This is shocking. According to TMZ, "Trap Queen" rapper Fetty Wap was reportedly seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in New Jersey. Per reports, the artist is now at a local hospital being treated for his injuries — the extent of which are currently unclear.

TMZ reports, via eye-witnesses, that Fetty Wap — who was born Willie Maxwell — was riding his motorcycle in his hometown of Paterson, New Jersey on Saturday when the accident reportedly took place. From the gossip site:

An eye-witness tells TMZ the rapper was on his motorcycle Saturday and tried passing one vehicle, he didn't see another coming in the opposite direction and they collided.

Paramedics allegedly arrived on the scene shortly after the reported incident and attended to the rapper before rushing him to hospital. He was reportedly said to be conscious and able to sit up, but it wasn't immediately evident if he suffered more serious injuries. It's also unclear whether or not the occupant(s) of the vehicle that he reportedly collided with sustained any injuries, but none have been reported so far.

No further details are available at the current time, but here's hoping he makes a quick recovery and hasn't sustained more serious injuries.
