Rapper Fetty Wap gave fans something to run for when he tossed handfuls of cash over a balcony at a New Jersey mall to the pleasure of fans and onlookers.

Videos posted to social media show the rapper throwing the money on Saturday as he walked through the Garden State Plaza mall in Paramus, the Associated Press reported.

The rapper posted on Twitter that he was so happy to be shopping with his daughter that he threw $2,000 to fans. He tweeted: "never no who needed it."

Wap's real name is Willie Maxwell. He has enjoyed a breakthrough year with multiple hits, including the Trap Queen.

His self-titled debut came in at No 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart this month, and his other Top 10 pop hits include 679 and My Way.

Yet he has also faced challenges. In September he seriously hurt his leg after being involved a traffic accident in Paterson.
