Fetty Wap continued his East Coast exclusive tour called his “Official Welcome Home Concert” on April 9 at The Webster in Hartford, CT. He’s getting right back into performing, starting the tour just over a month after being released from jail. He’s visited various East Coast colleges and universities, as well as venues in well-known cities.

The Webster venue is fairly small, crowded layout which made the show feel more intense and personal compared to a larger arena, especially within a completely sold-out floor and fans pressed up to the barricade.

The concert opened with multiple songs from his newly released album “Zavier” which dropped March 27, 2026, instead of his older hits just yet. The newer tracks focused heavily on his served time in jail, covering themes of regret, personal mistakes and the impact his incarceration had on his personal relationships. At the same time, the songs emphasized loyalty, with repeated
references to his family and friends staying by his side through everything.

The tone at the beginning of the set was more serious and reflective than what many in the crowd expected I think, but nonetheless a personal and charming way to start the night, a side to his music that many who only know him for his top songs might miss on first listen.

The show started out with Fetty wearing a suit and tie, bringing out his sister Divinity, fellow artist Ymanie and a friend on stage to perform his track “White Roses” while throwing a bouquet of real roses to the crowd. It was a jazz type song, a new sound for Fetty Wap to explore, and said to be his favorite track off of the new album.

Also from “Zavier,” he brought out fellow Remy Boy Monty to perform “N LUV” which was awesome to see, as well as Suzi to do “Nobody’s Better.” He brought fellow artist Rob McCoy to perform “Spot Back” which might be my personal favorite off the album.

He also sung “Favorite Girl,” which he commented was a close second favorite and “Fool For You” sampled from The Cranberries’ “Linger” which he performed purely acapella with no backtrack to make sure the crowd knew he didn’t lose his voice over the years. Lastly there was “LYG” featuring Oskama Esteban and “Real Ones” featuring Albee Al & Harrd Luck.

About an hour and a half into the set, Fetty switched it up and played his known hits starting off with fan favorites like “Trap Queen,” “Again,” “679,” and my personal favorite of all of his songs, “My Way.” His new album “Zavier” was so new, and with little time to memorize lyrics, it was no surprise that fans in the crowd weren’t singing along much in the beginning. However, it was clear that the crowd still appreciated every second looking around where I was standing.

But once the first beat hit of “Again” the crowd erupted into the lyrics, so much so that he performed many of the songs over again due to the fan’s hype about hearing the 2016 hits straight from Fetty himself instead of their car speakers.

It was surreal to be in the crowd that night, standing at the barricade the experience felt incredibly interactive compared to any concert I had been to previously. Instead of only photographers and managers of the set rummaging in between barricade and stage, Fetty has a tradition of bringing his entire family to each concert he does. Once he was released and on tour again since 2022, if you’re at barricade you are inches away from accidentally talking to a close family member of his.

This idea of family being in between the crowd and the artist removes the typical separation between artist and audience, making the entire experience feel that much more personal when seeing Fetty Wap in concert. The fact that embers of his family, including his sister, uncle and his daughter meant that I had the opportunity to have conversation with people who interact with Fetty day to day.

It’s definitely the coolest thing I’ve experienced in concert yet, it almost being like having a VIP pass to see him myself without having to pay extra.
