Fetty Wap returns to our pages with a quick music video for his newest track, “A Couple Bandz.” The video was released to build some hype for Fetty’s Vibe magazine digital cover, which can be viewed below — along with some behind-the-scenes footage.
Check a few choice quotes and some behind-the-scenes footage at the bottom.
There’s a lot of R&B influence in your music. But was it rap music specifically that caught your attention? Or were there other genres that you were into?
It was rap, definitely. I didn’t listen to music that much when I was young. It wasn’t until I found out about Gucci Mane. That was really when I got into music. My first iPod just had Guwop’s Chicken Talk mixtape on it at first. I remember when I got it, the first song I heard was “Chicken Talk” with DJ Burn One. Ever since then I was hooked.
Your publicist said to me, “Any day that Fetty’s not working or doing shows, he is with his kids.”
I don’t really be having no days off. That’s why the mothers of my kids don’t really complain. It’s not like I’m not around for no reason. They know I’m doing what I can, and that I’m out working to provide for them. I don’t like leaving my kids, so I don’t like just going to see them for no hour or two, and then I got to be in the studio for seven hours. When I first started I was with my kids for seven hours and at the studio for one or two because I only had money for that little studio time.
It’s a gift and a curse. You’re trying to be successful in hip-hop to have money so you can provide for your kids, but the job requires you to be on the road.
I used to see them every day. Now, my biggest fear is that my daughter is going to be crying because she doesn’t know who I am. Or she’s going to be crying because she’s happy to see me. She’s still young so she doesn’t really know what’s up right now. As a man though, that shit kind of hurts me. That’s my baby girl, my only daughter. What man don’t want their daughter to know who they is?
