Fetty Wap arrested ahead of Rolling Loud on federal drug trafficking charges

Fetty Wap expected his Halloween weekend to go much differently than this.

The 30-year-old rapper was set to perform at the Rolling Loud music festival at Citi Field in New York on Thursday night, but as reported by CNN and TMZ, he was instead arrested by the FBI.

"As alleged, the defendants transported, distributed and sold more than 100 kilograms of deadly and addictive drugs, including heroin and fentanyl, on Long Island, deliberately contributing to the opioid epidemic that has devastated our communities and taken too many lives," United States Attorney Breon Peace said, per CNN. "We will continue to work nonstop with our law enforcement partners to keep our neighborhoods safe from the scourge of dangerous drugs and gun violence."

There are five other defendants in the case (h/t NBC News).

TMZ additionally relayed that legal documents detailed "$1.5 million in cash, 16 kilograms of cocaine, two kilograms of heroin, fentanyl pills, pistols, handguns and a rifle" were recovered during the investigation.
