AceShowbiz - Waka Flocka Flame has sent the Internet into a frenzy with his recent social media post. The "Round of Applause" rapper shared a photo of him going bald on Instagram, and fans couldn't help but react to his new look.
In the said picture, the 36-year-old emcee was smiling ear-to-ear as he wore a black suit and a pink tie. He then told his fans to "caption" the hilarious image.
The post has since been flooded with mixed reactions. One fan wrote in disbelief, "Boy what the hell." Another claimed, "This scared me," while a third echoed the similar sentiment, "This surprised the hella outta me this morning."
Others, in the meantime, likened Waka to several public figures. "Why you look like [Al Roker] Jr???" One asked. Someone else jokingly commented, "Steve Harvey? Dat you?" A different person quipped, "Funeral Home Director."
The look was just a filter though. Responding to fans' concern, he wrote in the comment section, "these jokes getting personal [crying laughing emojis] this post was a bad idea."
Jokes aside, Waka recently admitted that he blamed himself for his split from his wife Tammy Rivera. When speaking to Shannon Sharpe on the "Club Shay Shay" podcast, he said they parted ways because he had too much on his plate, saying, "That was me."
"I was a brother, a son, a husband, a father, a CEO, a chairman of a company, pay attention to my career, protect my freedom, my life, and think of new business ideas, that's 10," the emcee added. "11, I gotta learn how to protect it. 12, I got to know what's going on."
"I'm like, 'F**k, it was a lot to handle,' and nobody understood how something was going to fall short... I'm tired of living for everybody and I got tired of seeing my wife just live with his umbrella over her," he further shared. "It gets to a point like, 'Damn, you chewed too much.' "
