Who I Am: Fetty Wap, From Paterson, New Jersey

I'm Fetty Wap, a rapper, singer and songwriter from Paterson, New Jersey. This store holds the merch from my records, and this post is the short version of where it all comes from.

What is my real name?

My name is Willie Junior Maxwell II. I was born on June 7, 1991, in Paterson, New Jersey, and Paterson is where I was raised.

What does my music sound like?

Melodic rapping and singing, over trap and R&B-leaning hip-hop. I rap the verses and I sing the hooks, and that mix runs through every record I've made.

When did it start?

My first mixtape, Up Next, came out in July 2014. The same year I recorded "Trap Queen", my debut single, and in November 2014 I signed to 300 Entertainment.

What happened with "Trap Queen"?

"Trap Queen" went to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned two Grammy nominations, for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance. Then came "679" and "My Way", both top-ten Hot 100 singles, and in September 2015 my debut album, Fetty Wap, opened at number one on the Billboard 200.

What came after?

Mixtapes like Zoovier, Lucky No. 7, Bruce Wayne and Trap & B, and the albums The Butterfly Effect, King Zoo and, in March 2026, Zavier. The next posts go through them.

What is in the shop?

The designs come from those records: the Trap Queen crown, the block 1738 mark, the chrome Fetty Wap poster and portraits in paint and on camera. They come on tees, long sleeves, crewnecks and hoodies, and every product page has its own size chart.

Everything is in the shop.
