Waka Flocka Flame: rapper, potential presidential candidate, and now weather reporter?
The bling-loving rapper was in Columbia, South Carolina this week to perform at a benefit concert, when he stopped by local news channel News19 to talk about a benefit concert to support those affected by recent flooding. For some genius reason, they also put him in front of a green screen and had him read the weather forecast – or something to that effect, anyway. Catch how many references to his own songs you can pick up on:
“Rain, rain go away, that’s what all the haters say” – okay, so it’s not exactly telling us if we need an umbrella or not, but it certainly is entertaining.
Whether you love or hate his music, there’s no denying that Waka Flocka has put himself in the news for some pretty interesting reasons of late. He recently broke up a fight at a concert and made the opponents hug it out, and earlier this year he cancelled a performance following leaked footage of a fraternity displaying horrifically racist behaviour. He’s also openly criticised Donald Trump’s comments about Mexico and taken part in an anti-fur campaign for PETA.
Waka Flocka Flame is set to release a new, free album, Flockaveli 1.5, on November 19.
