Paterson native Fetty Wap marries Alexis Hill in luxe NJ ceremony

Paterson native Fetty Wap and model Alexis Hill have officially tied the knot. The 35-year-old rapper, born Willie Maxwell II, married Hill in a lavish ceremony at The Legacy Castle in Pompton Plains on Nov. 5. The couple announced their nuptials in an Instagram post , captioned "Mr. And Mrs. Maxwell." The intimate ceremony, which reportedly drew about 90 to 100 guests, came less than four months after their engagement in July 2026. The marriage marks another milestone for Fetty Wap after his release from federal prison earlier this year. The "Trap Queen" rapper pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges in August 2022 and was sentenced in May 2023 to six years in prison. He served about three years before transitioning to home confinement and supervised release in January 2026, with his full sentence term scheduled to conclude on Nov. 8. Since returning home, Fetty Wap has focused on rebuilding his music career, releasing his fourth studio album " Zavier " in March. The album centers on themes of personal growth, time away from the spotlight and navigating a return to the music industry. The musician also embarked on his Nostalgia Tour earlier this year, making stops across the United

Why Do NYC Buildings Have Wooden Water Towers on the Roof?

New York City buildings have wooden water towers on their roofs because the city’s street-level water pressure is not always strong enough to reach the upper floors. In a traditional system, a pump lifts water to a tank above the apartments. When someone turns on a faucet or takes a shower, gravity sends that stored water back down through the building’s pipes. The rooftop tank is there to provide a dependable source of water and pressure, not to decorate the skyline.

Before Hollywood Took Over, This New Jersey Town Was Making Movies And Inventing The Cliffhanger

Centuries-old loot linked to ‘King of the Pirates’ discovered — with a shocking NYC connection

A newly unearthed treasure trove of pirate history has now been found to have New York roots. A peaceful Rhode Island fruit orchard was secretly hiding a centuries-old piece of history — until amateur treasure hunter James Bailey unexpectedly struck gold. Bailey isn’t a professional historian, but he has an uncanny knack for unearthing the past. Sweeping his metal detector across the dirt, he picked up a signal that led to a rare coin tied to a famous New Yorker — and a legendary pirate. The artifact turned out to be a 17th-century Arabian coin once pocketed by English pirate Captain Henry Every, who famously escaped to the American colonies after pulling off a brutal high-seas heist in the Red Sea. James Bailey discovered a centuries-old coin thought to be loot from the “King of the Pirates.” The Trustees of the British Museum Bailey told the Associated Press he was stunned when he dug out the dime-sized silver coin stamped with Arabic lettering. He believes it was minted in Yemen in 1693 before Captain Every carried it across the Atlantic. The bizarre and hilarious chaos on cruise ships exposed — including pirates, pot, and polar bears Every cemented his status

The focus is automotive history: preserved classics, racing icons and design landmarks. Collectors, dealers and restoration specialists from around the world will be there too, which means the people who really know these vehicles will be a few feet away. The lineup is where it gets ridiculous Here’s what’s confirmed so far. Jerry Seinfeld is bringing three of his personal Porsches. There’s also a 1958 Volkswagen T1 Single Cab in the mix.
