PARAMUS -- If you partook in early Christmas shopping at Garden State Plaza this weekend, you might have scored some extra cash, courtesy of Fetty Wap.

As he walked through the Paramus mall with his posse Saturday -- to delighted screams from onlookers -- the popular Paterson rapper reportedly threw $2,700 ($2,000 in singles and $700 in $20s, says Vibe.com) over the railing, down to gawkers snapping photos and video of the dreadlocked emcee.

See video of the rapper born Willie Maxwell's spark of generosity below.

The 24-year-old rhymer is inarguably hip-hop's breakout star this year, scoring three Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as a No. 1 debut album, which dropped in September. He will appear at Prudential Center's Hot For The Holidays show in Newark Dec. 5 and Madison Square Garden's Z100's Jingle Ball Dec. 11. 

#fettywap threw money as he walked in #gardenstateplaza in NJ today. Life must be good for him. His baby mama was with him that was arguing wit him before too.
