The Paterson Police Department also told ET that they
responded to the accident and that Fetty, whose real name is Willie Maxwell, is
doing "fine."

“As a result of the police investigation, there were three
summons issued to [Maxwell],” Speziale said. “One was for operating without
a license, he was in possession what we call an ID only, he doesn’t have a
license. He also was given a summons for not having any insurance. And finally
for not having a registration in his possession, so failure to provide any of
those documents.”

He added, "In New Jersey state, if you don't have insurance it is a mandatory court appearance."

A court date has not been set. 

His friend, DJ Louie Styles, posted a photo of Fetty from the hospital with a splint on his leg, assuring fans that he's doing well following the accident. "Wap is Guggi everybody thank you for your prayers," he tweeted.

DJ Akademiks, who was not on the scene at the time, has been updating Fetty's fans with photos and videos from the accident site.

Fetty just celebrated the release of his debut album Thursday night at the Marble House in New York City's Tribeca neighborhood, with the LP dropping on Friday.

The rapper later posted an Instagram video to thank his fans
for their support as he recovers. "Appreciate Ya so much for the prayers," Fetty
captioned the vid. "They told me don't make a video but I'm still
breathing so I gotta let ya no I'll be back."

The rapper was one of Taylor Swift's surprise guests last month during the Seattle stop on her 1989 World Tour, a moment she called the "happiest day of my life."

Even sweeter was a moment just weeks earlier when Kate Hudson danced and rapped to "Trap Queen" along with her 11-year-old son, Ryder, during a wait in an airport. Watch that mother-son bonding moment in the video below.
