Waka Flocka Flame & Gucci Mane Back in Jail

Posted on by

Waka Flocka Flame isn’t putting up a fight. The “Hard in da Paint” rapper turned himself over to authorities today on a variety of drug, gun, and gang-related charges stemming from a police raid of his home in December. According to TMZ, Waka avoided going on the lam because, as his mother Debra Antney explained, he “didn’t want to run.”

Flame, whose Atlanta house was raided on December 16 while he wasn’t in the residence, was booked on charges including possession of marijuana, a firearm by a convicted felon, hydrocodone, and a firearm during the commission of a felony; violation of probation for driving on a suspended license; and violating Georgia’s “Criminal Street Gang and Terror Prevention Act.”

Currently being held on $31,950 bond with a hearing set for tomorrow, the New York native surrendered because “he wanted to do the right thing and didn’t want to run.” Coincidentally, his mentor Gucci Mane headed to jail today after he was arrested while in Waka’s house during the raid. He is facing a 17-month sentence if found guilty for violating his probation.

I just don’t get it! These Rappers make all this money, have the legal opportuity to live a decent lifestyle, and they always F it up.  These are the idols our kids are looking up too, it makes no sense.  We gotta do better!!

On the end of her marriage to The-Dream
No matter what, you can’t change who you are. I know that now. I tried to be someone I wasn’t because I wanted my marriage to work. But ultimately, if it’s not working, it’s not working.”

On the cheating scandal
I didn’t know anything. But looking back, my gut was telling me something was off. But I thought I could fix it.

On lessons learned

I learned a lot about myself this year. I learned what I can handle. I learned how much I can take. I learned who I am and what I will accept for myself and my daughter.

On becoming a mom
Being a new mother definitely makes me feel so much sexier than ever before. There’s a certain responsibility that I carry being a mom that makes me feel very confident and so blessed. Being a mom is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

On what’s next
I feel brand new. I’ve been to hell and back, but I survived. I’m stronger for it and now I’m ready for the next phase of my life.

Instead of delivering a new track as part of his Monster Mondays series, Swizz Beatz releases a mini-documentary showing the making of last week’s giveaway “Speechless” featuring Alicia Keys and Eve. With Swizzy positioned at the board, his wife can be seen in the studio footage recording the personal song about the couple’s son, Egypt Daoud Dean.

“I haven’t put any songs out since my son was born, and so to be able to kind of write this song that talks about him and how he makes me speechless, the poet in me has gone away because I don’t even know what to say when I look at him. It’s dope,” explains the beaming mom.

Jazmine Sullivan Announces Departure From Music

Jazmine Sullivan made a shocking announcement on Twitter today. The R&B singer revealed to thousands of fans that she intends to take a break from music, placing her budding career on hold.

Interesting, I wonder why she is breaking from music. She is such a talented singer/songwriter and I love her range as a singer. Maybe she just needs time to find herself and what she really wants to do.
