UPDATE, 3:45 p.m. ET — So much for just assaulting one valet… as it turns out, Fetty Wap allegedly punched THREE people during what now appears to be a major altercation with the valet at the Mirage!
We initially reported it was three counts of assault for punches against one person, but as it turns out from updated info via law enforcement sources and TMZ, the rapper appears to have allegedly fought with three different employees before he was eventually subdued, and later arrested.
Yikes… not a great moment!!

Fetty Wap isn’t having a great Labor day Weekend!
The New Jersey-born rapper was reportedly arrested at the Mirage Hotel and Casino on the Strip in Las Vegas on Sunday, after he apparently got into a dispute with some of the valet staffers there and “uncorked at least three punches” in a melee! Whoa!!!

According to TMZ, law enforcement sources in Sin City allege the rapper took things physical and threw at least three punches at a valet after getting in some dispute over a car at the casino. It’s not clear what the argument was actually about in the first place, but now, the rapper is going to have to face some serious charges after taking things too far.
Per the sources, the Jersey rapper was actually held down by another Mirage staffer who made a citizen’s arrest after the altercation (!), waiting for Las Vegas cops to show up and officially take him into custody. Eventually, Fetty was booked on three counts of misdemeanor battery — yes, one count each for every punch he’s accused of landing. Hey, at least he was accurate, right?!
As you might expect, he was bailed out of jail pretty quickly, and only ended up being in custody for a couple hours before his release. Still, he’s got an inevitable meeting with a Nevada judge before too long, at which point he’ll have to answer for this alleged behavior. Less than ideal!!!
Media reps have reached out to Fetty’s camp for comment, but nobody has anything to say about it yet. Just another event that goes to show y’all… what happens in Vegas most definitely does NOT stay in Vegas! You’ve gotta deal with some s**t for a long time after you leave! Just saying!!!

Ironically, Fetty is coming off a recent high after having been a part of the impressive MTV VMAs in his home state of New Jersey not even a full week ago. The rapper showed out in an impressive closing number at the show that included Queen Latifah and Naughty by Nature, as well. Gotta say, doing that is much better publicity than (allegedly) doing this, but hey… we all have our bad days, right?! And who among us hasn’t been frustrated a time or two at the valet??
But still… violence is never the answer, y’all!!!
