This is not the first time the “No Hands“ rapper had praise for Trump. In a viral clip that has repeatedly made the rounds on social media platforms, Waka broke down financial advice on avoiding excessive taxation that Trump gave him. When asked at the time if he voted for Trump, Waka laughed and asked, “Why would I vote?” It would seem he has changed his mind.
Waka Flocka Flame and Donald Trump seem to be great friends.
In April 2021, Waka received a presidential medal as part of a “Lifetime Achievement” award, signed by President Trump from when he was in office.
The award is a recognition of community service on behalf of the American President. Trump awarded it to him on account of his humanitarian nonprofit charity Daughter of Destiny. A very joyful Waka was presented the award by Apostle Dr. Bridget Outlaw in his hometown of Atlanta, GA, according to TMZ.
