Table of Contents
A whirlwind romance and secret ceremony ended in accusations of abuse and a swift divorce for rapper Fetty Wap and his former wife, Leandra K. Gonzalez. The pair, who tied the knot in August 2019, finalized their divorce just over a year later amid claims of domestic violence and infidelity.
Early Fame and Personal Life
Fetty Wap, born Willie Junior Maxwell III, rose to prominence in 2015 with the chart-topping hit “Trap Queen.” His self-titled debut album spawned additional successes with “679” and “My Way,” establishing him as a prominent figure in the music industry. Despite his public success, the rapper has faced legal challenges, including a six-year prison sentence in May 2023 for drug trafficking charges, from which he was released early to home confinement in January 2026. Throughout his career, Fetty Wap has largely maintained a private personal life, though he is known to be the father of six children with five different women.
A Secret Wedding in 2019
While Fetty Wap’s musical endeavors and legal battles have often made headlines, his marriage to Leandra Gonzalez was initially kept under wraps. According to iHeartRadio, the couple secretly exchanged vows in August 2019. Leandra announced the marriage through since-deleted Instagram posts, changing her bio to “Mrs. Maxwell” and sharing photos and messages confirming her new marital status, referring to the “Trap Queen” rapper as her “husband” and celebrating with photos of roses he gifted her, captioned “wife life.”
A Lavish Engagement Ring
Shortly after the reported marriage, jeweler Eliantte & Co. showcased the stunning engagement ring Fetty Wap used to propose on Instagram, congratulating the couple. The ring was estimated to be worth $37,000. Following their separation, Leandra reportedly filed legal documents requesting the return of the ring or reimbursement for its value, as reported by TMZ.
Allegations of Abuse and Infidelity
The couple’s marriage was short-lived, unraveling amid serious allegations. In May 2020, Leandra filed for divorce and accused Fetty Wap of physical and emotional abuse, according to TMZ. She alleged that just a month into their marriage, an argument escalated into a physical altercation where Fetty Wap punched her, leaving her bruised and with a black eye.
Beyond the alleged physical abuse, Leandra also claimed that Fetty Wap struggled with substance abuse, involving both alcohol and drugs. She further alleged that he engaged in extramarital affairs, even traveling with another woman during their marriage, ultimately leading to her decision to end the relationship. The divorce was finalized in September 2020, as reported by TMZ.
No Children Together
Despite Fetty Wap being a father to six children with five different women, he and Leandra did not have any children during their brief marriage. Fetty Wap’s children range in age from 5 to 12. Tragically, his youngest daughter, Lauren, passed away in August 2021 at the age of four due to congenital cardiac anomalies.
