Rapper Fetty Was has been arrested on federal drug charges, according to reports.

The Trap Queen hitmaker was taken into custody by FBI agents at the Citi Field stadium in New York on Thursday, Daily Mail reports.

The musician, whose real name is William Junior Maxwell II, is expected to be arraigned in a federal New York courtroom today.

The publication claims that the indictment against the 30-year-old is currently sealed.

The arrest comes months after the rapper confirmed the death of his four-year-old daughter, Lauren Maxwell.

Fetty’s ex Turquoise Miami, real name Lisa, revealed the death of their daughter in August, following weeks of speculation.

Sharing a short clip to Instagram of her daughter in a swimming pool, Turquoise captioned the post: ‘This is my amazing, beautiful, funny, vibrant, loving, talented, smart and hardheaded princess mermaid Aquarius.

‘If you see this post scrolling by with her comment or just say to yourself “I love you LAUREN” because they say that souls can feel your love #rip.’

Fetty reportedly addressed Lauren’s death on his Instagram Stories shortly after a performance at the Rolling Loud festival, with the 30-year-old saying?: ‘LoLo daddy did that s*** for you last night baby girl.’

The musician also has at least five other children by four other mothers, with Lauren being his fifth child.

Fetty also lost his brother, Twyshon Depew, last year. Twyshon was shot and killed in New Jersey, and was later taken to St. Josephe’s University Medical Center, but later died of his injuries.

The rapper is best known for chart-topping hits such as Trap Queen, Again and My Way.
