Waka Flocka Flame has weighed in on the COVID-19 pandemic and his take on the situation is nothing short of glorious.
In an interview on Real 92.3 LA yesterday, Waka was asked if he was concerned about the crisis. He isn’t.
“It’s fake…minorities can’t catch it.” After hosts challenged his unorthodox opinion, he challenged them. “Name one though.”
“We all descended from the same persons. Now, did we catch it? It hit the people passing through our airport [Atlanta], it ain’t touch them, soulful folks.”
Honestly, Flocka says things with such conviction that a part of me really wants to believe him. You can watch the interview below.

These past few weeks have seen Flocka Flame renaissance. In February, Flocka featured on an episode of Complex’s Everyday Struggle, which saw him reflect on his career and proclaim. “I was a wack rapper.”
He estimates that by 2012 or 2013, he had $31 million in the bank. “At that point in my life, I’m being real on my dead brother,” he said. “Why was I rapping? I’m rich, I wanted to be rich. So from that time to right now, I wanted to figure out how can I become a billionaire and a multi-millionaire off of business. Because I did it with rap. I was a wack rapper, like I knew I was wack, but I was real. My realness overcame my wackness.”

This is the kind of radical transparency and willingness to say completely outlandish things that I crave from pop culture.
Waka Flocka Flame isn’t the only musician who has offered an interesting take on COVID-19. Shaggy 2 Dope of Insane Clown Posse took the liberty of filming a COVID-19 survival video. In the survival guide, Shaggy 2 Dope advises that the best way to immunise oneself against the virus is to consume “dirt snow”.
“Good old fashioned dirt snow. God made dirt. Dirt don’t hurt. Take out the rocks, and then it will build your immune system,” he proclaims before shoving a handful of dark grey snow into his mouth.
