Waka Flocka Won't Put Up With Any "Red Flags"

Following the news that Waka Flocka and Rivera were getting a divorce, he discussed the reasoning behind their breakup in an interview with HipHopDX. "It’s definitely depressing with egg on your face, but when it’s like, for me, it just feels more comforting to say, ‘Man, I feel like I caused it,'" he revealed. "That’s me being a bigger man." He added, "That’s not saying me, I’m the reason that we split. That’s not the reason. There’s no reason. That cheating stuff, that shit happened eight years ago. The reason we split is … there’s no reason, I’m telling you. You don’t even know. It was just a mutual feeling.

Waka continued, opening up about the lessons he learned in his previous relationship. “I think every moment of each individual person’s life is meant to strengthen them, not hurt them,” he explained, “Going through my breakup taught me all this." "I think when I see people or situations that are super toxic," he added, "it let me know I’ve grown bigger than this. It’s time to grow up." "I’m bigger spiritually," he says, "I’m mentally stronger than this. I need to go.'
