A mom from Denver wrote heartfelt letter to Fetty Wap thanking him for giving her 10 year-old son Jayden the courage not to wear his prosthetic eye. Incase you didn’t know at birth Fetty Wap was diagnosed with a rare eye disease called, congenital glaucoma, which caused him to have one of his eyes removed. For most of his life the New Jersey rapper, wore a prosthetic eye however stopped when his rap career began to take off to maintain a unique image. Like Fetty Wap, 10 year-old Jayden wore a prosthetic eye after being diagnosed with Retinoblastoma, a rare tumor in the retina. After Jayden learned of Fetty Wap he was inspired to take out his prosthetic eye. His mother wrote a Facebook post thanking the “Trap Queen” rapper for being such an inspiration to her son. Check out the touching letter below.

Fetty Wap shot to superstardom in the last few months, thanks to the success of his breakout single, “Trap Queen.” The New Jersey native has proven he’s more than a one hit wonder as he continues to drop anthem after anthem (just ask LeBron or Drizzy!), but just as much as he’s known for his catchy music – he’s known for his not-so-traditional look too. One eye and fake dreads? Not exactly what one would think “works” in entertainment – but it does! However, before the fame came this past year, Fetty was rocking his prosthetic eye back home in Paterson, as well as a low cut at one point and braids at another. Pretty dope to see how much his style has evolved! Check out his back-in-the-day pics in the gallery! Squuuuad!
