Fetty WapĀ was allegedly involved in a disagreement which led to shots being fired in his hometown of Paterson, New Jersey early Sunday morning.Ā According toĀ Paterson deputy police chief Troy Oswald, the shooting took placeĀ shortly afterĀ 5 a.m. at a deli located onĀ Montclair Avenue, leavingĀ three people being wounded.

While Oswald would only confirm thatĀ Willie Maxwell, a.k.a.Ā FettyĀ Wap, and several of his friends were "involved" in the altercation, he made it clear that they are "not suspects in the shooting or a robbery that happened during the incident." Two of three wounded individuals were rushed to nearby St.Ā Josephā€™s Regional Medical Center while the other was taken toĀ Hackensack University Medical Center. All of them are notĀ facing life-threatening injuries.Ā 

As of right now, it is uncertainĀ if theĀ victims had any connectionĀ to Fetty Wap. Authorities have not been forthcoming regarding what exactly led toĀ the shooting. Either way, it appears that Fetty isn't all too concerned about the incident since he continues to deliver his inspirational and thought-provoking messages on Twitter. Ā

Could any of these messages be related to what happened to him earlier in the day? Are we reading too much into things? We'll let you decide.
