Fetty Wap lost his left eye due to congenital glaucoma, a condition he was born with. He was diagnosed with glaucoma at about six months old, which led to the loss of his left eye. Doctors were able to save and even improve the vision in his right eye through surgery, which took place when he was around 12 years old. Initially, he wore a prosthetic eye but later chose to stop wearing it because he didn't want to look like everyone else. Fetty Wap has clarified multiple times that his eye loss was not due to an accident, shooting, or any other rumors, but strictly due to glaucoma from infancy
