Mom Thanks Fetty Wap for Inspiring Son to Not Wear Prosthetic Eye

A mother took to Instagram to thank Fetty Wap for encouraging her son to "be different" and not wear a prosthetic eye. Brenda Vaden is the mother of Jayden, a young boy who lost his eye when he was one-years-old to Retinoblastoma, an eye cancer. In the Instagram post she details how Jayden had his right eye removed two weeks after his first birthday. Since then her son has never had the confidence to be seen without his prosthetic eye. Howeeve, that changed when Jayden became a fan of Fetty Wap.

"Jayden, let it be known, is a Fetty Wap fan, a real fan, not like me ha! Well, today, after weeks of asking, Jayden is venturing the world without his prosthetic," she wrote. "I of course am a wreck because this world can be cruel, but so proud of our Boogies. This young rapper unknowingly gave Jayden something we weren’t able to give him-the confidence to be different- and I am grateful to him. Thanks to Fetty Wap for saying F the world this is me, and for helping make our baby boy just a little more remarkable than he already is. And we’ll be purchasing his album, a small thank you to him for changing Jayden’s life forever." See the whole message above.

The 2015 XXL Freshman saw the message and wrote back to the Vaden family. "All I wanna do is show ppl that it's not how you look or what you see it's how you see it and what you're looking for from yourself," Fetty replied in the comment section on the Instagram post. See comment below.

Fetty Wap's self-titled debut album is coming out next week. The New Jersey-native performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night (Sept. 16). Fetty performed "679," which is just one of his many songs on the charts right. The performance can be seen below.
