Waka Flocka Flame had a run-in with the law this weekend when he was admittedly arrested in Queens, N.Y., on Saturday, July 23, before being released the following day.

The Queens, N.Y.- born Atlanta rapper announced his short-term jail stint via Twitter July 24 before heading to a show at the Midland Theater in Kansas City, Mo.

“I’m finna jump on my flight 2 Kc ……. sorry 2 da whole m town 4 not coming I had spend a nite n jail with no charge #onlybecauseirap,” tweeted Flame, adding, “Can’t no 1 stop with GOD got planned 4me [know that].”

The “Grove St. Party” rapper narrowly escaped major jail time in May when he was cleared of drug charges stemming from a raid of his Georgia home in December 2010.

Waka Flocka Flame is scheduled to release his next (and possibly final) album, Ferrari Boyz, a joint album with fellow Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane, on Aug. 9. Hopefully, Flame can stay out of trouble until he finally retires at the end of the year. –nicholas robinson

    All I can say is, parents get involved in your children’s education and make sure they master the English and can construct complete articulate and intelligent sentences. That tweet was garbled babble at its best.
