A special ceremony was held at the Grand Courtroom on March 9 awarding the rapper with the key to Brooklyn. Among those in attendance were close friends Ryan Leslie, Wale and DJ Clue. Swizz Beatz had the honors of presenting Fab with the award. Upon presenting the award, Swizz said:

“Congratulations to my brother Fab for being the secret weapon. I call him the secret weapon. He’s the secret weapon for fashion, the secret weapon for music, the secret weapon for creativity, he’s the secret weapon behind a lot of artists doing what they do today.”
