New Jersey rapper Fetty Wap was among approximately a dozen people arrested on federal drug offenses at Citi Field Thursday, multiple news outlets say citing senior law enforcement officials.

FBI agents apparently nabbed the Paterson native -- whose real name is William Junior Maxwell II -- at the stadium where the Rolling Loud music festival was being held.

Maxwell is expected to appear Friday in federal court.

The "Trap Queen" artist made headlines over the summer when news broke that his 4-year-old daughter died.
