AceShowbiz - Waka Flocka Flame is weighing in on the current events in the wake of the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after being suffocated by Minnepolis police officer. The incident enraged people and prompted riots in the city. Taking to his Instagram account, the rapper shared his perspective on the matter.
In a Thursday, May 28 Instagram Story post, Waka wondered, "Why let these kids in America grow up with fear for the cops?" In a separate post, he appeared to blast people going violent while protesting in Minnepolis.
He wrote, "Why trash the your neighborhoods? Looting is not Justice that's criminal." Additionally, he urged everyone to "stay on task!!"
Fans were not impressed by his opinions. A fan dismissed his thoughts by saying, "Waka been giving his unwanted opinions a lot lately." Another fan hotly responded, "I love how we're expected to be professional protestors. Stop trying to correct the reaction CORRECT THE PROBLEM!"
"Riots lead to social reform because the system doesn't care when we do it peacefully so we result to destructiveness so when we start to destroy America they'll listen burn it all up in my opinion then they will listen like it or not rioting is effective," another user chimed in.
Someone else added, "white ppl burned down black business, churches, and towns, but y'all steady whining about target? as if a man wasn't killed on camera. really?"
Waka's opinion on the riot was in contrary to Cardi B's. The "Bodak Yellow" raptress previously defended the protesters, tweeting earlier in the day, "They looting in Minnesota and as much as I don't like this type of violence it is what it is. Too much peaceful marches,too much trending hashtags and NO SOLUTIONS! The people are left with NO CHOICE."
