Rapper Fetty Wap Hosts Supermarket Charity Event in New Jersey

by Associated Press

   PATERSON, NEW JERSEY --

   Rapper Fetty Wap handed out gift cards to families at a New Jersey
   supermarket just in time for Easter.

   The Record reports the Paterson native visited his hometown Tuesday for
   a giveaway at ShopRite in Center City Mall. Marie Sweeney-Tevis,
   ShopRite's director of public relations, says the organization was
   excited for the opportunity.

   Fetty Wap, whose real name is Willie Maxwell II, says he's fortunate to
   be able to help people now considering his upbringing. The rapper posed
   for pictures with eager fans and joked that he might land a couple of
   Easter dinner invitations.

   Fetty Wap is no stranger to giving back. He's donated turkeys for
   Thanksgiving each year in Paterson since 2015.

   The rap star says he'll always support his hometown.
