Waka Flocka Flame is entering a new phase as he has covered up a tattoo tribute to his estranged wife, Tammy Rivera.
On Sunday (March 24), the “O Let’s Do It” rapper took to Instagram to reveal his latest body art, which fully covers his hands and fingers. The new ink has replaced a previous tattoo that read “TAMMY,” located on his ring finger.
“They telling me i’m one of the Goats… Ima Icon…. Waka you Legend… Just know life is fucking great right now [exclamation point emoji],” he captioned the post, showcasing the new addition to his body that reads “SOUTH SIDE HITS SQUAD” as a testament to his roots and success.
The tattoo sparked mixed reactions among fans, igniting a debate over whether it contained a misspelled word.
“Bruh is your left hand missing the T in south lmaoo,” one fan inquired, while another added: “looks like the U and the T are connected.”
Others questioned his association with the illuminati with comments such as “So are u showing the tats or the illuminati sign?” and “Well wonder who is gonna be sacrificed for his entrance fee into the illuminati.”
Waka wasn’t feeling the pushback as he hopped in the comments section himself and wrote: “Mannnn [laughing face emoji] i’m showing my ink miss me with that internet bs and these crews, brotherhoods, etc ima Brick Squad Nixxa for life,” he responded.
Waka Flocka Flame’s tattoo transformation comes on the heels of his estranged wife and girlfriend Mel trading shots on social media. The whole ordeal began with a social-media post by Tammy, which some perceived as a dig at her ex’s new girl.
The Instagram meme shared by her read: “No one can ever make me jealous over a seat I had first. You wouldn’t be sitting there if I didn’t get up.”
Soon after, Mel posted a meme to her story that read: “Being washed up and can’t let go of your past is type crazy.”
Additionally, she had Diddy and Bryson Tiller‘s song “Gotta Move On” playing over it with the caption: “This is the one, cuz it’s giving jealous and bitter.”
When The Neighborhood Talk shared both stories while speculating the potential beef, Tammy entered the conversation in the comments section and clarified that even though she wasn’t throwing shade initially, she would be moving forward.
“Man I’m just waking up it’s 9am over where I’m at [face palm emoji],” she began. “Waka we literally just talked about this last night (your morning).. Waka get her please for I hurt this lil girl feelings. Oh btw that post wasn’t even about him nor you but hit dogs holla. You f’king up your seat Shein Tammy.”
