The Trap Queen hitmaker is headlining a gig in Paterson on 27 August (15) in an effort to inspire inner city youth.

The first 1,200 Paterson students who present their ID will receive a ticket to the event at Bauerle Field next to Fetty Wap's former school, Eastside High.

Paterson Mayor Joey Torres praised the hip-hop star's eagerness to return to his roots, telling local newspaper The Record, "The world is paying tribute to him, so why can't we? This is all about wishes coming true. This is an urban rags-to-riches story. It doesn't get better than this."
