Rumors have been circulating that Waka Flocka Flame and his wife, Tammy Rivera, have split.
But when we asked the “Hard in Da Paint” rapper if the rumors were true, he told us, “No habla Ingles. No comment. It’s beautiful, next question.”
The couple has been married since 2014 and had a reality show for two seasons, “Waka & Tammy: What The Focka,” on We tv.
The Atlanta rapper celebrated his partnership in SKRIT, the Canadian luxury streetwear brand, with an exclusive industry dinner at Tao Downtown on Wednesday night.
But while he wouldn’t discuss his marriage, he was in a mood of self-reflection, telling us of his time in the pandemic: “Quarantine let me know how goddamn lazy I was. Quarantine let me know how complacent I was. Quarantine let me know how selfish I was. Quarantine is the first time in my life were I really discovered myself. It was beyond waking up late. I think if it took quarantine to get your hustle on, you got some reflecting to do on your own, and you got some forgiving to do with yourself to.”
He said of jumpstarting his new business venture: “Quarantine made me feel like I did not do enough. This clothing line made me wake up and smell my flowers and not kiss my ass.” He said that these days, “I meditate and pray every day, I rarely smoke weed anymore. My purpose is to save souls and save Earth. I know I sound like a nerd on some off-the-wall s–t.”
Waka told us back in March of 2020 that his sex life with his wife in quarantine was great. He commented at the time, “My mother and my mother-in-law [are] acting like having a baby is like making a mixtape. Like, ‘When’s it gonna drop?’ ”
When asked if he’s celibate these days, along with the meditation and prayer, he shot back: “That’s personal.”
