Fetty Wap credited 50 Cent for being there for him more than anyone else in the music industry during his federal drug case, which saw him spend more than three years behind bars.
Following his release from a Minnesota prison earlier this week, Fetty pulled up to The Breakfast Club on Friday (Jan. 9) for his first interview since regaining his freedom.
“50 did a lot for me,” Fetty admitted. “From day one, it was like, ‘Whatever you need, just holler at me.’ I’m like, ‘All right.’ Then [he] was like, ‘Where this money going?’ I’m like, ‘What?’ I ain’t used to that. I’m used to it’s always the other way around.”
Whether it was financially or just being able to hop on the phone and give the 34-year-old some advice, 50 was there and ready to help “Whatever I needed, he was right there,” Fetty continued. “He answered the phone. He didn’t shy off all the way down to the time I’m about to come home, ‘How you getting home?’ As far as financial and mental help, he was probably there the biggest.”
Some of their conversations included 50 imploring Fetty to “stop f—ing up” and how he “should’ve never stopped making music.” 50 was there for motivation as well. “You should’ve kept going hard,” Fetty said in his best Queens accent.
50 Cent reposted the clip of Fetty showing him love on The Breakfast Club to his Instagram, while welcoming the “Trap Queen” rapper home.

Outside of 50, Fetty mentioned artists like Coi Leray, Chief Keef and Albee Al for helping him in different ways while he was locked up.
Fetty Wap was released from prison on Thursday (Jan. 8) about 11 months ahead of his expected release date, which was set for December.
Fetty was arrested in September 2021 ahead of his Rolling Loud NYC performance on federal drug charges as prosecutors alleged he transported 100 kilograms of drugs from California and distributed them in Long Island.
The New Jersey native pleaded guilty to a single charge of conspiring to distribute at least 500 grams of cocaine in August 2022. Fetty was ultimately sentenced to six years in prison in May 2023. He served over three years behind bars in a Minnesota prison before being released earlier this week.
“I want to thank my family, friends, and fans for the love, prayers, and continued support — it truly means everything to me,” Fetty shared in a statement with Billboard. “Right now, my focus is on giving back through my community initiatives and foundation, supporting at-risk young children by expanding access to education, early tech skills, and vision care for young kids and students so they can show up as their best selves. I’m committed to moving forward with purpose and making a meaningful impact where it matters most.”
