Waka Flocka Flame

<a href="/profile/wakaflockaflame" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Waka Flocka</a> Flame recently weighed in on the death of <a href="/profile/takeoff" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Takeoff</a> while speaking with Shannon Sharpe for his podcast, Club Shay Shay. The <a href="/profile/migos" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Migos</a> rapper was <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/445921-migos-rapper-takeoff-shot-killed-in-houston-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shot and killed</a> in Houston back in November during a dice game.



The topic arose when Sharpe brought up the number of rappers who have <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/616636-gangsta-boos-cause-of-death-believed-to-be-drug-overdose-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">died in recent years</a>, including <a href="/profile/pop-smoke" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Pop Smoke</a>, <a href="/profile/pnb-rock" class="text-word" target="_blank" >PnB Rock</a>, Trouble, as well as Takeoff.



“I can’t tell you why, and I never want to speak on nobody’s death, but I could tell you this: when God blesses you, you have to change your ways, you have to evolve — you have to,” Waka said. “I could just say wrong place, wrong time for these guys.”

“So, in other words, once you ascend to a certain level, you gotta leave that alone,” Sharpe clarified. 



“Oh yeah, I don’t roll dice,” Waka interjected. “With all respect, why would I roll dice with somebody that ain’t in my tax bracket? It’s liable that some shit could happen.”



Sharpe then admitted that he likes to “show you that I don’t think I’m better than you.”



“Boy, I ain’t never been that n***a,” Waka replied. “I watch people die everyday like that — that’s why I ain’t never been him … I ain’t got nothing to prove to y’all.”



While Shannon Sharpe spoke with Waka Flocka Flame, earlier this week, the former NFL star took Tuesday off from his Fox Sports 1 show, Undisputed. Upon return, he and Skip Bayless went at it over a controversial tweet Bayless posted regarding <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/617278-damar-hamlins-uncle-reveals-he-was-resuscitated-twice-shares-concern-of-lung-damage" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Damar Hamlin</a>.
