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 says 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 treated at a hospital for undisclosed injuries after police say his motorcycle collided with a car Saturday afternoon. Details of his injuries were not disclosed but they were not considered life-threatening. The woman driving the car also was injured.



Fetty's team released a statement Saturday night, saying:



Fetty Wap was involved in a motorcycle incident earlier today. He was treated at a local hospital and is in stable condition. His family wants to thank everyone for their outpouring of love and support.
They ask that you respect their privacy during this time. We will provide an update on his condition as it becomes available.



The crash remains under investigation.



Wap, who was born Willie Maxwell, has had a lot of success in the past year with three Top-10 songs, including the hit "Trap Queen," which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.



His debut album, "Fetty Wap," was released Friday.
