New Jersey rapper Fetty Wap has been arrested again after violating his parole. Feds have now revoked his bond and claim he made threats while waving a gun during a FaceTime call.

As a refresher: Back in October 2021, Fetty, real name William Maxwell, was arrested for drug trafficking on Long Island, New York.
The feds say the rapper allegedly worked with a crew of five other people, and together they trafficked more than 100 kilograms of drugs on the island.
Fetty ended up pleading not guilty after his arrest. The rapper was then released from jail on a $500,000 personal recognizance bond, and has since been out.

However, since Fetty’s release, the feds say they caught him making a threatening video call to a John Doe on December 11, 2021, leading to his arrest on Monday (Aug. 8).
Prosecutors from the Eastern District of New York state in new court documents that Fetty violated the conditions of his release with said video call.
Court documents claim Fetty called the man a “rat” and threatened, “I’mma k*ll you and everybody you with,” then again repeated, “I’m gonna k*ll you.“
An FBI agent wrote in an affidavit, “This was a direct violation of both state law and the condition of his release.”
During Fetty’s bail revocation hearing in Central Islip federal court, Magistrate Judge Steven Locke revoked Fetty’s bond pending trial in his drug trafficking case.

Meanwhile, the rapper’s attorney, Elizabeth Macedonio, claimed that her client was set up.
Macedonio says that days earlier, John Doe attacked her client first after he allegedly posted a photo of the rapper’s deceased 4-year-old daughter, Lauren Maxwell, and captioned the post, “I’m happy she’s dead because her father is a rat.”
Back in July 2021, Fetty’s daughter Lauren died of complications caused by congenital heart arrhythmia.
Macedonio told Judge Locke, “He was very manipulative in trying to get a rise out of Mr. Maxwell, to agitate him in a way no parent would have to face…the death of one’s 4-year-old daughter is something no one should use as a ploy.”
While the judge admitted he was sympathetic to anyone who had lost a child, he still ordered that the rapper have his bond revoked and remain detained. Judge Locke claimed Fetty was “clearly deploying a gun to threaten to kill someone.”
