Now he's a cautionary tale.

Fetty Wap explained why he fell off in the Instagram comments, of all places.

"Bad business managers… greed and selfishness… but it’s almost over. I got rid of all that goofy shit around me. Now I can focus on the music .. and I’m goin tf up just watch," Fetty typed in response to an inquiry about what happened to his career.

It's not that Fetty hasn't been making music.  He just dropped the 14 track project You Know The Vibes last week.  

Perhaps his large family has been distracting the New Jersey "melodic rapper".  He has six children, five born between 2015 and 2018.
