Fetty Wap's team announced on socials that the rapper will return with a new single on Friday (May 9).
The rapper's team shared the news on his socials on Wednesday (May 7). In the post, they noted that they'd also be starting a petition to get Fetty out from behind bars, where he's been since pleading guilty to federal drug charges back in 2023.
More from Billboard
'His freedom was taken, but not his voice,' the post read, announcing that a new track titled 'Forever (71943509)' would be coming on Friday. 'A raw, emotional track straight from Fetty Wap's heart. This isn't just music — it's his truth, his story, and his fight. The petition to help Fetty fight for a pardon and his freedom is live now … Let's bring our brother home.'
'Forever' will mark the rapper's first release since going to prison. He was previously arrested in October 2021, after prosecutors unveiled an indictment against him and five others. Prosecutors said Fetty had helped ship more than 100 kilograms of drugs from California to Long Island, contributing to 'the addiction and overdose epidemic we have seen time and time again tear people's lives apart.' The rapper pled guilty to a single charge of conspiring to distribute at least 500 grams of cocaine, and was sentenced to six years in prison.
The news comes just a few months after the rapper's 2015 song 'Again' topped the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart back in February. The song became part of a trend where fans played the track through a JBL speaker from 10 years ago, giving the song new life on streaming services.

This TikToker is trying to hit every McDonald's in the U.S. and rate them all
How many McDonald's locations do you think you've been to across the U.S.? Ten, maybe twenty? One TikTok creator is aiming to hit all 13,589 of them. Posting under the handle @donnyboys10, the creator kicked off the challenge last July and has since visited 275 locations across the country, including stops in Chicago, California, Oregon, and Arizona. Each McDonald's gets its own rating out of 10, complete with a short review and a tour of the facilities. And not every location is up to par. The Hollywood Boulevard location in Los Angeles came in at just 3 out of 10. The TikToker wrote: 'This very famous iconic location was absolute shambles.' The main complaints were the bathrooms, as well as the food being overpriced. 'I almost didn't even want to pay for it.' The Encinitas location however, scored a solid 9. 'Everything was available. Everything was clean,' he wrote. Even the bathrooms were 'super luxurious.' Throughout the challenge, @donnyboys10 has built an impressive following of over 128,000, with several videos racking up millions of views. In the comments, fans request to be tagged when he eventually reviews their local McDonald's. 'Im a day one, respect for you man',' one user commented. 'Bro is slowly getting closer to my McDonald's,' another wrote. According to the Daily Dot, @donnyboys10 averages 60 to 90 McDonald's visits a month. At that pace, it would take him about 15 years to visit every single McDonald's in the U.S. (assuming no new locations open in that time). When Fast Company spoke to @donnyboys10 over email, he was more optimistic. He estimated the challenge would take about 9 years to complete. For now, he's juggling his nationwide McDonald's tour with a part-time job and pursuing his bachelor's degree, which slows him down. 'At the start there was one other person involved and we did it together,' he tells Fast Company. 'As the challenge got harder and we needed to visit locations farther from where we were from, he stepped back and left the challenge to only me.' But that hasn't stopped him. 'I wanted to start this not only so I could go to McDonald's,' he explained. 'I try to pick places that I genuinely want to travel to. Besides going to every McDonald's in the US, it has always been my dream to go to every city in the United States.' Fans can donate to help cover the costs—or buy him a Happy Meal—via a GoFundMe linked in his bio. His favorite location so far? The famous blue McDonald's in Sedona, Arizona, where the traditional golden arches are painted to match the skyline and preserve the area's natural beauty. The worst? 'Between third and Pine in Seattle or most McDonald's in downtown Portland.'

10 Best Fake Songs From Fake Movie Bands
This summer has seen some pretty catchy needle drops in movies, from Superman's Mighty Crabjoys to KPop Demon Hunters flash mob fandoms for Huntr/x and the Saja Boys. The latter Netflix release has reached not only Billboard music charts but also become the most streamed animated feature ever. With that in mind, we look back at our favorite fake bands' best songs of the past 30 years. While half the list includes incredible recent music from hit movies, the other half (and our number one slot) nod at the songs that really propelled this particular niche in movies—think A Goofy Movie. So, if you notice some of your favorites missing, simmer down because we excluded musicals and kept to genre movies that had original songs featured in them. Like Superman, we can't help but think this song is for the cool kids. No matter how hard we tried, we could not get 'Try Everything' out of our heads, and Gazelle (voiced by Shakira) might be back in Zootopia 2. Finally, the full single from Freaky Friday has been released for Freakier Friday sung by Pink Slip's in-universe lead singer Christina Vidal Mitchell. Josie and the Pussycats was such an underrated gem when it came out but was formative for millennials. We know there are so many songs, and it was hard to narrow it to one, so we went with 'Three Small Words' (featuring Kay Hanley as the voice of lead singer Josie), which encompasses the moment in time this movie embodies for a generation. Sammie (Miles Caton) in the Sinners universe went on to become a blues legend, but the night that changed his life was when he first performed 'I Lied to You.' The scene is hands down one of Ryan Coogler's masterpieces, and the music sizzles off the celluloid fever dream… just watch. It took a few years, but the Envy Adams (Brie Larson) on-screen performance of the Clash at Demonhead's 'Black Sheep' was finally released on Spotify and other platforms to enjoy. We love Metric's version, but the angst in the movie version is top tier. The Billie Eilish and Finneas-produced songs from Pixar's Turning Red are all so good. This one was also hard to narrow down, but the chorus of 'Nobody Like U' is never not on my mind. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack also has too many killer songs from each band to pick from. While I particularly love 'Soda Pop,' we have to give the Saja Boys props for 'Your Idol' for charting on Billboard. In 'Golden,' we get lyricist Ejae's heart and soul shining through. The powerful anthem is coming for 'Let It Go''s crown in replayability among young animation fans. Powerline is the blueprint, the O.G. of modern fake music pop stars thanks to A Goofy Movie. Vocalist Tevin Campbell made an icon so scene-stealing we're still waiting for a full Powerline album 30 years later… or at least a sequel with more fake music to dance to. Want more io9 news?

This Woman's Mexico Facelift Has Results So Shocking, It Has Left Over 125 Million People Completely Flabbergasted
A few weeks ago, a woman named Michelle Wood began documenting her facelift journey in Guadalajara, Mexico. Her series of videos have been going viral on TikTok, with her first one accumulating well over 21 million views. She begins, "I am down here to look more refreshed and feel more refreshed. I am 50 years old, almost 51. I decided to get a full facelift, forehead lift, upper bleph, lower bleph, and lip lift, as well as a mini chin implant to help my profile. The forehead lift is really to address my uneven brows..." You can read the specifics about each procedure Michelle had done below: 📍Facelift 📍Forehead Lift (also called a brow lift) 📍Upper Blepharoplasty 📍Lower Blepharoplasty 📍Lip Lift 📍Mini Chin Implant Michelle goes on to talk about how her surgeon is Dr. Maribel Belmontes Castillo. "The people of Guadalajara are so friendly. And I hope to bring you along with my journey and let you see the good, the bad, the ugly. I chose this surgeon based on reviews. She's very, very conservative in her approach. I did not want to look 20. I just want to look like I slept for 30 years. So I've lost 130 pounds twice in my life, and I think it's just done a number on my skin, particularly my neck. I'm a single mom to two kids that are 17 and a half, and I am choosing to do this for me, and everybody is fully supportive," she concludes, and shows some photos of the hospital. @michellewood165 / She shared this photo of herself a day after her procedures: Right away, people said they could see immediate results: Related: And on day three she admited that she felt like a Bratz Doll, although she did say she "turned a corner" and was feeling better. Again, people were quick to express just how much younger they thought Michelle looked: Here is Michelle on day five. "I think the hardest part that no one tells you about is that it is hard to just sit still and do nothing. Like, it really is. I think as adults we are on the go so much in our lives, but to just sit still and not move for 10 days is tough — really tough," she expressed. At this point people were claiming it was the best facial work they'd ever seen done: Here are some closeups of the incisions that were made: @michellewood165 / Related: And these are Michelle's results 10 days post op: Clearly, everyone was thinking the same thing at this point: On day 15, Michelle was still in Guadalajara and still a bit swollen and tired, but overall, she said she was doing very well. Related: After a few weeks, Michelle returned to the US and, as the days went on, each video she posted continued to rack up hundreds of thousands of views with people genuinely in awe of the results. Most of the swelling was down by day 24, when Michelle broke down the cost. It converts to about $14,000 for all six procedures and an additional $1,000 for the recovery home that included food, transportation to and from appointments, and 24/7 nursing care. Michelle didn't specify how long she was in the recovery home, but judging from the dates on her videos, she appeared to be there for two to three weeks. To compare these prices to those in the US, Michelle saved TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. Here is an example of a pricing structure breakdown in America: The following price estimates are JUST the surgeon's fees without necessary add-ons (like anesthesia and facility fees) you would also have to pay: 📍The price range for a full facelift obviously varies by region, but it is typically priced between $7,000–$20,000, with Beverly Hills or "celebrity‑level" cases reaching a whopping $500K+!!! 📍The national average for a forehead lift is around $3,900–$7,600, and can be up to $9,000+ in Los Angeles. 📍The national average for upper bleph eyelid surgery is about $4,950, with upper lid procedures typically ranging between $3,500–$4,500. In LA, people report the cost being $12,000 with local and general anesthesia! 📍Lower bleph is generally around $4,000. 📍Lip lift can vary significantly, from $1,500 up to over $8,000. 📍A mini chin implant can range from $2,200 to 17,000. Michelle also shared that she felt comfortable getting the surgeries done out of the country because she had a good experience getting skin removal surgery in Mexico before. She also said she found Dr. Maribel Belmontes Castillo through her own research, and vetting reviews from others. Michelle is currently a couple of months post op, so here are some before and after photos to give you an idea of what she is looking like now: BEFORE: Related: AFTER: @michellewood165 / BEFORE: AFTER: @michellewood165 / You can follow Michelle's journey on TikTok to see more progress!
