People: Fetty Wap issued tickets after crash
Wap
“Trap Queen” rapper Fetty Wap has received three summonses after he was injured in a motorcycle crash in his northern New Jersey hometown.
Paterson Police Director Jerry Speziale said the 25-year-old Wap was cited for driving without a license, not having insurance and failing to produce a vehicle registration card.
Wap was hospitalized after police say his motorcycle collided with a car Saturday afternoon. Police said his injuries were not considered life-threatening.
Wap, whose real name is Willie Maxwell, has had three Top-10 songs in the last year and released his debut album “Fetty Wap” on Friday.
The woman driving the car also was hurt.

‘Gomey’ campaigning in New Mexico
Two “Breaking Bad” stars who tried to nab drug lords in the fictional AMC-TV series are trying to shake up the New Mexico political scene in real life.
Dean Norris, who played DEA agent Hank Schrader on the show, is campaigning for Steven Michael Quezada, who is running for the Bernalillo County Commission, KOB-TV reports. Quezada played DEA agent “Gomey” in the series.
Norris was back in Albuquerque last week urging residents to register to vote. He then attended events with Quezada.
“It’s the great right that we have in this country, so first thing you’ve got to do is register,” Norris said. “People complain about the political process all the time without registering to vote. That’s the first step to fixing things.”
The 52-year-old Quezada, an elected Albuquerque Public Schools board member, is one of four candidates seeking a District 2 commission seat.
“This is really important that we use the power of ‘Breaking Bad’ and what television does and what media does to get people back involved in the process,” Quezada said.
Quezada said Bob Odenkirk, who played a sleazy lawyer Saul Goodman on “Breaking Bad” and spinoff “Better Call Saul,” also will campaign on his behalf.
