It's not even Thanksgiving yet, but Fetty Wap was already playing Santa when he gave out cash gifts on a recent trip to a New Jersey Garden State Plaza Mall. The "Trap Queen" rapper reportedly gave out an estimated $2,000 in singles and $700 in $20s. His actions attracted hordes of fans and many posted footage to Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat to compliment the MC for a deed well done.
But Internet critics were also quick to jump on the rapper for this display of wealth and one account even suggested that he would lose his wealth soon. Fetty Wap was quick to defend himself, though.
"I invested very well and make money while I'm sleeping, and honestly I don't see what's the problem, it was only 2k in singles and 700 in 20s," he wrote in the post comments. "You never know who needed that bread and plus I got to see my daughter, I was in a good mood."

Wap has had an extraordinarily successful 2015, with the release of his debut album Fetty Wap and a string of top 10 hits, including the popular tune "Trap Queen." The MC recently announced an upcoming EP on his Twitter account. The details were scarce but he did promise new material "real soon."
In addition to a potential EP, Wap will be taking part in the Z100 Jingle Ball on Dec. 11 in New York City's Madison Square Garden with The Weeknd, Selena Gomez and 5 Seconds of Summer.
During the interim between his Fetty Wap LP and the reported new EP that's in the works, Wap also released a joint mixtape entitled Coke Zoo with French Montana this past October. He also unleashed "In My Ways," his ode to the high life that was produced by Peoples and Shy. The song was available to fans on his official Soundcloud account.
