Fetty Wap Accident: Rapper Updates Fans on His Condition After Motorcycle Crash
Fetty Wap has taken to social media to update fans on his health condition following his motorcycle accident over the weekend. The rapper seemed to be in good spirits still as he thanks fans for their support.
In an Instagram video message posted on Sunday, the "Trap Queen" rapper said he sustained broken bones during the motorcycle crash. In the short clip, the 25-year-old thanked his supporters and assured he will be back to health in no time.
"I appreciate all my fans praying for me, man. I had a little accident but I'm straight. I mean, I broke my leg in three places, but I'll be alright. I really appreciate you all for real," he said in the video.
Fetty Wap, born Willie Maxwell in New Jersey, also captioned his video with, "Appreciate Ya so much for the prayers ... they told me don't make a video but I'm still breathing so I gotta let ya no I'll be back."
The rapper was involved in a head-on collision with another vehicle on Sept. 25 at his hometown of Paterson, New Jersey. According to TMZ, he was treated on the scene and was already responsive before he was taken to a local hospital, where he was checked for possible fractures. He was already conscious at the hospital and was photographed sitting up with a splint strapped to his leg.
It's believed Fetty Wap was responsible for the accident. An eyewitness told TMZ that he overtook a passing vehicle and didn't see a car heading his way, resulting to the head-on collision. The woman driving the opposing vehicle was reportedly also hurt.
According to the Associated Press, the rapper has since received three summonses following the road accident. Paterson Police Director Jerry Speziale said Fetty Wap was cited for driving without a license, failure to present a vehicle registration card and failure to acquire insurance.
The accident reportedly came just a day after the rapper released his self-titled debut album, which features his hits "Trap Queen" and "My Way." Fetty Wap previously talked to Rolling Stone about his album, sharing about how it is important to him.
"Even if the album don't go anywhere, that doesn't mean nothing to me. I did what most people said I wouldn't do. And I overcame, I guess you could say, a lot of rookie boundaries. I just shot past what a lot of people expected," he said.
