Fetty Wap Opens Up About Receiving The Phone Call Informing Him His Daughter Died

Fetty Wap recently sat down with Fat Joe for an episode of The Fat Joe Show and opened up about losing his 4-year-old daughter, Lauren Maxwell. 

Maxwell passed away on June 24 from a heart defect she had had since birth. Not many details have been made public since her passing.

“I lost my daughter June 24. I got that phone call at 12:36 pm. I’ll never forget this day in my life. I was sitting down in Miami at this Cuban spot I go to; I ordered me a skirt steak, some rice and beans, and a lemonade,” he tells Joe. “At 12:36, I see my baby mother’s number pop up on my phone. At the time, we weren’t really getting along, so I’m thinking to myself, ‘Oh, I’m about to see my baby. I’m about to see my daughter.'”

He continued, “And when I answered the phone, she looked at me, and when she looked at me, I’m like ‘What’s up?’ She dropped her head, and I hung the phone up like, ‘Nah, what’s up?’ Then she called me back, and I saw the tears coming down, and she said, ‘Get over here right now, come over here now.’ Then she showed me the police officer, and the police officer was like, ‘I’m sorry.'”

Fetty Wap revealed that he received the news shortly after his 30th birthday and that it was the worst thing that could ever happen to him. 

“Nothing in my life could ever be that bad. That’s the worst thing that could ever possibly happen to me in my life,” he said. “I say that to say my head always high. I was in a real dark place after that. It was two weeks after my 30th birthday. I turned 30 June 7th, and my daughter passed June 24. 

The “Trap Queen” rapper said that despite sometimes slipping into darkness following the tragedy, he keeps the outlook that everything will be ok.

“I’m like, ‘Why?’ You try to justify it was somebody else that did this. It’s no reason,” he explained. “Still, to this day, I slip into a dark place, but I catch myself because I know she’s smiling with me; I know she’s watching down on me. I know she’s looking at me like, ‘Daddy, it’s all gonna be ok, It’s all going to be good.'”
