Why was Fetty Wap arrested?
Speaking of his latest arrest, Fetty Wap was jailed after he waved a gun at an individual over a FaceTime call and threatened to kill him after the unknown person called the rapper a “rat” aka a snitch, as reported by TMZ.

According to the New York Post, prosecutors from the Eastern District of New York stated that Fetty violated the conditions of his release with the threatening video call on December 11, 2021, which led to his arrest on Monday.
