sound he also aspired to have the ear and production skills of its founding father, Teddy Riley. Red also knew that ultimately music was his true calling and made the steps to follow it as a career path. Though, his genre of choice is Soul and R&B singing, this versatile artist is also a talented songwriter and producer. Owner of WRSV 92.1 Jams, Chuck Johnson said of J. Red, “He has the best production and song quality I have ever heard from an artist based out of eastern North Carolina, his music is competitive with product from major labels in rotation now”. J.Red began his official musical career as a member of the R&B group Average Guyz. While with the group J. Red began what would be preparation for his solo career. Taking advantage of every opportunity his journey afforded him, Red found himself recording at Master Sound Studio in Virginia Beach. During this time he had the opportunity to record with such artists as Missy Elliot, Chad Hugo of The Neptunes as well as Big Bub (former lead singer of the 90s New Jack Swing group, Today). Red's knowledge of studio engineering, production and songwriting enabled him to pursue the vision of owning his own production company, Soul Mop Music Group, Inc. J. Red's R&B single In Your Dreams was rated 35 of the top 50 songs for 2005 in the UK at WWW.soulsorts.com beating out such artists as Mary J. Blige, Usher, Jeffery Osborne and Earth, Wind & Fire to name a few. The single also made it to the number 5 spot of the top 50 singles in the UK for 2007 on the Hip List at WWW.bluesandsoul.com.
J. Red released his first Southern Soul single "My Good Thang" in April of 2013 and caught the attention of the Southern Soul fans abroad. With the the release of his collaboration "Keep On Dancing" feat. Theodis Ealey, a living legend in the genre, J. Red was endorsed and accepted as the nephew to Southern Soul. He has several singles "Give It To Me, Drop That, I Will, Step Out, Turn It Out, Loving On You" all making serious buzz in the southern and lower North Eastern regions as well. Paul Andre, PD of Power 95.5 radio ...."J. Red is a high quality artist and producer that has what it takes to make it in the major leagues". With the release of his 2015, debut southern soul album, "Soul Certified" and his 2018 compilation LP J. Red the Nephew and Friends, (WICH WON BLUES CRITIC ALBUM OF THE YEAR FOR 2018) he has proven that his production skills are world class. His 2019 cd release Platinum Soul 10 track album has taken the Soul\Blues genre by storm once again! His latest LP Nephew Swing is introducing a new sound by J. Red the Nephew and is highly anticipated by the Soul Blues genre. Shay Denise's LP “Soul of a Woman” which features her smash singles "A man's World, Addicted, and You Can Get It, is a product of his production as well. His newest artist NayCole hit the scene with two monster grooves produced by J. Red, "Somebody Else Will " and "I Aint Your Other Woman" that are both gaining respect from the critics. J. Red the Nephew has walked through the door with a combination of R&B and Southern Soul that will command you to listen and enjoy.
