32 Musicians Whose Careers Took A Nosedive Overnight

4. While he may still be able to make a comeback, Fetty Wap’s career is on hold after his 2022 drug trafficking conviction. Fetty skyrocketed to fame quickly with his first album, but his career languished afterward.

He dropped an album late last year from prison, but it doesn’t appear to have charted. He won’t be eligible for release until 2029.
