Fetty Wap hit the scene with chart breaking records like “Trap Queen,” and “My Way,” without missing a beat. He attracted music heads and women alike, despite the fact that he was noticeably missing an eye.

One little boy, Jayden Burgos, was inspired by the rapper’s boldness and has since opted to not wear his own prosthetic eye.

The 11-year-old wore the fake eye for years after suffering from retinoblastoma but seeing Fetty Wap bravely face the entertainment world without one encouraged him to do the same, People reports.

The 24-year-old invited Jayden backstage at his concert for a meet and greet.

“I’m happy I got to meet Jayden and his family,” Wap, 24, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “He is a really cool kid! It meant a lot to me personally to finally make his wish happen. It’s definitely a day we’ll both remember!”

So cool to see Fetty help one boy’s dreams come true. Here’s to loving who you are and how you were made!
