Waka Flocka Flame recently stirred quite a buzz on social media by claiming he was beaten by ten men, only to recant shortly after.
It all began when the Atlanta rapper posted a picture of himself looking battered on Instagram. Along with the image, he expressed disbelief that no one helped him during this supposed altercation. The internet, in true form, went wild with speculation and jokes.
However, within hours, Waka returned to his Instagram with a clear face and a hearty laugh, revealing that his initial post was nothing but a prank. ‘Crazy y’all believed that!’ he mocked his audience.
Waka took to X (formerly Twitter), pointing out the gullibility of the media and fans alike. ‘Internet be so quick to believe without doing research,’ he said, emphasizing how easily fake news can spread.
In a screenshot of his posts shared on Instagram, Waka added, ‘Life can be a movie or reality… remember to do your research.’ Despite his explanations, fans were less than impressed, many pointing out that he himself was the source of the misinformation.
Adding to the controversy, Waka has been vocal about his support for Donald Trump, despite being called out for never having voted. An X user highlighted this inconsistency, leading to more criticism. Despite the backlash, Waka remains firm in his views, stating that his voice holds more power than his vote.
Waka Flocka’s antics have drawn both laughter and criticism, but they also highlight the importance of verifying information in our digital age.
