‘So Icey’: Waka Flocka Continues to Shower Tammy Rivera with Diamonds and Love for Her Belated Birthday

Tammy Rivera‘s husband Waka Flocka continues to celebrate her 34th birthday with romance and special gifts, some two weeks after the special day.

The former “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” star took to Instagram on Wednesday, Aug. 19, and posted a video of a diamond watch Waka purchased for her as a post-birthday gift. In the clip, Rivera placed her hand on top of her red Bentley steering wheel and showed off her massive wedding ring and her new bling.

“Birthday gifts still coming in… Thank you love @wakaflocka it match my necklace 🤗,” Rivera wrote in her caption. She turned 34 years old on July 30.

Along with her lavish watch, Waka also penned a sweet message to the love of his life on his Instagram story.

Rivera and Waka celebrated six years of marriage in January.

In an interview with Atlanta Black Star last year, Waka said his wife changed his life for the better.

“She helped me make better decisions, and that’s what I love about her,” he said. “She became a friend. … She fought it out with me. … That’s my woman, it’s not for me to brag about or talk about.”

The couple don’t share any children as of yet, but they do have Rivera’s daughter Charlie, 15, who Waka considers as his own daughter.

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.
