Fresh off his performance of the hit ‘Trap Queen’ on Jimmy Fallon last night, TMZ caught up with Fetty Wap outside the studios and asked him about his lost eye. Although he has already talked about it in a few interviews, he further explains the history with the help of his mother.
Fetty also did an interview with Fader where he revealed how the Drake collaboration on ‘My Way’ came out.
He sent me a DM, and I sent him my number. When I landed from Tampa a couple of days ago, and as soon as I landed and turned my phone off of airplane mode, he was FaceTiming from DC where he was playing ‘My Way’ at a club. He was like, ‘Yo, I want to cut the record tonight.’ Next thing I know, I checked my email and it was there.
The thing I respect about Drake the most is that he’s not one of them artists that take his status and just do what he want with it. He has the status to just do anybody’s track, if he really wants to. I’m just a nobody compared to Drake, and he still actually asked me, ‘Is it cool if I do a remix?’ And even the way he said it—more like, ‘Can I bless it?’ He was thanking me for putting him on the remix, and I’m trying to tell him like, ‘No, thank you. You don’t understand what you’re doing for me.’ He’s definitely a very, very, very, very humble person.
UPDATE: His single is officially platinum now, selling 1.05 million copies till date.
