Fetty Wap parents: Meet Alicia, Willie Maxwell II

Fetty Wap was born into a religious home to his parents Doria Hagans-Maxwell and Willie Maxwell Jr.

Willie Maxwell Jr. grew up in New Jersey in the family of Bishop Willie Maxwell Sr. He graduated from Hackensack High School. Willie was very young when he met Doria Hagans and fell in love with her. They created a big and friendly family. Fetty Wap remembers his childhood years with warmth. “We went to the church every weekend. After that, we made music at home. My daddy played the keyboard”, Fetty told.

Doria Hagans-Maxwell sang in the church choir when Fetty was very little. She was that person, who taught her son to love and understand music. But she was against Wap’s decision to become a professional musician, so it took some time for the hip-hop artist to convince her. She is a beautiful religious woman, who raised five kids with her husband Willie Maxwell.
