The popular Willie Junior Maxwell II was born on June 7, 1991, in Paterson, New Jersey, United States, and is widely known as an American rapper, singer, and songwriter.
He rose to prominence after his debut single “Trap Queen” reached number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in May 2015. This helped Fetty Wap secure a record deal with 300 Entertainment.
Maxwell was born and raised in Paterson, New Jersey. He was born with glaucoma in both eyes, Maxwell revealed in a 2015 interview that doctors were unable to save his left eye and instead fitted him with an ocular prosthesis. He attended Eastside High School before dropping out to pursue his music career.
Does Fetty Wap still have his eye?
No, there were rumors that he was shot in the eye, stirring people’s curiosity even more. However, The Sun recently noted that Fetty Wap, whose real name is Willie Junior Maxwell II, lost his left eye before his first birthday in 1992. The 31-year-old rapper never opened up about the cause of his long-time disability until he sat for an interview in 2015.
At that time, the rapper told DJ Self on Shade 45 that he lost his eye after an accident. “When I was little, I had gotten into a little accident and it gave me congenital glaucoma in both of my eyes,” he said. “The doctor saved one, I was blessed to still have my vision. That’s it. That’s the story.”
