If you’re even remotely familiar with Fetty Wap beyond his music, you know one of the most important things to him is his family. This past week, Fetty lost a key piece to his family in his brother, Twyshon Depew.

On October 15, police in Patterson, New Jersey responded to a shooting incident around 9 p.m. By 11, Fetty’s brother was pronounced dead at the hospital. Fetty Wap has taken to social media to pay tribute to his brother and blame himself for his passing.

“I love you Twy …Really Missin you kidd but I see you brought out the sun today ima pour sum up for you today.” Fetty Wap posted on his Instagram story before posting a picture of the two.

“I love you lil bro my twin … R.I.P 💔🕊… I failed you bro I’m sorry … I keep calling ya phone and you won’t pick tf up and that shit never ring 3 times now it’s straight to vm I love you lil bro I really thought I could get you out before I ever had to make a post like this lil

bro like wtf.”

Fetty Wap has been relatively quiet on the music front since he dropped his viral hit “Trap Queen” in 2015. Back in June of this year, Fetty quietly released a new song called “Pretty Thang.”

Wap continued to grieve in his Instagram stories, sharing with fans that his brother was the inspiration for him pushing on with his music career.

“They would’ve put us under the jail if they knew everything”, wrote Fetty. “I should’ve listened to you I was soo stuck in these streets I ain’t even wanna do music no more I was so happy being back home back in the field I lose vision to why I did it in the first place..”

In all of his interviews, Fetty has pointed out he doesn’t have much family–but the family he does have means the world to him, so this is hitting him extra heavy. Prayers are with Fetty and his entire family during this time.
