The already fickle relationship between rappers Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame took another turn this week as Waka appeared to call out Gucci over his street cred during an interview on BBC Radio 1Xtra.
Waka already had the internet buzzing about yet another possible rift between himself and Guwop when he revealed the cover art to his “Was My Dawg” single. The artwork features the outline of a person who looks very similar to Gucci.
After declaring that “It’s gonna get real crazy Wednesday,” Waka was asked who he plans on taking aim at on “Was My Dawg.” He states that the record “ain’t going at Gucci” before informing listeners that he and Gucci were never “super tight.”
He also called out rappers who put on a fake gangster persona on the internet.
“Fans wanna know ‘Waka, when you and Gucci making that CD?’ It ain’t never happening … The internet is not the streets,” Waka Flocka Flame said. “It’s a lot of rappers looking gangsta on the internet, but they soft in the streets. It’s a lot of stories behind rappers … It ain’t going at Gucci. Everybody think cause I put a picture up saying ‘Was my dawg’ … Even before Gucci went to jail. We never was like super tight.”
Later in the interview, Waka revealed that he “made that baby sit down” while discussing a past encounter with Gucci.
“I haven’t been cool with Gucci since my best friend got killed,” he said. “That’s 2012. You dig what I’m saying? Gucci know how I feel about him. It was a lot of rappers in the studio when me and Gucci was going at it. And I made that baby sit down … If you wanna play tough and act like you macho and you the big dog and you this, that, and the third, cool. But the streets gonna wipe your nose every time.”
He also asked a question about the East Atlanta Santa filming a video in East Atlanta since his release from prison.
“Hey, since he been out, did he shoot a video in East Atlanta? Since Gucci been out, did he shoot a video in East Atlanta? Alright. I’m exposing these folks. I ain’t no hater, I’m just exposing,” he said.
Waka’s latest commentary comes roughly a year and a half after he revealed that he was still on good terms with Gucci.
“Yeah, we speak,” he said, during a 2015 interview with Hot 97. “That’s my boy. At the end of the day, if Gucci [struggling broke], I still looked like a fucked up person for that. At the end of the day, my platform was with Gucci. You follow me? It’s nothing I can ever say now — Where I’m at in life, I did that. But my beginning started with Gucci.”

Oh shut the fuck up Richard Sherman!
Wow. A grown man screaming for attention. He’s hurting bc he misses Gucci. Smh
Sounds like Waka salty because he see everybody reachin out to Guwop for features dude been gettin busy ever since he was released from prison stayin sober gettin money
First he had nothing to say to and about Gucci now this? He has issues
Waka lame for this tho. If you don’t fuck with somebody, why go the limits to “expose” them? If the situation dead, keep it dead. *shrugs*
Sounds salty he is a nobody now and everyone reaching out to Gucci. Also, questioning Gucci’s street cred? Lol that is laughable, he is/was very legit.
nawwww the main point is . He just exposed Gucci that’s all that is . And ya’ll don’t like well guess what. Fuck who else don’t like it
Expose how? What has been said? You sounding like a Stan right about now. Where the facts? Do an album cover is exposing somebody now? What age do you live in? Which rock did you crawl out of?
When men exposed other men its bitch shit period. What does it matter? That’s one thing I hated about the hood dude like yea I just had to expose the only reason you doing it because its personal and you try to destroy that man’s character. What next you going to go to his girl and tell her about all his past relationships. Simp ass punk
(((Danielle Harling))) gets turned on when IDF slaughters palestine children
You can bet your ass on that!
jealous loser.. ain’t nobody payin any attention to this has been.. mad coz Gucci is winning n knowing he ain’t gon reply coz he ain’t trana go back to jail..!!This clown came up coz v Gucci.. biting the hand that fed him, got a buzz after being robbed.. like the stripper, beef ain’t gonna help his sales
Salty ass nigga right here. Questioning Street Cred. If I recall correctly wasn’t Waka one of Gucci shooters before Waka became an artist. This is the perfect example of crab in the barrel syndrome right here. Gucci just came out the Fed getting money, #1 single , getting calls for features all day, Gucci sober 24/7 living a healthier life and Waka is just hating hard. Whats crazy about this whenever Gucci do an interview and they ask him about Waka, Gucci keep it plain and simple no disrespect at all towards Waka, all thats said is “Me and Waka don’t talk and we will never talk” and that’s it. Fuck Waka want Gucci to do? Go back to the old ways and go back to prison? Wish nothing but bad luck for Waka for hating on his former BOSS like this.
Waka mad nobody checking for him and now all he can do is community college tours $5 per ticket and local EDM shows. Fuck your life Waka
Wish PAC was alive for these sorry ass no lyric havin rappers
Sounds bit jealous to me, gucci doing his thing while waka flopping lol.
I think HHDX is reading to much into this and blowing it up trying to make something out of nothing in which this situation is , todays beefs are very weak at best because the guys involved are talentless and most are garbage
Since he’s on the topic of keeping it real. How about he explain how he got robbed in LA, by Pirus for his chain.
this is the dumbest beef ever, it’s so passive aggressive and bitchy. you wanna be all hood and street but you do a dumb angel silhouette and talk all mysterious. this is the album equivalent of those idiots on facebook who write public status updates to someone but never say their name and they want everyone to comment “who you talking about are you okay?” fuck Aunt Waka.
Didn’t Gucci during his Twitter meltdown tweet something about how a rapper was fuckin Waka moms who would manage people.. was it OJ juice man or Frenchie i don’t remember
