This is far from the first time that Fetty Wap has been in legal trouble. Most recently, in 2019, he was arrested in Las Vegas over an alleged assault involving hotel workers. He was charged at the time with three counts of battery. The incident reportedly stems from an argument he got into with a parking attendant. Police initially said at the time that he struck an employee at the hotel. However, it was later said that he committed battery on three.
