I’m not a fan of Fat Joe or Fetty but I must say this was an engaging interview. Discussion points:
- Fetty had 10 mill in album sales but still went broke due to bad contracts and managers
- Fetty discusses the night of his 4 year old daughters death
- Recent RICO indictment
-Depression (he went from being in the hot spot with Drake to nothing, no features
- mental health concerns: talks about being in a real dark space when the fame and money is no longer there along with the people he lost. How he feels like he has to front and put on a facade to fight his inner demons
-Lost his eyesight as a child (reason for eye condition)
- having to pay for his own tours, marketing out of his pocket despite being a double platinum artist
Really sad interview but gems were dropped. Basically Fetty Wap seems a lot more humble and personable. Personally, I think if Fetty would have been more in touch with himself like he is in this interview - he wouldn’t be seen as a one hit wonder gimmicky type rapper. Because clearly he is very articulate and thoughtful.

Sidebar- The Drake curse in full effect it seems, puffy passed the torch. Any artist doing one offs with Drake seems to turn their career into sh-t.
