Waka Flocka Flame Posts About New Music But Fans Are Angry It’s Not ‘Flockaveli 2:’ ‘Stop the Bull’

Is Waka Flocka Flame’s “Flockaveli 2” finally on its way?

It doesn’t look like it but the Atlanta rapper is releasing another project later on this month, according to Instagram.

Waka Flocka Flame Angers Fans For Not Releasing “Flockaveli 2.”

“Salute me or shoot me. Six files came in,” he wrote.

Even though it appears Waka is talking about music files that contain completed songs, he still didn’t say anything about “Flockaveli 2” and why it’s not arriving.

The project was supposed to drop on Oct. 5 after Waka announced the release date on Instagram earlier this year. He also shared the artwork so fans were certainly disappointed that it didn’t’ come out.

Plus, they were frustrated at Waka’s recent tweet because he didn’t mention “Flockaveli 2” or the second volume of his “I Can’t Rap” mixtape.

“Stop the bull. When ‘Flockaveli’ 2 drop?” asked one fed up fan.

“Don’t let this distract from the fact the ‘Flockaveli 2’ still didn’t drop on Oct. 5th, and we still didn’t get ‘I can’t rap vol 2,'” wrote someone else.

“Where’s ‘Flockaveli 2?’ a third person chimed in. “That’s what we’re waiting for.”

At this point, it’s been six years since Waka’s last album dropped, “Triple F Life: Friends, Fans & Family, and since then he’s had it out with his record label and accused them of delaying “Flockaveli 2.”

“I f—— my label,” he wrote in 2015. “Atlantic records, let me buy out.”

Of course, there’s still a chance the highly anticipated project will still arrive this year as planned, but there’s no indication of that.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
