Wap spoke about the importance of looking out for family in a 2016 conversation with Trevor Noah for Interview magazine.
"I mean, after the years of me trying to figure out what I wanted to do with myself, I knew I had to go back and fix some things. I can’t just be super-rich or whatever and not do the right thing," he said.
When asked if that meant taking care of family members, Wap responded, "Yeah. My mom, my father, my little sisters, and my brother — I don’t got that much family."
"I’m not really a family person. I just do my own thing. But I’ve just been spending time with my mom, especially since the [September motorcycle] accident happened," he said. "I drive all the way down there to Georgia just to check up on her. You just get tired of being that person that you thought you were. I don’t feel no different. I see the music, because I made it. I don’t really see the fame."
In the interview, Wap explained that fame "doesn’t mean anything to me."
"My plan was to make sure that my son would be good, and I have a daughter now, so now she’s included into the equation, and the work I do as Fetty Wap made me care," he said. "I don’t care about being Fetty Wap."
