Fetty Wap‘s team announced on socials that the rapper will return with a new single on Friday (May 9).
The rapper’s team shared the news on his socials on Wednesday (May 7). In the post, they noted that they’d also be starting a petition to get Fetty out from behind bars, where he’s been since pleading guilty to federal drug charges back in 2023.
“His freedom was taken, but not his voice,” the post read, announcing that a new track titled “Forever (71943509)” would be coming on Friday. “A raw, emotional track straight from Fetty Wap’s heart. This isn’t just music — it’s his truth, his story, and his fight. The petition to help Fetty fight for a pardon and his freedom is live now … Let’s bring our brother home.”
“Forever” will mark the rapper’s first release since going to prison. He was previously arrested in October 2021, after prosecutors unveiled an indictment against him and five others. Prosecutors said Fetty had helped ship more than 100 kilograms of drugs from California to Long Island, contributing to “the addiction and overdose epidemic we have seen time and time again tear people’s lives apart.” The rapper pled guilty to a single charge of conspiring to distribute at least 500 grams of cocaine, and was sentenced to six years in prison.
The news comes just a few months after the rapper’s 2015 song “Again” topped the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart back in February. The song became part of a trend where fans played the track through a JBL speaker from 10 years ago, giving the song new life on streaming services.
