New Jersey rapper Fetty Wap is making headlines this week for having two hit records on Billboard’s Hot 100 Top 10 chart.
According to reports, Fetty is the latest male hip-hop artist since Lil Wayne to enjoy two Top 10 records thanks to “My Way” and “Trap Queen.”
Fetty Wap is the first male rapper, as a lead act, to have two concurrent top 10 singles in nearly four years. It last happened on the Sept. 3, 2011-dated chart, when Lil Wayne debuted at No. 2 with “She Will,” featuring Drake, and dropped 6-8 with “How to Love.” (The last time any male rapper had two simultaneous top 10 cuts, even as a featured act, was on the April 6, 2013 list. Drake was No. 7 that week with “Started From the Bottom,” and was featured on Lil Wayne’s “Love Me,” at No. 9.) (Billboard)

Wap recently talked about the story behind purchasing his dreads.
“They’re real dreads, but I didn’t grow them. It’s a lady that I know from Newark, [New Jersey] who cut her hair off. She was a powerful person to me. She spoke a lot of positive things. You don’t just put anybody’s hair on your head. Since I did it, the last 50 songs I’ve did, I’ve recorded, they’ve all been some of the hottest songs I’ve did, just from the good energy I’ve been getting.” (Hot 97)
Fetty jumped onto social media recently to touch up on his new look.
