Fetty Wap is now in home confinement after being transferred from prison, but he faces stringent conditions before regaining full freedom. The rapper, known for hits like “Trap Queen,” is currently under the supervision of the US Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) following his transfer on January 7, 2026, from the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Sandstone in Minnesota to community confinement.
The BOP confirmed this transition, indicating that Fetty Wap is under the auspices of the Philadelphia Residential Reentry Management Office. His home confinement is scheduled to conclude on November 8, 2026, but strict guidelines will govern his life during the next five years.
Upon his release, the rapper must adhere to a detailed set of regulations. According to reports from TMZ, these include mandatory drug testing and a prohibition on opening any new bank accounts without prior approval from federal agents. Additionally, Fetty Wap must report his earnings and tax documents to the U.S. Probation Department.
Consumption of alcohol or other intoxicants remains prohibited unless prescribed by a licensed physician. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the court may require him to attend an outpatient drug treatment program, which would include ongoing testing to ensure compliance.
Fetty Wap’s release from the low-security facility was officially announced on January 8, 2026. In a statement shared by Loren LoRosa from The Breakfast Club, he expressed gratitude for the support from family, friends, and fans. He stated, “I want to thank my family, friends, and fans for the love, prayers, and continued support—it truly means everything to me.”
The rapper emphasized his commitment to community initiatives aimed at helping at-risk youth, focusing on education, early tech skills, and vision care. He stated, “I’m committed to moving forward with purpose and making a meaningful impact where it matters most.”
In 2023, Fetty Wap was sentenced to six years in prison for federal drug trafficking charges, which included an additional five years of supervision. His initial release date had been set for December 8, 2026, but it was moved up, allowing him to begin home confinement earlier than expected.
As he navigates this new chapter, Fetty Wap’s focus on community impact and personal growth reflects his determination to move forward positively.
