Fetty Wap Explains Why His Album Has No Major Features
Fetty Wap will release his debut, self-titled album on September 25, and some were surprised to see that the tracklist has no major guests other than his Remy Boyz crew member/best friend, Monty. So what gives? “I didn’t have no features on ‘Trap Queen.’ It was just me,” Fetty told Rolling Stone in a new interview. “Before I came out with another song, ‘Trap Queen’ was doing so good, but only the name Fetty Wap was behind it. I made my name already. When they hear the album, it’s gonna be Fetty Wap, the artist, featuring his brothers. There’s no superstars on the album; my brothers are superstars to me.” Love that!
SO Dope: Fetty Wap Responds After Inspiring Child To Ditch Prosthetic Eye & Embrace Retinoblastoma
Fetty Wap’s issues with glaucoma required him to have an operation on his eyes at a very early age. Unfortunately only one was able to be salvaged, and he went on to wear a prosthesis in the other eye for years following. As he got into his late teens, however, Fetty decided the fake eye was no longer needed – as it not only gave him headaches when using it, but he also wasn’t ashamed to be different from his peers. Thus, “One Eyed Willy” was born, and he became the guy we know and love today. Now he’s not only breaking records with his hit songs, but Fetty is inspiring people as well, and one such person is a young man by the name of Jayden. Jayden’s mom, Brenda Vaden (wait hold up – not to sidetrack here, but does that mean this kid’s name is Jayden Vaden? Like, it rhymes? Do you pronounce Vaden with a short A perhaps? Maybe they have different last names?!), took to Instagram recently to reveal that Fetty inspired her son to remove his prosthetic eye, and no longer be ashamed of his retinoblastoma.
