Fetty Wap Quotations

My whole thing is loyalty. Loyalty over royalty; word is bond.

I'm just really waiting for the music to get cooked the right way, and once it's cooked, I'm going to serve that meal that everybody's been waiting for.

I never thought I was going to leave the trap. I even told my mother, 'I'm gonna be the trap God.'

You don't really gotta rap no more; you can just say the verse with a swag now.

I just consider myself an artist. I don't really rap. I don't really sing. I just do what I feel is good, and people like it.

I just want everybody to know my music and get to know my squad, Remy Boyz; just to show people New Jersey. New Jersey got talent, too. I mean, everybody sleeps on us, and they put us as the underdog.

When I go to clubs, I dont have to wait outside.

Theres a lot of females that hustle, just like men hustle.

I am my own mentor. I like to listen to myself to improve.

I never really thought I was going to be a singer, honestly. I never listened to singers; I always listened to rap music.

Don't let nobody tell you that you can't do it. Love what you do until you don't love it anymore. Nothing's impossible.

Plans never go well for me. I just live every day like I ain't gonna live the next one.

Oh man, I would definitely love to work with Kanye on something. But it really is all up to him, so whatever he wants to do, I'm with it.

There's gonna be a lot of great songs, but there ain't going to be another 'Trap Queen.'

When you really work hard for something that you genuinely and truly love, and you don't want it to fail, it's a good feeling to see it do good.

Once I come up with the concept, the rest of the song just comes.

I don't ever try to make a song better than my last song. I just try to make it different from my last one.

If only the people around you know you're an artist, then you're doing something wrong.

I got my own sound; nobody sounds like me.

People don't really call me a rapper. They call me Mr. 'Trap Queen'. The 'Trap Queen' Guy.

When I was little, I got into a little accident, and it gave me congenital glaucoma in both of my eyes.

Im not really into the whole lyrics thing; I just like to make music that people like to listen to.

I was always able to get money, but now it's a little bit more money, and I manage the same way. I just want to see my family do better.

It takes a lot of people hours to make music because they focus so much on one thing. I just do it, and I make something you can just vibe to.

The first song I did was over a Chief Keef beat - 'Understand Me.' I did that in, like, 2011 or 2012, I think.

Gucci Mane is my favorite artist.

I dont ever try to make a song better than my last song. I just try to make it different from my last one.

If only the people around you know youre an artist, then youre doing something wrong.

Can't nobody do what Fetty Wap does. So when I go to the studio, it may be four to five hours max, probably three days out the week. I used to go to the studio for 10 to 15 hours, and I would do five to 10 songs. Now I go for four to five hours and I do, like, 15 to 20 songs. I'm an ad lib guy. Most people know me for my ad libs.

I love everybody that's with me. All these dudes from Paterson - nothing happen to none of us. We won't go to jail. I make sure we don't. We don't stand on no corners. Ain't nobody carrying when they ain't supposed to be carrying. We don't pose with guns in the videos; we don't leave guns in the house. You'll never see Fetty Wap posting no videos with no guns.

I like other people's music.

I really moved fast, bro. I don't want a big selection, because I don't want myself in between nobody else's problems, basically. Like, if I know these two people going at it, I'm not about to make a song with either one of them.

I live my life until there's no more living to be done. Because you never know when it's going to stop. Wake up tomorrow and it could all be gone, bro. All the cars, all the motorcycles, everything. All the memories. We could go into a state of emergency, you know, and the world goes to war. The money won't count for nothing.

I ain't going to lie: I was happy, man. Me and my sisters and my brother was mad cool. We all did the music thing. My dad had the keys to the church, so we would go over there and jam. So I just want my kids to have fun the right way. I want their type of trouble to be, like, "Aw, Dad, I locked the keys in the car." I don't want to hear about, "Oh, my friend just got shot."

The music world taught me a lot.It taught me how much happiness it could take from you. J. Cole said it in that interview: People forget their happiness and what makes them happy. Like, what you really wanted to do it for.

I don't like all this business stuff. I like stocks.

The first song I did was over a Chief Keef beat - Understand Me. I did that in, like, 2011 or 2012, I think.

I'm surprised I'm still living. I ain't really make the best of decisions in my life, but for some reason, it missed me. It's weird - that's what I always think, like, "Maybe something's going to happen."

To see that people appreciate the work that I put in to make these songs for them, that's what makes me care. I don't care about being Fetty Wap.

I've had two jobs my whole life. I worked at FedEx for, like, two days, and I worked at Popeye's for a week. I just needed a check. It was a standard thing for people where I'm from. Well, people from there that did what I did for a living, you know what I'm saying? Go get you a quick check when you mess your money up.

As the children get older and know what they want ... We all grew up at one point.

I went to Paterson Public School No. 6. At the time, it was the worst school in the city. Ain't nobody want their kids to go to School 6; it was that bad. But it was where we lived. If you grow up in a bad area, there are bad things around it.

I went from trying to get people just to listen to my music, not necessarily knowing me, to this. I didn't want to be known, because I didn't want to be Fetty Wap. I'm just a background guy.

I got older - 16, 17 - I was like, "I want to do my own thing." I wasn't seeing eye to eye with my parents. It wasn't what they wanted for me.

As soon as they say I don't sound as good as my old stuff, I tell them, "I would never sound as good as I first sounded, because you guys didn't know who I was. Being that I'm in rotation, you guys are getting used to the sound, so now you expect another track and another track, but it never happens again, no matter how hard I try."

My mom, my father, my little sisters, and my brother - I don't got that much family. I'm not really a family person. I just do my own thing. But I've just been spending time with my mom, especially since the [September motorcycle] accident happened. I drive all the way down there to Georgia just to check up on her. You just get tired of being that person that you thought you were. I don't feel no different. I see the music, because I made it. I don't really see the fame.

Before I let myself question my loyalty to my people, I'm quitting music. I didn't do this to be by myself.

Most parents have college funds and things. I don't. I call myself the "hood daddy." I got their money in cash, stashed up. I don't have plans for my kids. I just want them to be happy.

I don't spend that much time in the studio. When I first started doing music, I was in the studio every day just trying to build my portfolio. But now, even though I haven't totally mastered my craft, I'm at a pretty high level.

I do everything the same, like nothing ever happened to me.

Fetty Wap's not one person. Fetty Wap consists of a tight family. When I go out as Fetty Wap, I represent the whole family. The family is RGF [Productions].

People make their life really hard. It was as simple as this: My parents went to church. My grandfather was a bishop. My mom sang in the choir, my dad played the keyboard, and my uncle played the drums. I was into playing the drums, so I played the drums a lot for my uncle, and it got to the point where I was pretty nice at playing the drums. And he let me play every Sunday so, to me, going to church was fun.

I don't care about being Fetty Wap. Like, this doesn't mean anything to me. My plan was to make sure that my son would be good, and I have a daughter now, so now she's included into the equation, and the work I do as Fetty Wap made me care.

The fans are probably the only thing I can really see that's real.

Once I got to the age where I was like, "I could just do it by myself," they was like, "Go do it."

I'm big into stocks. I've invested in a lot of stocks. One day I was talking to my accountant, and he was like, "Yo, what if I could turn a million dollars into $20 million?"

A lot of people got something to prove. If I had something to prove, I proved it already, so why do I have to go showboat? Like, I don't say I got the hottest song in the world. And, personally, I think otherwise.

I love making music. It's just something that I can't stop doing.

I just consider myself an artist. I dont really rap. I dont really sing. I just do what I feel is good, and people like it.

You want the people to know, but you don't really want the things behind it. I have everything I ever wanted. I never wanted a big house. I never wanted a Ferrari. I mean, as I proceeded with the music, I started liking Ferraris ...

After the years of me trying to figure out what I wanted to do with myself, I knew I had to go back and fix some things. I can't just be super-rich or whatever and not do the right thing.

Fetty Wap is just a face. It's just a name and face.

As I started getting older and started to learn about the world, my friends would tell me about video games and dirt bikes and stuff, and I'd be like, "Oh, I got none of that." I started asking questions, like, "Why we can't get this stuff?" And it was like, "Well, we work hard to make sure da da da ..."

The best thing that happened is I kept my promises. I ain't run out on nobody.

If I wanted you to get a job, I would ask you to get a job. I'm also not stupid. I'm not going to overwork myself. If I have to chase the money, then I can't do this no more. That's not what I signed up for. I didn't sign up to tire myself out.

You start to stress yourself out about the people around you. You start to think, like, "What do you really want from me?" And then you forget that you, at some point, asked them for something. At some point you needed them to take you in because you ain't had nowhere to go. And now you turn around and question their loyalty to you, and those were the only people loyal to you. The only people that really loved you are still there, and you tanked on them. I'll never let that happen.

I always tell my mom I don't have regular problems. I have problems, like, what type of girl is going to say they're pregnant by me today? Those are the types of issues I have.

I don't beef with people, because I don't be around people. Nobody can't say nothing about me, because ain't nobody know nothing about me.

Plans never go well for me. I just live every day like I aint gonna live the next one.

I've always been my own person. I don't do what people want me to do. Like, if you want me to do that, I'm going to do the complete opposite.
