‘I Ain’t Her’: Tammy Rivera Checks Fans About Waka Flocka Marriage Post

Tammy Rivera wants fans to stay in their place.

The “Love and Hip Hop” star recently had to check a fan about mentioning her name with her husband Waka Flocka’s recent post. The “Round of Applause” rapper is never one to back down from his opinion, and is also not afraid to share it.

On Wednesday, Dec. 22, he reposted another Instagram user’s message that reads, “How y’all wanna be married and don’t split the bills, but get a divorce and want half of his sh-t.” In the post, which he uploaded to his Instagram Story, he added a question box and asked his fans “How you feel about this.”

A couple of gossip blogs screenshotted and reposted Waka’s message on their pages and asking them their thoughts on it. One person in particular left a very presumptuous comment about Waka’s wife Tammy. The person wrote, “TAMMY WANTS HALF! DAMN HE BECAME A WHOLE FATHER WHEN HE DIDNT HAVE TO..”

The person is referring to Waka being a father figure to Rivera’s daughter Charlie, whom she had from a previous relationship. Earlier this year speculations rose among Waka and Rivera’s fans that the two were not together. They have not outright confirmed the news themselves yet, but several signs have led up to the speculation. Even if they aren’t together romantically, it appears based on their birthday shout-outs to each other that they are still on good terms.

Waka was even photographed hanging out with Rivera’s daughter just last week.

It’s not often that Rivera responds to fans spreading rumors, but there have been times when she felt the need to, and this was one of those times.

She commented back to the person, saying, “Sweetie stfu, I ain’t her…I don’t need half of nothing from no one got my own bread..” She ended her message with one request, which was to “leave my name out this chat.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
