Waka Flocka Flame has offered us some confirmation that he is in fact “a wack rapper”, also confirming that he is a Gemini as well.
In January, rapper Waka Flocka Flame hinted at his retirement from hip-hop by posting that his last album would arrive this year. On the latest episode of Complex’s Everyday Struggle, he reinforced this notion by looking back at his career, claiming “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.”
Then he pointed to artists like Kendrick Lamar, Nas and DMX, saying he is nothing like them. “I can’t rap like them folks… Put me and K-Dot in the booth,” he joked. “I’m a wack rapper but a hell of an entertainer.”

As Revolt TV notes, he previously shared a similar idea on BET’s Raq Rants back in 2018. “I don’t want to rap, I did what I came to do,” he said. “I’ve already passed $30 million. Everybody I started with is rich. Everybody is happy. Everybody has kids. I don’t have anything else to do. Everybody else who didn’t make it, they died or got kids, my right-hand man who was running the streets with me is a pastor. Life changed for me.”
Recently, he posted a video on Instagram where he rebutted the assertion that hip-hop is dangerous. “I’ve got to say this real quick, I’ll probably—and I’m gonna delete this sh*t, but: Please stop saying rap is dangerous,” he said while filming in his car. “This sh*t making more money outta any genre in the world. Hip-hop is beautiful, bro. To be a gangbanging rapper is f*ckin’ dangerous, to be a drug-dealing rapper is dangerous, anything that’s negative is dangerous, idiotics.”
