To celebrate his release from jail, Fetty Was dropped a brand new single, “First Day Out,” along with an official music video.
About a month prior, the rapper was arrested before being able to perform at Rolling Loud in New York. Fetty was alleged to have a connection with a nationwide drug trafficking ring based in Long Island. He was released on a $500,000 bond earlier this month after pleading not guilty to the charges.
In a recent interview, Fetty explained why—unrelated to the arrest—his music career hit a slump.
“What happened, it was just like, in the process…” Fetty began, “I’m tryin’ to figure out why this goin’ on, why this goin’ on, and then you know, the finance part, like yo, what’s up with this, what’s up with that. I felt like I had to do everything myself. For the tours, I put up all the bread for the tours. I paid for all the tour buses. Everything came out of my expenses. It was like, I gotta pay y’all but I’m paying for everything else.”
