At least he can admit he know when he fell off most rappers don't 💯💯

It takes humility to acknowledge that those 40-50 dudes that were running with you were “yes men” and didn’t really care about you but just wanted to get paid & seen with you. This man killed his ego and took a step back. Not very many dudes could do that in his situation. Major respect.

This is EXTREMELY Interesting. Hope to see fetty come back soon, dudes genuine and actually pretty talented

Fetty humble as hell. Real dude.

He will defo bounce back.. All he needs is that one to trigger everything again 🙏

Imagine making 30k a day and thinking… “damn this when shit start getting dark” 😂😅😩😐

I was listening to fetty the other day, and unlike many other artist that fell off he had his own unique sound like he can definitely pop again.

fetty wap era 2014-2017 was an awesome time. Dude is a legend. Hopefully he can lock in and do some features and get some hits. he deserves a come back.

He’s always been a real one. He gave back so much to the kids and families.

It’s so mind blowing actually seeing how bad people are with money 😳. Like the renting multiple apartments had me blown why not just own multiple properties around the U.S.?? respect to fetty for sharing tho

4 apartments in new jersey 😂😂 bro is a bag fumbler

$1400 jeans are for people worth $50 million+ and even then you can’t be on some MC Hammer like Posse either. Just like $1500 iPhones, 90% of us in America really can’t afford them, just bc they let you leave the store/dealership with the item doesn’t mean you can truly “afford” it.

I gained a ton of respect for fetty after this interview, he a real one

Fetty can 100% be hot again , there’s a whole generation that loves him and he’s capable

Making 100k a day then somehow 2 years later doing drug running and you get indicted. This mans whole existence in life was to serve as an example of what not to do.

i miss fetty, and quite literally that time period of not to say one hit wonders but a lot of people in that time just had crazy bangers and it was such a different time i really miss it back when i had no worries in life now im almost 22 and get bored of everything so quickly and its strange the way life goes sometimes, i do really appreciate fetty for admitting it, its not that he's bad, its just more people have the resources to make music because a lot of people have home studios or know a local producer and can make decent music and its hard to stay relevant but i hope he plays it smart

I love his honesty he seems to completely be genuine about his fuck ups no ego involved or making excuses, I wish this man the best.

Mad respect for keeping it real and not caring what others think, sure fetty will bounce back. That’s why these artist need financial literacy

Bro had 22 million at once nd went broke had to start back trapping nd now he in jail….ik at night he looks up at the ceiling like “😐 wtf….i was up af how did I end up here”.

Love him. Knowing where it went left is the first step. Standing back up and setting boundaries is what he will do now❤🙌

It’s crazy to think when he was in his “prime” 2014-2015-2016 those were some of the best times of my life listening to his music while playing Xbox or just hearing it on the radio I can’t bring or relive those moments ever again. The memories of me listening to his music alone is priceless. And I respect him even more right now.

I wanna see guys like Fetty win. It's a good thing if he knows how he made mistakes with money so he can correct them. Financial literacy is something that could help so many people level up. 💯

People like him deserves a do over. Much respect to fetty! This is so very honest. 😊

Just for telling the truth and being genuine he deserves one more hit song to pop him up atleast one more time for his empowering honesty 💯

This is definitely one of the best interviews this year. It’s just too real

Story as old as time. Keep your team small, keep a team that you've been with, and you MIGHT be alright. It's crazy how people are. So many 'real' people/friends until it really comes down to it. So much respect to Fetty for being honest and humble.

This man actually know when he fell off he’s the only 1 who knows when he fell off that makes me smile

I hope kids hear his honesty. We KEEP hearing these stories over the years.

Appreciate him telling this story, many rappers need to be honest and learn from their mistakes.

He's so humble and understands his situation. Most people like yk Osiris, nahmir, purp, pump etc would deny every thing. He deserves to get back to the top

So true about him recognizing falling off. That maturity is rarely seen in someone that influential.

Imagine being a grown ass man looking at someone sideways because they bought a pair of jeans and expecting the same for yourself. That’s gotta be embarrassing

I appreciate his honesty and his perspective on what really happens to these artists who ain’t careful. Many rappers who fall off are in denial about their situation. This setback will turn into a major comeback for him.

people dont realize how much guts it takes to admit this stuff. Stay up king. There should be a financial education for stars because alot of them never seen this kinda money before

It’s refreshing to see this type of transparency with a rapper. A lot don’t take any accountability these days or are just straight faking the lifestyle

brings a new meaning to " i got bills to pay"

Salute to Fetty for being honest about his financial situation....most dudes aren't brave enough to keep it a 💯 with the fans...respect 🙏🏾👍🏾

I'm a financial advisor: he does what most Americans do, just with a LOT more commas. When you're making 3M+ a year, buying some of that doesn't seem crazy. I see average Joe's making $40,000 buying $60,000 trucks. Glad he has the perspective to look back and learn.

Used to be one of my favorite artists still have most of his songs on my playlist, I hope he comes back with something fire🔥

Damn he’s got respect admitting this and realizing he had to change. But I never understood why or how people are so bad with money. “What you would do I’d you made 100k or more in a day.” Personally I thought about this when I was like 12 bc I saw adults being stupid, the kids around me being stupid, and I didn’t get it. I’d invest in a few things, make some consistent cash even if it’s not a lot, and I’d put atleast 10-20k into a savings and the rest for a down payment on a house or buy a car. Everything else will work itself out.

His lifestyle was wild & he had no knowledge of financial literacy. Atleast he learned from it. This go around Fetty definitely will be alot better seeing how he realize all the mistakes he was making & didn’t make any excuses. I never was rich but I kinda had the same problem the first time I got successful. These days ima minimalist & save 50% of every check I touch. You live & you learn.

It’s refreshing to watch a real person talk about real shit without being vague. This is what real growth looks like. I respect this Fetty for this.

akademiks is such a good listener. this guy genuinely interested in listening to others and trying to listen to their message

He really, really, seems down to Earth, and like a good guy. Being this open is a huge rep boost.

Brave dude to expose his financial short comings to the world knowing he'll be judged harshly. Props homie.

This is the reason I’ve always liked Fetty he was always genuine and minded his business.

Great clip. Also major respect to Ak for asking a question, and promptly letting the guest continue with their story. A lot of other interviewers don’t let their guest complete a story without major interruptions

4 apartments in New Jersey is nuts lol 😂

First time I’ve heard Fetty actually talk…he sounds like a very smart and humble guy. Very well spoken too. Wouldn’t mind if he was a regular on the show or something.

I respect him for being open & honest about his financial mistakes. It’s hard to admit your wrongs! But good for him for learning how to fix his problems. He was serious about Doing BETTER & that’s more than I can say for other people 👌🏻 I wish him success & May he reach the Top! ❤️

The butterfly effect was 2021 and half that album goes hard. NO FEATURES. He made a career on his own really than but his boy on. Reppin NJ💪🏼

Fetty could make comeback when he touch back down... The ability to make melodies is timeless

“I’m spending 45K on jeans .. I ain’t even get my shirt yet “🤣🤣shit funny but man this some real shit

Gotta respect his transparency & honesty throughout this whole interview.. This was a dope interview

you gonna be back like u was never gonna Fetty. u a hitmaker!!!! keep it steady n keep going. this is js a learning lesson for u. ♥️🙏🏾💯

I respect his transparency

It blows my mind that there's people in this country making 50k a year and budgeting that shit to afford a home, food, and bills. These entertainers are blowing that per day....

I like his honesty, and that’s what’s gonna get him back up

This dude made “save that money” but was throwing it away like nobody’s business 🤣

This industry really is harsh. After you have your time at the top you don’t know who the hell is real or not until you fall off. Seems like he really learned a lot from it and can come back way stronger.

At least he telling a story that needs to be told... I respect this actually...

You know what, I respect the hell out of Fetty Wap for this. To be able to admit that you were draining your money on excess stuff like multiple apartments and funding his crew’s lifestyle, is pretty admirable with the intention of telling people not to make the same mistakes he did. I also like the growth he showed. I wish him more success 🙏🏾

I hope the bag Fetty made during his hype still let’s him take care of his people and that he can live comfortably. He’s as real as it gets as a person

his music is great hope to hear more soon!!🎉

I respect that he acknowledge himself falling off. A lot of artist pride be to high for them to admit that

That nigga was living like he was on GTA with all them apartments. 😂😂😂

It’s so nice when we admit and take true accountability for our mistakes

man fetty is humble af. takes a real man (especially rappers) to admit he messed up financially and to admit he was falling off

He has his shine. Tbh, the term “fall off” just shows what the media does to entertainers etc. They’ll try so hard to stay relevant & not “fall off” that their mental health will dwindle from not doing what really makes them happy.

Talking like a man learning from his mistakes. The bounce back will be solid 💪🏾

This was fire

He made so many bangers all he gotta do is wait for another summer and drop more

Any man who can admit his wrong can always recover from the loss

Fetty, was that dude. I was playing his hits. Had my morning great at 4am heading to work.. truly humble 🙏

Respect his transparency. A fool and his money will surely part ways

Fetty should definitely make a comeback!!

Respect to fetty a rap legend carried a whole year he’s going to make a comeback trust the process

That's cool that he can understand where he made his mistakes and still have the the time to turn things around. Smart guy.

I come back to this video often. To laugh at this foo 😭😭😂😂😂 it’s all love tho

He’s so humble to say this ❤

SUPPORT YOUR FRIENDS LIKE Y'ALL DO TO RAPPERS YOUVE NEVER MET BEFORE

It’s always nice to see ppl admit & hold themselves accountable for things that happen to them in life. Fetty you can still make hits, you’re very talented!! Don’t let life knock you down🙏🏽

The fetty wap run was so fire . Timeless music

Smart guy that just made a lot of bad decisions, it’s a learning process hope he learned and bounces back.

He is Definitely A Stand Up Guy..He Realizes where he went wrong He didn't blame anyone and He know what he must do to fix it...That's What Real Men Do👍👍👍👍

This guy just radiates greatness. It's refreshing to come across a honest, humble rapper. This guy couldn't be anymore grounded. If he wants it enough, he will make a comeback no doubt.

Out of all rappers to fall off he's the one I want to come back the most

I need more of this.

I understand him completely.. I always was the friend that made sure everyone was good. && at the end of the day you're gonna end up alone and broke. You gotta step back and move different 🙏🏾

The honesty needed in Hip hop today. People only hear one side far too often.

Great episode!

Bro I had fetty wap the album on repeat back in 2015-2016 man the days

A man that has 22 million can never say he fell off. He was smarter than you think.

He will bounce back. That’s the genuine personality that made the world fall in love with him in the first place. The ability to be this open will be appreciated by the people new to the game. Long live, Fetty. 💥

last time fetty was relevant I was 26 years old. Now I'm 33.... . . . . . dang, where does time go. smh. come my way was my jam all 2015, along with dram's cha cha, what a great year.

Ballin out of control #AllAboard2 🛫🛫🛫🛫 I’ve been there and we Gone go 🆙

Fetty has always been real no matter what, even with his eye when he was questioned about it years ago.

I know he may have felt guilty if he only purchased himself the expensive clothes but at the end of the day he's the main attraction. It's really only vital for him to have the expensive clothing because his image & performance is what's earning the money. The others in group should have just been thankful to be in the circle & should have figured out their own way to purchase thousand dollar jeans.

Salute my dude for keeping dat shit a stacc 💯

This an amazing interview
