Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame recently updated fans on his stance toward one-time rap sidekick Gucci Mane and explained why they can never rekindle their past relationship.
When asked about Gucci, Flocka simply disassociated himself from the 1017 Brick Squad leader.
“It’s over for him. The only thing Gucci I wear is the clothing line. Like as a friend, it’s over. For me to risk my life, give my life, give my loyalty, give my friendship, to see somebody treat it like it was some ink on a paper? Nah,” Waka said in an interview. “I’m super big on loyalty, but me and Gucci separated our differences like a year and a half ago, like signed from each other. I just felt like I wasn’t going to be the one to come out. I feel like me and him got two different outlooks. I want to be a successful Forbes List man. I don’t want to be a successful hood n*gga. Three people in my family graduated. I’m trying to break that chain. I just want to be different. I can’t be strung out on XYZ drugs. I just can’t do it.” (WKYS)
Last fall, Waka said Gucci was the one responsible for exposing the public to their behind-the-scenes feud.
“Man, I been got out of a contract with Gucci. Me and him fell out 2012, but we kept it in house. He the person that spilled the beans,” Flocka revealed in an interview. “I feel like it’s a gimmick – ain’t nothing crazy about him.” (Hot 107.9)
A few weeks prior, Flocka released a diss track directed at his former partner.
Following their public blowout and Gucci’s subsequent meltdown on Twitter, Waka Flocka Flame goes on the record with his Gucci Mane diss “Ice Cream.” Over the 808 Mafia production, he calls out his former Brick Squad boss and lean-addicted rappers (“Ni**as sip codeine like it’s lemonade”), while professing his realness. “I been a real ni**a since second grade/ And when I met Gucci, thought I met a real ni**a/ Until he crossed the line and he became a f*ck ni**a,” raps Waka. Gucci is currently serving six months behind bars for violating his parole. “Ice Cream” can be found on Waka’s DJ Scream-hosted mixtape From Roaches to Rolex, which drops tomorrow. (Rap-Up)
He also spoke on their relationship fizzling out around mid-September.
“He lived in my mom’s crib for two years, rent-free,” Waka said referring to Gucci. “When I started going on tours, when I started buying different cars, I’m not leasing nothing, I started buying different jewelry, your conversation changes. You can’t lie anymore, it’s facts. I guess that crawls underneath people’s skin and when I come around I get a little different attention than you. I be seeing that messes with his ego. But I ain’t think he was going to go to that level. Like cyberspace. You know? That’s crazy. … He ain’t trying to get rid of that little contract. I want him to eat though. I don’t want to be out here looking like a bum. … If I catch him, it’s going digital. I don’t want to kill him or nothing, I just want to slap him a couple of times, almost like a little big brother. Gucci lost his noodles, man. People just think he’s gangsta, he really needs medical attention. That guy lost his noodles, man. …” (“The Breakfast Club”)
