Fetty Wap mourning loss of younger brother fatally gunned down
Fetty Wap is mourning the loss of his younger brother that he lovingly referred to as his “twin.”
The 29-year-old rapper revealed on Instagram Friday that his sibling, identified as Twyshon Depew, was dead.
“I failed you bro I’m sorry,” Fetty captioned a photo of what is believed to be of Depew and himself. “I keep calling ya phone and you won’t pick (it) up and that s--- never ring 3 times now it’s straight to (voicemail).”
Depew, 26, was fatally gunned down in Paterson, N.J., Thursday evening, reported the South Passaic Daily Voice.
He died at a nearby hospital two hours after his arrival, noted Paterson Police Chief Ibrahim Baycora.

Although Fetty hasn’t identified Depew by name, The Sun has reported that the victim was Fetty’s younger brother.
“I know ya slogan ‘don’t cry for me slide for me.' I just don’t know what (I’m going to) tell my nephew when he (asks) me why I ain’t make sure you was OK," Fetty posted on Instagram.
Inconsolable, Fetty also lashed out at well-meaning fans offering condolences.
“Stop asking me am I OK,” wrote Fetty on Friday. "No (the f---) I’m not OK.
Fetty, who was born Willie Maxwell in Paterson, came to prominence in 2015 after the release of his debut single “Trap Queen.”
The song became an instant hit and peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Two more singles from his eponymous debut album, “679” and “My Way,” also cracked the Top 10 later that year.
