"I'm happy I got to meet Jayden and his family," the rapper told People. "He is a really cool kid! It meant a lot to me personally to finally make his wish happen. It's definitely a day we'll both remember!"
Jayden's mom also spoke to the magazine about how great of an inspiration Fetty Wap has been for her son and others in this unique situation.
"This young rapper unknowingly gave Jayden something we weren't able to give him-the confidence to be different- and I am grateful to him," she told People. "Thanks to Fetty Wap for saying F the world this is me, and for helping make our baby boy just a little more remarkable than he already is."
