After serving time on federal drug charges, Fetty Wap was released on January 8, 2026 and has slowly been stepping back into the spotlight. Born and raised in Paterson, he later called Fort Lee home, where members of our team previously spotted him at local staples before he was sent away, including Pizza Nova, IPIC Theaters, and Ventanas Restaurant & Lounge. Now that he is back in New Jersey, the sightings have picked up again. He has been seen at American Dream, stopped by John Anthony Jewelers, grabbed food at Kennedy Fried Chicken, and even sat down with Gia Giudice for a podcast appearance. And that is just the start of his recent Jersey pop-ups.
