You think of melodies. You think of Patterson, New Jersey. You think of even though we sponsored by 18001738 owes this man Robin jeans they oldest man. You think of several sold out key words sold out stadiums and arenas. You think of somebody that when you usually when you, when you come out and have such an impact, it's hard to hit another one out the park like my brother Crackers. You think of this guy, he's constantly smacking them out the park. You think of a great father. Think of somebody that was able to overcome adversity. You think of somebody that's able to about to do it again. You know what I mean? Being on top is always beautiful. Being at the top of the mountain. When you're able to fall off and get back to the top of the mountain, you're a special individual. Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for my brother Fetty.
Ebro Darden
Wow,
Fetty Wap
There's though man.

Ebro Darden
You already know, man.
Jada
No doubt. I seen you in there working out, getting your mind right, seeing you. Come home. He actually had a. A different kind of come home like him. I put him and Max B in the top.
Ebro Darden
Come home.
Jada
Max B came.
Ebro Darden
French waited for him. I don't know how much of a pause it is. It sound like something. Come on,
Jada
come on.
Joe Crack
Come home.
Ebro Darden
Ain't no home. He had one of the best come homes. Yo, my man, that's why that's not a horse.
Jada
Cause your mother and my mother said it over 40 billion times.
Ebro Darden
Come on. I can never be a partner, okay?
Jada
But his release. We go get our Harvard jargon up. His release from incarceration was one of the best and different and amazing that we seen, like, Max B. Where he actually went to see the lane. He went directly to the bag. Let me out. Let me go talk to these people to see how we gonna get back to the bread, you know what I mean?
Ebro Darden
Man, let me. Let me ask you something, man. So you go to jail, right? I don't know what you want me to say.
Jada
Nothing. My hands was tight.
Ebro Darden
What happens with Fetty Bond, who has four number one hits? I'm not talking about urban. I'm talking about number one. Out the park. Cyndi Lauper, Fetty Wap. Right? Four in a row, right? In your worst day. In a crackhead day. I used to tell Remy this all the time. So you're Remy and I crackhead. They will get 5,000 a piece to perform forever. We do four, we make 20,000. You and your worst day for four number ones. In your worst. In the crackhead day will be 20,000. The show. You got four. Four number ones. You do four or five of them a month, that's $100,000. That's a principal salary of a year.
Jada
This is in the worst. In his worst.
Ebro Darden
No, this is crackhead.
Jada
Yeah, crackhead.
Ebro Darden
I could not understand for the life of me, how do you get into this trouble? Could you break that down? Us? Why did that happen? What. What put you in that position?
Fetty Wap
I mean. I mean, it's real simple, though. Like, it's simple as far as, like, how it happened and how I got to that point. Just doing too much with people. Like the saying, go. Like I kept pouring out an empty cup. You know what I'm saying? Even though I kept filling the cup back up, it kept running empty until I could not fill a cup up no more. You know what I'm saying? At a certain point, it was like, you know what? Like, I'm doing more than I Can handle by myself. Feel me? Like, I had to fire the management. I had to. I was just doing everything by myself, you know what I'm saying? Like, when it was coming, like the book shows, like, I remember a few times people was reaching out to me through the dm, like, yo, we've been hitting up your manager. I don't have a manager. You know what I mean? And I'm like, yeah, talk to me directly. So I got all these people calling me. I'm not knowing how to handle all this by myself. And I'm really booking every show by myself. So now I'm trying to figure out how to do it. I gotta figure out how to do, like, the W9s and all this type of thing like that.
Joe Crack
And I don't know nothing.
Fetty Wap
I'm like, no is too much for me. So it's like the only thing I know how to do other than music was hustle. So I'm like, I still gotta feed the family. I still gotta feed the kids. And it was like, instead of me moving away from the pride and just asking for help, you know, I'm like, I'm gonna just do it by myself, like I've been doing. So when it came down to it, you know, certain things happened. Certain people got caught up, my name got brought up. And this what happened.
Ebro Darden
That's always gonna happen in hip hop. People don't understand. Like, I try to tell them all the time, you in a club, look, I just told you about me getting arrested, that I didn't even finish that story with Remy with. I got arrested for no reason. They beat this guy up, they locked me up. I think, yo, Fat Joe robbed him this and this and that. Shit happened to me about 10 times. So they kept. They was coming up to me, I'm rich. And they were saying, yeah, you robbed them for the skinniest chain never created some. I'm like, yo, bro, this shit don't even make sense. You coming to my album release signing to lock me up, talking about I stuck a guy up for a $300 chain. All right? So the point is, used to a lifestyle, and you out there, you making a bunch of money, but you spending a bunch of money. And it got overwhelming to the point of where you was, like, you was used to that money. So you said, yo, let me go hustle and get that type of money right there, right? So now, the new Fetty Wap that came home, you know, you gotta adjust.
Fetty Wap
That's a fact.
Ebro Darden
So there's some times where we doing Great. Where the family? I tell the wife, yo, go get the Birkin. Go get the this, go get the that. Then there's time she gotta sip through a straw. And instead of noble, you gotta go to the diner. I've had those times in my life where I gotta adjust to say, all right, shit is slow right now. Let's start eating some diner food. Ty. Shit, get back up. These are like the adjustments you gotta make throughout your career. Because in this career shit, it's not guaranteed, but there is something guaranteed. You have four hits. Your generational artists, there's people grew up and started rapping, just singing and rapping because of you. There's people who looked up to you. I feel like you birthed the whole genre of music. I want you to know, yo, it ain't so bad. 20,000 a show or something like that. If you get four of them a month, five of them a month. I've been there before. You know, when I got caught with taxes, they took all my money, millions of dollars. And was playing with the same guys who spam me 50,000 to show. They're like, yo, how many times you think people want to hear lean back? I 12,000. Huh? Romania, 12,000. Bangladesh. Yo, we got 12. Same guy been paying me 50,000 for 18 years. They play with you like that. But I had to say, all right, until I get another one, it ring off crazy. And I get back my. And I got them all back. So when all the Way up came out. Oh, God, I wouldn't even take they show. Yo, Joe, we want to book the show. I'm like, you, sir, cannot book the show unless. Guess what, guys, I'm charging a hundred thousand. You pay 175 to 200 on purpose. No, that's not fair, Joe. That's what it is for you. You played with me. You was booking me for 12,000 in the slums of Shaolin. You know, they played with me. I got them all back, thank to God. But you have to realize that, you know, I guess you did. How many. How many years you did?
Fetty Wap

Ebro Darden
You came home probably, boy, you had that. Just came home.
Fetty Wap
I was mad little when I went in.
Ebro Darden
Yeah, yeah. I was mad little when I went in.
Guest Rapper/Artist
But you was in there.
Ebro Darden
You know, I told him outside, I said, yo, some guys go in there, they get fat. Yeah, how do you go to jail and get fat when everybody works out all day?
Fetty Wap
Some people ain't got that motivation.
Jada
Fat in the world. Is this.
Ebro Darden
Is it not true?
Fetty Wap
It's not true. No, not really.
Ebro Darden
It's not true. Because when you wake up in jail, the whole jail's working out. Like, there's no way to avoid it. Hey, basketball's here. Racist here. Like, bro, for you to sit there for four years just eating your face out, you know, like, you gotta be a lazy motherfucker.
Fetty Wap
I mean, but some people can't come out. They sell, though. You know, you got the head of the Muslim father. He won't allow you to do nothing in the jail, though. Like, you can't get no money. You can't move around. If you want to take your shahada, you want to come over here, sit in your cell, they can't go nowhere. So you know what I mean? Cause you really. You did this for protection. You ain't did this because you believe in Allah. You know what I'm saying? It be like that. It be a lot of them in there. So, like, it'll be them type of. That can't come out. They said, we're gonna protect you.
Ebro Darden
Keep reading and like that.
Fetty Wap
Yeah, you feel me? Like, they gotta do, like, the cleaning. They be cleaning, like, right down the table.
Ebro Darden
I had Hong Kong Mongolia wipe my. While I was gone. Big yo, wipe this down. I want that spotless, man.
Fetty Wap
Yeah, but they.
Ebro Darden
They.
Fetty Wap
I mean, but you know, they stand. They still stand on business, though. Like, as far as, like, the. The real right ones. Like, they still stand. They. Not just because I say that. Cause, you know, some people that's on the outside that never been to jail might have something to say about that comment.
Jada
I don't understand.
Fetty Wap
You know what I'm saying? Like, jail definitely made me realize, like, you know what I'm saying? Everything I was doing, like, everything I was doing wrong about myself, for the family, for the kids, you know what I mean? Like, I got a chance to sit back and reflect on everything I was doing. Like, I'm going in there thinking, like, damn, I just spent this money on. I remember I bought bro this. I bought bro this. I bought bro this. And I'm like, I'm like, I only did this for my daughter. I only did this for my son. Only birthdays or whenever I was with him. It was never just, I'm outside, let me just buy them, Know what I mean? Like, no ignorant shit like that. You feel me? Like that I was doing when I was younger. And now it's like. It just made me realize, like, you know what? Like this time when you come home, you know what I mean? You owe them that time back. I mean, you owe them that time back the same way you as spurging on the guys and everybody robbing Jane Doe. Like he said all that type of shit. I mean, let's. Let's take the babies, let's go. Let's go get some Chanel purses for the girls. My daughters.
Ebro Darden
Did a lot of guys disappoint you when you went and did your time and you like that? You thought they would write you a letter or something like that?
Fetty Wap
Of course they did.
Ebro Darden
I had one of my guys, one of the most realest guys in the world, he catch a murder case. All these guys he used to think he was cool with, none of them showed up to court. None of them came around. Nobody visited him. Nobody this and this and that. By miracle of God, he beat the murder case. He came out, he's hanging out with all these dudes. I'm like, yo, my man, you're lying to yourself. They already proved to you. God put you in a position so they could prove to you if they real family, if they real friends or not. What my man said. Who was that? Was that George Bush? Fooled me once, huh? Shame on me. Fool me twice, you know? In my life, I learned to not forgive those guys. It took me three times. I went rich, broke, rich, broke, rich. Till I finally saved.
Jada
That was four.
Ebro Darden
That was four. No, that was three. But it took me a long time to. You just learn from my experience. Those guys, they know good. They never gonna turn around and be good. They're never gonna be loyal. You wasted your time.
Fetty Wap
That's a fact.
Jada
Now get out. New music. How was it in there? Was you able to think of songs? Was you able to think of shit? Cause everybody I know be like, I can't think of nothing. I didn't. My mind wasn't even on music while I was in.
Fetty Wap
Yeah, I was in the hole. I was in the shoe for six and a half months. I was in the shoe for six and a half months. And that's when everything started coming to me. Like, that's when I really had that sit back time, like, all right, that's really around the time where it's crazy because my first two years in, I was so, like, how I could put this? Like, I was so much on go time with the guys. I wasn't even, like, thinking about music. Like, I'm. When five o' clock come, once you hear that door unlock, tie your boots. Like, it's none of that. Like, you don't have that luxury to just like I said, unless you go to a different section of the jail. You feel me? Like, so once you start coming down the levels, like, it was like, all right, whatever. And then like, as soon as I got to, like, a good jail, like, where I was, where I could chill with the champagne and all that like that, like, they locked me right back.
Ebro Darden
I only.
Fetty Wap
I ain't even make it there 20 days.
Ebro Darden
That's when they. That's when they sent you home?
Fetty Wap
Nah, they sent me to the shoe.
Jada
I sent them back up. Yeah.
Fetty Wap
Yeah. So I went to. I got to, like, a camp. I got there, like, I was there for 20 days.
Ebro Darden
They.
Fetty Wap
They try to say I escape the camp for me. So I beat it, though. So.
Jada
Yeah, I beat it funny.
Fetty Wap
No, but they still set me in there.
Ebro Darden
Like, all right, look, you got.
Fetty Wap
You got too much influence. You got too, like, you know, I mean, like, I hate that. Yeah. And that's how they. That's how they get us. Like, that's how especially, like, us. That's how they get us.
Ebro Darden
Like, oh, yeah, he could do this. Whatever. They hating on you and they setting examples on you. Yeah. Just because of who your name is and it ain't you as a person. They don't necessarily mean that you're like that. But they. They play that game with everybody. Like, Remy, she was in parole, right? On tv with a family, number one song in America. This. They would not let her go do a show. And these bum ass parole officers just like, nah, no, this. And she's on. Like, you see, she's trying to change her life. She's trying to be a boss. She's trying to. This. She's on a TV show. This. That they fronted on her for. Like, I think. What was it? She had like, three years of parole. I went with her when they had an ankle bracelet on her three years later. Like, you know, it was incredible, bro, but they were just abusing the power. So you came home. Is it a new style Fetty Wap, or is it the classical Fetty Wap?
Jada
You finished talking about jail? Cause I'm gonna Start asking about the album.
Ebro Darden
Okay.
Jada
You just want to know about the rapsy.
Ebro Darden
That 1800 Jadakiss, he talking about the news to eat his own bottle. 1800.
Jada
How you pronounce it? Xavier.
Fetty Wap
Xavier.
Ebro Darden
Xavier. Xavier.
Fetty Wap
No, Xavier. Like Xavier, but just take the X out and put it.
Ebro Darden
Yo, Petty Bump. What was that? How you come up with that name?
Fetty Wap
Xavier?
Ebro Darden
Yeah, Xavier.
Fetty Wap
So that's like. That's like my alter ego. So, like, when I started doing music before, like, I. I used to do this thing, like, Zubi, like, a lot of my oldest songs. Like, and it really came from, like, Gucci used to be on, like, Gucci man lafleur. So I'm like, I can't say Fetty Wap Lafleur.
Ebro Darden
Like, I was like.
Fetty Wap
I used to be like, Zoover. Like, everybody called me Zoo. I mean, so it's like, just put it together. So it's like, at one point, I was changing my name anyway, so that was my name, Zavir.
Ebro Darden
Oh, I get it.
Fetty Wap
See what I'm saying?
Jada
That's fine.
Ebro Darden
I get it. But the sound sound right.
Fetty Wap
Yeah.
Ebro Darden
I'm curious. What, are you doing some new type shit or you doing Fetty Wild?
Fetty Wap
It's a little mixture of both, you know, it's just a more mature version of me, that's all. Like, a more mature version. Like, I'm still me. Just. Just, you know, I got a few. I got a few different bops in there. You know what I'm saying?
Ebro Darden
Like, let me tell you something. I tell you in your face, man. I always been a fan of you. I've always thought you was a great person. I know you gonna come with a hit record. And if you don't, you talking to a guy been around 30 something years. You got four number ones. You get yourself a book. No, you get. All right, I'm just telling you the truth. What I'm saying is facts.
Fetty Wap
No, I respect that, though.
Ebro Darden
You know what I'm saying? You get your money. How it come? Either you gonna make a ton of money, you know, we all looking for the hit record to make a ton of money. Or we take that slow, good money, which is better than a lot. 99% of Americas.
Fetty Wap
No, I gotta. I got a good team behind me now. Like, I got a great scene behind me.
Ebro Darden
Yeah, I see you got about 76 people with you over here. You even got white people in the entourage.
Fetty Wap
Yeah, I'm doing, like, a documentary.
Ebro Darden
Oh, yeah, I'm doing a documentary. Tell me. So what's the documentary called? Where's it coming out. I don't know yet.
Jada
It's getting that footage.
Fetty Wap
So it's just like, no, I'm just taking this crowd. I'm taking my craft serious this time. I mean, like, I already. I did what I did outside of it. I mean, nobody can't take that from me. I did my time. I stood on my tent. Nobody can't take that from me. So it's like, all right, now do something for Fetty. Like, I mean, like the same way I was confident and going to. Going to grab the. I mean, and hitting the kitchen and going outside, I had that confidence level. Like this what I do. Like now, I mean, like, I know I can make this. I got that same confidence with the music, man. You feel me? So that's how I'm on.
Ebro Darden
I don't know how crazy that was. I don't think you even understand how crazy that was.
Fetty Wap
Nah, I didn't.
Ebro Darden
I'm not, yo.
Fetty Wap
Cause I don't look at myself how everybody else look at me. Feel me. That's always been my problem. Like, me as a person. Like, I remember one time we had. Kane bro had invited me to his hood for me. We came out there to Yonkers, like, and like, everybody looking at me crazy. Cause I went to the Chinese store.
Ebro Darden
Like, I've been there like four chicken wing fresh.
Fetty Wap
You feel me? But it's just like, you know, certain people got this. Got this aspect of how they view me because they hear the songs, but they don't know where I'm from.

but I'm glad you back and you got a good team. Let me tell you something. I've invested millions in artists me. So I've been in the other guys and when the artist tells me y', all I don't want to be here, I say not a problem. You sure you don't want to Be with us. Not a problem. All right, here you go. I've had several artists I spent millions of dollars on that turned around was like, yo, I don't think this working out. You sure you don't think this work? All right. Ain't working out. I'mma go do whatever. Oh, damn. I don't think none of them ever popped off when they left. But the point is, I never believed in holding people against their will or because I signed a talented person. Hey, you got to take some credit because you signed them, right? But, you know, it's crazy. I. I see it all the time. I see it with. I see men. Men handling female artists that they signed up to. Yo, I don't care. Yo, I. Son, it's like, yo, all right, you gave her. You know, you gave her a shot. She blew up. You made millions. She don't want to be here. Let's move on, work out some shit and keep it pushing. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, that's something that's been ugly in the hip hop game. Somebody feel like they signed you, man, he gonna be a guy who signed you. Never seen you again.
Fetty Wap
That's a fact.
Ebro Darden
And then you blow, and they like, yo, that's it happened. Somebody wrote a hit hook for me, right? Hit hook. I thought I was like, damn, this thing about to be rich, right? Cause I'm giving up the right publishing to him and everything. Yo, you wrote. Don't worry. This, this, this. It's about a hundred guys came up to me like, yo, you know, I own the guy. You know, I own the guy. You know, I gave him ten grand while he was drunk in the gambling spot. I own him. I. This, this, this. I'm like, yo, he got nothing.
Fetty Wap
That's crazy.
Ebro Darden
He's supposed to make millions of dollars. I swear to you. They kept coming up to me. Like, I said, yo, I worked with him.
Jada
I know.
Ebro Darden
He told me.
Jada
I happened to notice when I had
Ebro Darden
to say, I'm giving him the publishing.
Jada
I don't have to say, yo, you looking. I know, I noticed. I know. And I'm not telling you.
Ebro Darden
Hey, y. But it's the craziest shit I ever seen in my. Now I'm happy for the guy because guy works hard. He's a great guy. I'm like, all right, this guy gonna be caked up. They came out the woodworks, yo, I own them. Yo, I. Octopus hands. Octopus hands. And I'm like, you know. And so what's so important is for artists out there should not be in the position that most people be in.
Jada
What it is that you're not saying is we all. That's three up here. Whoever's back there, that's artists, you gotta learn. We don't. We didn't come in this learning. So the faster we know we getting done wrong, the faster you could get out of that situation. But it's to learn from there and then to educate those that's coming up. Because it's going to keep happening as long as you don't have the knowledge. They looking for talented.
Ebro Darden
Most important you need to do is get a lawyer.
Jada
Stupid even. Sometimes the lawyers down with the label. Then you get caught in the triple cross. So you gotta. You gotta learn as much as you can. Pray and surround yourself with some good people because they're gonna keep doing it. That's the up part. It's never gonna stop.
Fetty Wap
That's their job. Yeah.
Ebro Darden
And then that's fucked up. You know what I mean, man? I had a lawyer I really trust. I was with him for about 10, 15 years. He introduced me to the guy who lined me up for the. For the tax case. I never trusted him again. I got rid of him. I said, yo, this guy lined me up. I don't know if he got caught up in some shit and lined me up with the accountant who I never seen again in my life, who didn't pay my bills, robbed me and I went to the feds because of him, man. So I gotta agree with Kiss when he says sometimes you can't even trust your own lawyer. You know, some of these guys be connected. It's the craziest shit. Trust is a hard thing in life. It's crazy because I still trust me. I'm dumb enough to trust.
Fetty Wap
I can't do that. I don't got it in me to do that.
Ebro Darden
I caught two accountants robbing me for millions of dollars. After I caught the fed case, I caught another accountant that we treated like family stealing like $3 million from me. Like. Like this is legendary. Like this.
Jada
What's the. How many accounts get killed a year?
Ebro Darden
How about they don't even go to jail, bro? That's why you can't even sue them. You can't even is in a couple counting funerals.

Ebro Darden

Jada

Ebro Darden
That's a Kiss ass. Yeah. Kiss is crazy. But I ain't lying. It's. It's like a loophole with these accountants. How they get away with this shit. You know what I'm saying? But you Got a team, you on the go. We got some new music. Let's hear that shit.

This episode features platinum-selling artist Fetty Wap in a deeply personal, insightful conversation with Fat Joe and Jadakiss. Touching on Fetty's rebirth after incarceration, the challenges and pitfalls of the music industry, and the creative journey behind his new album ‘Zavier’, the discussion blends tough-life lessons, wisdom from hip-hop legends, and real talk about money, fame, loyalty, and second chances.

About the ‘Zavier’ Album
Fetty explains ‘Zavier’ is an alter ego—a matured evolution of his “Zoo” persona, representing personal growth and a return to form ([22:27]-[23:44]).
The sound is described as classic Fetty, but matured, mixing new styles and personal stories ([23:34]-[23:44]).
Pitfalls for Artists: Contracts & Loyalty
Dangers With Lawyers & Accountants
Fetty is still on parole for five more years ([47:43]) and faces travel restrictions but is optimistic about resuming touring as his situation normalizes.
The hosts trade stories about navigating parole/probation as public figures and encourage Fetty to stay patient and focused ([47:08]-[50:54]).
Fetty confirms he's still deeply connected to Patterson, NJ, and ready for his next chapter ([51:00]-[51:33]).
| Time | Segment/Topic | |--------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 05:40–06:22 | Fetty’s homecoming and immediate hustle | | 07:57 | Fetty on doing too much alone and downfall | | 10:27–12:42 | Life changes: adjusting financially in the industry | | 13:44–15:29 | Adapting to real jail as a celebrity; being accepted in the system | | 17:16–18:09 | Self-reflection and renewed focus on family | | 19:42–20:33 | Finding creativity in solitary confinement | | 22:27–23:44 | Meaning of ‘Zavier’ and personal transformation | | 31:44–35:32 | Industry lessons: contracts, trust, and management pitfalls | | 37:22–44:42 | Exclusive premieres of new tracks & reactions | | 47:43 | Fetty’s parole, touring challenges, staying patient | | 51:00–51:33 | Return to Patterson, NJ; rooting for Fetty’s continued rise |
The atmosphere is candid, raw, sometimes playful but always rooted in brotherly encouragement and unfiltered reality. Fetty is open about his failures and hopes; Joe and Jada are wild in their anecdotes but always steer the conversation back to wisdom, growth, and the will to survive and thrive—even after losing it all.
