Talking with radio host Kelson The Urban Informer last weekend, Flocka briefly discussed his short stint in a Georgia jail.
“Yeah man, I’ll be in Baltimore [on] Wednesday, to turn that up too,” Waka said assuring fans of his release from jail. “I don’t know why these folks think they locked me up for a very long time. I only been there for like two and a half days. That’s a long time to them, I’d hate to see where my life’d be. Yeah [I was Tweeting from jail.] Oh yeah, I was on that. When the guard was coming, he was telling me I was getting out.” (92 Q)
